Other Minds

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Other Minds is a San Francisco based non-profit organization, founded in 1992 by Charles Amirkhanian and Jim Newman, devoted to presenting, preserving, and helping build a community around a varied, open-ended approach to new music, as represented particularly by such artists as Meredith Monk, Muhal Richard Abrams, Terry Riley, Frederic Rzewski, Margaret Leng Tan, Henry Brant, Conlon Nancarrow, Robert Ashley, Lou Harrison, and scores of others, all of whom have been featured artists at the annual Other Minds Festivals. In 2002 Other Minds inaugurated a free internet webradio service called radiOM.org, where users can access hundreds of hours of recorded audio material, interviews with prominent composers of our time, unique performances, examples of sound poetry, and much more. Other Minds also has a record label, with a continually expanding catalog.
