Facebach
Craig's Liszt Time Out Chicago, May 8-14. Several months ago I was kicking around on MySpace when I came across this guy's page. Intrigued by the flute writing in his composition Enwrapt, I shot this Evan Kuchar fellow a message and asked him if he was playing anywhere. He and his ensemble, Anomie, are slowly getting off the ground by playing Friday nights at Danny's Tavern, a suprisingly classical friendly space Marc Geelhoed wrote about back in 2005. I met him for coffee one morning, learned his story and then took him upstairs to the Time Out offices to get his photo taken. Looking back, I think the piece is less about Kuchar and more about the possibilities that come to you by turning on the computer.
