Oregon Artswatch - This vibrant ecosystem of creativity here: Talking with Kenji Bunch about Fear No Music's all-Oregon season
"...on that concert with David Schiff's work, I'm positioning new work by the new Composer Collective, Raindrop New Music, and I think it's nice to combine those two things on the same stage, and say, here's something, a classic work by someone we all know and love and respect and here's new work by this emerging, exciting new group, let's check that out."

"Each night’s run also has a guest slot, ‘round about 7:30. On the 21st it’s a performance of yet another Poe-inspired work, this one by Carolyn Quick (yet another Oregon composer, yet another Neher collaborator – she’s in Raindrop New Music with Neher and Drew Swatosh, and you’ll hear from the three of them when Fear No Music plays their music next January)."
