	Recommended Composers: Mikel Rouse (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		One of the keys to Mikel Rouse's fearlessly pioneering personality is that, when he was in third grade, he permanently changed the spelling of his first name Michael to Mikel - but they're pronounced just the same.
		Rouse is best known now for his operas, which in Downtown tradition are not traditionally operatic at all - no fat ladies or love duets here.
		Rouse writes his own lyrics, and has a bracing way of evoking American life in just a few well-repeated words.

	Mikel Rouse - NetNewMusic/Sequenza21 New Music Wiki
		Rouse's music is idiomatically and stylistically indebted to popular music, yet he uses complex rhythmic techniques derived from African music and the Schillinger system.
		In the early 1990s he developed a technique he calls "counterpoetry" in which the same text (or sometimes different texts) is spoken in several overdubbed, rhythmically different versions for a kind of verbal counterpoint.
		Rouse's association with Ben Neill and Kyle Gann in New York in the early 1990s led to the recognition of a new rhythmic complexity in minimalist-based music that came to be referred to as totalism.

	[No title]
		That’s Mikel Rouse, creator of the first opera in the form of a talk show, just as Dennis Cleveland is the first musical talk show host.
		Rouse studied African rhythms in A. Jones’s Studies in African Music, and also chanced upon one of the few teachers in New York qualified to teach the Schillinger method.
		Rouse took some key phrases from the book: the initial words “Age of reason,” for example, and “altered bodies,” “beautiful murders,” “apparent money.” Even more, he took from it reinforcement of his idea of talk-show host as priest.

		When Mikel Rouse takes over New York City's John Jay College Theater as the charismatic TV talk-show host, Dennis Cleveland, in early May 2002, audience members will be experiencing the tip of a one-of-a-kind creative iceberg.
		Mikel Rouse is becoming equally known for creating career and educational opportunities for emerging professional artists at colleges and universities and for at-risk high school students.
		A child of the heartland, Mikel Rouse definitely is self-motivated, constantly seeking ways to connect classical with contemporary, old expectations with new technologies for both the themes and techniques of his work.

	classical music - andante - one-man "opera" at the 2002 perth festival
		Mikel Rouse's murky Failing Kansas and Benjamin Bagby's riveting sung recitation of Beowulf.
		The accompanying music is on tape, as is the sound of a voice (presumably Rouse's); he also sings — perhaps "chants" is a better term, with occasional crooning — into one of the microphones, selecting a different one for each song.
		Rouse is clearly deeply involved in his performance, and the whole is a considerable creation, but the audience is on the outside looking rather opaquely in.

		Rouse’s opera is not a simple re-telling of the cold-blooded murder of the Kansas family.
		The accompaniment to Rouse’s singing is in the form of electronic music, which is also performed by the artist and has been pre-recorded in a studio.
		Rouse overlaid his own voice on taped tracks to create the multiple layers of voices.

		The French name to the contrary, Mikel Rouse originally formed his trio in Kansas City, relocating it to New York in 1979.
		As a singer, Rouse shows promise, but Etudes borrows far too much from early Talking Heads to be accused of originality and is rhythmically monotonous to boot.
		Rouse's writing here shows as much heart as craft, and the result is a batch of very engaging tunes that are still compositionally rigorous.

		Rouse received earlier acclaim for "Failing Kansas," a multimedia performance that attempted to convey the ideas in Truman Capote's nonfiction novel "In Cold Blood" in a form unique from the original narrative.
		Rouse means "minorities" to imply the lack of individuality in the current offerings of corporate media, not to be confused with its racial connotation.
		With "Music For Minorities," Rouse ultimately continues his entirely original and affecting method of storytelling that has been compared by critics to the experience of listening to Bob Dylan for the first time, in terms of a different sound or approach.

		Performers Mikel Rouse, Zoe Lister-Jones, and Cort Garretson are digitally transported into an environment created from the ads depicted in the story, as the worlds of music, art, and advertising combine — adding powerful fuel to the ongoing debate over the lines between commerce and culture.
		Jonathan Dee’s 1998 novel about the intersection of art and advertising is the basis for a new music-video performance work by the avant-garde composer Ben Neill and the media artist Bill Jones (which includes songs with lyrics written by Lance Jensen, the creative director at Modernista who designed Volkswagen’s “Drivers Wanted” campaign).

		The musical styles of this generation were sometimes referred to as postminimalism.

		Meanwhile, the stage show is presented in what Rouse refers to as “hyperreal” fashion.

		The story Rouse is exploring is that of the murder of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1960.
		If music theatre composer Philip Glass and his collaborator Robert Wilson are the godfathers of this work, the musical palimpsest is positioned somewhere between Bob Dylan and Laurie Anderson with a nod to the Beat poets of the '50s.
		Rouse has created for himself a solo act that demands remarkable concentration in dealing with its complex rhythms and multiple narratives.
