	Nicolas Collins Interview
		The text which forms the backbone of the piece is a post-modern shaggy-dog story, a recursive loop of narrative where stories-within-stories-within-stories are the norm, where the text is both "borrowed" and about borrowing; and which is ultimately mirrored in the music's own use of appropriated sounds.
		Nicolas Collins' music has in the past adopted a similar approach, but as the years have passed, "composerly intent" has taken a greater and greater place.
		The guests generally stick to their acknowledged speciality, while Collins showcases the ability of his electronic trombone to sample his guest in real-time, loop back the results and modify it as desired.

		Using his fingers to bridge the circuits inside, the radio on the table in front of him was talking—white noise, bits of broadcasts—a far cry from the usual AM talk-radio banter.
		Collins has stripped apart and reconfigured all sorts of gadgets and toys in pursuit of new sounds.
		Collins, currently the chair of the Department of Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, calls himself a Luddite when it comes to the computer programs most of his students are fluent in.

		Collins helped program the third annual Bent festival, held last month in New York, and among the nearly four dozen acts appearing were local solo artist Spunky Toofers and former Chicagoan Peter Blasser, whose bizarre and often beautiful homemade synths have made him a guru to circuit benders.
		Collins isn't even the only person in town teaching classes in circuit bending anymore: Patrick McCarthy of the Rubber Monkey Puppet Company holds a semiregular seminar at the Old Town School.
		On Saturday Collins will be at Quimby's for a release party and free hacking demo, where he'll continue the ongoing project of demystifying his own expertise.

	Nicolas Collins - truth in clouds
		Wir schieben das Glas und lesen, langsam, Wort für Wort aus dem Jenseits: "Er liebt mich nicht, aber er bedauert es." Ungläubig blicken wir auf und erkennen gegenüber, tief in ein Fauteuil geschmiegt, Ursula Block, die wissend lächelt.
		Auf der Premiere der Performance-Installation "Truth in Clouds" nahm die Neue-Musik-Szene Berlins dankbar den Salon in Besitz, den der New Yorker Nicolas Collins ihr mit zurückhaltendem Charm bereitet hat.
		Collins wählte charakteristisches aber wenig bekanntes Material, das er nach Art seiner manipulierten CD-Player nun in instrumentalem Live-Scratching destruiert.

		SonX is a wide-ranging collection of new pieces commissioned by the innovative chamber ensemble Zeitkratzer, a group including members from both the contemporary classical and free improvisation worlds.
		Here they do a live version of a Nicolas Collins piece, "Broken Choir," in which they mimic that composer's penchant for using skipping CD players, the ensemble scurrying enjoyably back and forth in quasi-minimalist fashion.
		Elliott Sharp 's "Coriolis Effect" will sound familiar to fans of his work, covering ground similar to the pieces he's composed for groups such as the Soldier String Quartet and consisting of iterating kernels of atonal music with a slightly rockish rhythmic base.

	Kammerkonzert von Nicolas Collins
		Die "eventual environments" des Kammerensembles Neue Musik Berlin in der Parochialkirche waren eigentlich konzipiert als eine kleine Konzertreihe, in der Komponisten selbst festlegen, auf welche fremden Werke ihre eigenen Stücke treffen.
		Nicolas Collins hingegen verwandelte seinen Abend in ein reines Portraitkonzert, und statt mit David Tudor, Alvin Lucier oder Robert Ashley bedeutende Vertreter der nordamerikanischen experimentellen Musik aufzuführen, spürte er deren Einfluß in seinem eigenen Werken nach.
		Mit zwei Uraufführungen schließlich hat Collins das präzis agierende, die improvisatorischen Anforderungen souverän lösende Ensemble bedacht: "Still (After) Lives" läßt statt wie in "Still Lives" (1993) einen modifizierten CD-Player, nun ein akustisches Nonett unregelmäßige "Samplingloops" bilden und so munter durch eine Canzona von Guiseppe Guami stolpern.

	The Other Music Update
		The piece was conceived between 1974 and 1976 while Collins was studying under Alvin Lucier at Wesleyan University (interestingly enough, Apestaartje founder Koen Holtkamp a/k/a Aero was a student of Collins years later at the Art Institute Of Chicago).
		Collins came up with a system of circuitry to create audio feedback that would interact uniquely with the resonant frequencies in whatever space he performed.
		On this performance, Collins is joined by double bass improvisor George Cremaschi.

	The Barton Workshop Profile
		The workshop primarily creates "composer portrait" concerts, usually in collaboration with the composers, which provide either an overview or an in-depth representation of a chosen composer's work.
		The Barton Workshop has collaborated with composers such as Alvin Lucier, Christian Wolff, Nicolas Collins, and Frank Denyer and given world and European premieres of works by Galina Ustvolskaya, Henryk Gorecki, Alvin Lucier, James Fulkerson, Jerry Hunt, Frank Denyer, Nicolas Collins and others.
		Because the works performed by the ensemble often require unusual performance techniques, ensemble skills, use of live-electronics, etc., The Barton Workshop maintains a regular rehearsal schedule irrespective of the current concert or recording schedule in order to develop the requisite abilities needed for this music.
