OM15: Fago B&W PrintsDescription
Tom Johnson is seen standing and addressing some of his fellow OM 15 composers, who are seated around the conference table, during their retreat at the Djerassi Resident Artists Program, prior to the start of the 15th Other Minds Music Festival in March of 2010. Those seated around the table are (l to r), a heavily shadowed unidentified man who may be Kidd Jordan or Jürg Frey, Natasha Barrett, Lisa Bielawa, & Paweł Mykietyn. Another unidentified individual can be seen standing further back, on the far left of the photograph. Tom Johnson, born in 1939, worked as a music critic for the Village Voice for many years before moving to Paris in 1983 where he has since largely devoted himself to composition. He is considered a minimalist composer and his works are often based on simple scales or logical, mathematical progressions or combinations of a select number of notes. However Johnson has produced a large body of work, including a number of operas and compositions for orchestra or large ensemble, as well as a variety of radio pieces.Genres & Subjects
