DAY ONE<\/h3>\n

10:45 A.M.<\/strong> Reykjav\u00edk, Iceland. I wake up later than I want, and desperately read, again, the last twenty pages of Alan Hollinghurst\u2019s The Folding Star<\/a><\/em>. By this point, the plot has turned into a fun cross-Benelux car chase. I myself have just come from a slightly awkward but ultimately fun week in Benelux, where I was resident at a chamber music festival, and every time I go to the Netherlands I reread this book. I make special digital note, this time, of some good descriptions: \u201cminatory Flemish motets.\u201d<\/p>\n

3:30 P.M. <\/strong>Oh my God, there is an Ali Farka Tour\u00e9 album I don\u2019t own:\u00a0Red & Green<\/a><\/em>. I\u2019m buying it right now. I am going to also take this opportunity to rebuy the Toumani Diabat\u00e9 album Djelika<\/a><\/em>. I am, as always, fascinated by the weird intervalic overlap between Morricone scores and Malian music. I\u2019m making a note to go know more about this. It is also noted that Mio, the brother of Valgeir, both of whom I am making a ton of records with this week in Iceland, has pants very similar in cut to those featured on the cover of Red & Green<\/em>.<\/p>\n

DAY TWO<\/h3>\n

\"\"5:45 A.M. <\/strong>I wake up in a panic\u2014an anxiety dream about an e-mail argument, which is prescient given the early-morning realities of my inbox. To calm myself, I buy music online manically. The new Iron and Wine<\/a> cover is neurosis-provoking neon, but I buy it anyway. While listening on headphones, I fall back asleep and iTunes continues and mysteriously plays Paula Deen\u2019s \u201cThanksgiving Special,\u201d in which she makes oyster dressing. I actually like her accent, although the way she pronounces the word for<\/em> (as in, \u201cI\u2019ll let this fry up here for a minute\u201d) strikes me as uncharacteristically Vietnamese.<\/p>\n

\"\"12:00 P.M.<\/strong> Car trip into downtown Reykjav\u00edk with my boyfriend! An assistant is sorting through this afternoon\u2019s brass sheet music, so I feel at liberty to give my boyfriend free run of the iPod in the car. He deftly assembles an outgoing play list of \u201cCanadians\u201d\u00a0(Tegan and Sara<\/a>, the Arcade Fire<\/a>, Katy Perry<\/a>\u2014we both assume she is Canadian but cannot verify) and an incoming play list of \u201cLesbians of Color\u201d (Tracy Chapman<\/a> and Toshi Reagon<\/a>).<\/p>\n

6:00 P.M.<\/strong> This afternoon\u2019s work is to record brass arrangement for the upcoming album of\u00a0Mia Maestro<\/a>, an Argentine songstress. I\u2019m still surprised by the magical lift the two horns and two trombones offer to the surface of a song. The trick is to delay their entrance longer than you think is right, and then, after one more bar\u2019s worth of waiting, sneak in.<\/p>\n

\"\"2:00 A.M.<\/strong> Dario Fo made a documentary about 9\/11<\/a>? Is Dario Fo a 9\/11 Truther? This poorly edited and sensationally scored documentary seems to think so! I\u2019m renting it from iTunes for what I am told is the sixth time; I haven\u2019t yet managed to get all the way through. The Internet connection here is rather taxed by intercontinental transfers, so I forgo the reunion show of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew<\/em> and an HD version of an episode of Law and Order<\/em>, featuring\u00a0Shohreh Aghdashloo, that seems, on loose inspection, to not actually contain any sex crimes.<\/p>\n

DAY THREE<\/h3>\n

\"\"11:00 A.M.<\/strong> Today is a huge, marathon recording session, so I am not going to listen to any other music besides the music I\u2019m meant to be recording. I am ambitiously trying to record three sets of arrangements in seven hours: the first for Mia Maestro; the second for Luke Ritchie<\/a>, a very earnest English singer-songwriter; and the third, a trio of abstract arrangements for a Latvian performance-art boy band, whose members, when performing live, wear giant panda heads and impossibly proportioned wigs. Their music sounds like a genius combination of Queen and Alfred Deller or … something. They\u2019re called Instrumenti<\/a>.<\/p>\n

12:30 P.M. <\/strong>I\u2019m cheating. There is a distracting kerfuffle in the other room: it seems somebody has misplaced somebody else\u2019s camera. Keys to the car are being tossed about, couch cushions overturned, muted Latin recriminations. I\u2019m rewarding myself for not being involved by listening to a quick set of bounces I just got of an album I\u2019m making with a chamber orchestra in London. These are some arrangements of motets by William Byrd, my favorite favorite. Now I\u2019ll listen, quickly, to the original choral recordings to right myself before seven hours of strings.<\/p>\n

1:00 A.M. <\/strong>We listen through the day\u2019s work with wine and whisky. Everybody is pleased. It starts snowing. I crawl into bed and attempt to \u201cquietly\u201d\u00a0watch another ten minutes of this Dario Fo nonsense.<\/p>\n

Nico Muhly<\/a> is a composer based in New York City. Check back tomorrow for the second installment of his culture diary.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
