		Larry Polansky is the composer of a unique body of work that sets highly intellectual, computer-based systems into action in the creation of wonderfully inventive music that sometimes incorporates "low-brow" source materials and vernacular musical styles into its "high-brow" mechanisms.
		Polansky's writings on computer music, music theory, and visionary and iconoclastic American composers, including Ruth Crawford Seeger (on whose work he is a noted expert), have appeared in numerous publications.
		Polansky is the co-founder and co-director of the composer's collective Frog Peak Music, the founding guest editor of the Leonardo Music Journal, and a member of the board of directors of the periodical Perspectives of New Music.

		Larry Polansky returns to the fore with piano styled of early rocknroll, which is the say, that it comes at both ears from different places and stays relatively stolid.
		Larry Polansky creates a piano atmosphere that is not to be mist - it crawls like mustard gas, eventually to catch up.
		Larry Polansky returns again, creating a piece that seems much like what has come before but is this to emphasize how little my ears have been trained as yet?

		In its uncut form, Larry Polansky's Lonesome Road (the Crawford variations) plays for nearly an hour and a half.
		Polansky uses Ruth Crawford's harmonization of the folk song "Lonesome Road" as a jumping-off point to engender 51 small sections organized into three larger ones.
		Polansky's variations usually behave like paraphrases, where the original tune distorts, changes shape, disappears, or peeks out from behind in the form of a reminder card.

	Classical Net Review - Polansky - Four-Voice Canons
		Larry Polansky is the modern dean of the mensuration canon, although the form is more than a half-millennium old.
		(Polansky gave three different composer/performers a blueprint for the canon's construction, but left the materials used up to them.) The composer himself uses a variety of sounds – traditionally musical and otherwise – to build his canons.

	Ought One Have Attended?
		Steenhuisen’s two other selections were very brief; pomme de terre for solo piccolo figuratively spiral-cuts its title potato, producing a bubbly plate full of trills, while the solo tape work, Poland is not yet lost, is a promising idea (distortions on an old recording of that country’s national anthem) that merits further elaboration.
		Piker by Larry Polansky is a duo for piccolo and electric guitar; the latter provides a droning platform for its active soloist, who plays a tune that first evolves from isolated fragments to frantic swirling lines and then juxtaposes the two extremes.
		Polansky’s work conjures up a static wall of sound that suggests process kinship without usually employing patterned material, asking the players to tune their guitar strings in microtonal increments as they go along.

		HMSL or Hierarchical Music Specification Language flaunts its flexibility on this recording from one of its developers and top promoters, Larry Polansky.
		From Woody Guthrie/Javanese gamelan fusion to a resynthesis of Ruth Crawford's Piano Study in Mixed Accents and even farther afield to a work for two electric guitars and rock band, Polansky effectively demonstrates some of the diverse possibilities of the 20 year-old compositional computer language.
		Other works included on this recording demonstrate Polansky's affection for microtonality and gradual modulation.

		Each specimen is a unique and fascinating creature that inhabits some strange, intriguing musical space.

		However rare, it is not surprising to find Christian Wolff improvising with fellow composer/musicians Dong and Polansky.
		Much of Wolff’s recent work involves the freedom of events for composer, performer, and listener; in fact, many of his traditionally scored pieces also have improvisational aspects.

		Please don't quote from me here, I'm just trying to add some ideas to the discussion, and more, ask some further questions re: things that weren't clear to me from the short Garfias contribution.
		People who work with tunings more or less automatically drop and compound octaves without thinking about them too much, unless that kind of distinction is VERY specifically required, as it can be (and very well may be here in Garfias' work, I can't tell from the brief comments I read).
