For this edition of Everything Is Real Radio, host Sam Sebren is joined in the studio by experimental composer/musician Mary Jane Leach. Her work reveals a fascination with the physicality of sound, its acoustic properties and how they interact with space. Ms. Leach is also the co-editor with Renee Levine Packer of Gay Guerilla: Julius Eastman and His Music (University of Rochester Press, 2015), a collection of biographical and musical essays about composer/pianist/choreographer/vocalist Julius Eastman (1940 - 1990). Eastman, a child prodigy who grew up in Ithaca, first came to prominence in 1970 with Buffalo University's avant garde SEM Ensemble, performing with Morton Feldman, John Cage, Pauline Oliveros, and others. Mary Jane Leach and other dedicated peers have worked for the last 20 years as "accidental musicologists" to find and rescue as much of Eastman's works as possible.
