Robert Ashley

Robert Ashley is a contemporary composer, best known for his operas and other theatrical works. His operas are far from traditional as they usually incorporate electronics and are written and produced for television. He explains that English is a language where the consonants count, not the vowels, unlike many European languages, and so the text in operas written in English should be delivered much faster.
Ashley is the founder of the ONCE group and festival, as well as a past member of the Sonic Arts Union along with David Behrman, Alvin Lucier, and Gordon Mumma.

Hi I don't know how else to contact you, but it looks like you have not used this blog for a long time and I was hoping to have this blog name for an organization I'm hoping to start. Would you be willing to give up this blog name? Please let me know. Thank you!
