www.ascap.com Here's some Sound Advice from Raven Chacon, a prolific composer, performer and installation artist and the first Native American to win the Pulitzer Prize in Music, for his thought-provoking work "Voiceless Mass."
Raven opines on how composers can find musicians to perform their music, how to infuse social/political messages into your music, even if it doesn't have lyrics - and how the space where your music will be performed can shape your compositions. He also speaks movingly about how his Native American heritage has impacted his work.
