paul cummings, bass
introducing one of the newest members of the group, bass (vocalist) Paul Cummings.
blog bio: Hey there, I'm a choral/solo singer who also teaches using Orff schulwerk process to k-8 children.
I have a bachelors in music education and a masters in voice performance. I'm on a bunch of cds with Boston Camerata, Ensemble P.A.N., Fortune's Wheel, and the Los Angeles Masterchorale. I'm
currently reading a book of sci fi stories by Vernor Vinge. Other sci fi authors I love include Ian M Banks, Ursula Le Guin (whose daughter teaches cello at UCLA) and William Gibson. Love contemporary fiction by the likes of E. Annie Proulx, Mark Helprin, Isabelle
Allende. I really liked the movie, "what the (bleep)do we know?", definitely a mind and heart expanding movie. I listen to Radio Head Kid A, and amnesiac, and everything from Bach's B minor mass, Ligeti piano etudes, choral music. All the minimalists stuff I canfind: Glass (amazing string quartets, you can tell he has heard of Beethoven) Adams (his music is a genre
unto itself, there is nothing he had written I don't admire), Reich(differnt trains, yes, desert music, yes, oh, and I got to sing that one). I love, love, love Messiaen. I just recently got a cd with him playing all of his organ music on the organ he played for years, very cool. His St Francis opera is the compilation of everything he is about. Mystical, an incredible sonic curiosity, and fearless in incorporating chaos and order to paint pictures of the heart of man and the mind of God.
