Composer Robert Carl (a fellow Penn alum) is a transcendentalist - to me, that visionary quality is the thread running through his diverse educational background (including work with Crumb, Rochberg, Shapey, Xenakis, and more), his varied musical interests, and his deeply moving compositions. An interview with Robert is featured on New Music Box this month; they have also posted his remarks to the Westfield State University New Music Festival. Check out Robert’s website here.
