PASIC 2009 marks a return to the Circle City where we held our convention in 1981. This is the end of a journey we started five years ago, when the Board of Directors voted to begin the process of relocation. Today, we can celebrate this new era in the long history of PAS. We have worked hard to again put together a fantastic lineup of world-class performers, clinicians, workshops, panel discussions, performances, concerts, and a “one of a kind” exhibit showcase of percussion instruments, cymbals, sticks, mallets, music, and much more. I would like to sincerely thank our percussion industry members, for without their dedication, hard work, and financial support, we would not be where we are today. Rhythm! Discovery Center is our new museum, and it is ready for viewing! Rhythm! is the result of years of hard work by many people at PAS—especially Michael Kenyon, our Executive Director, whose vision and steady hand guided us throughout. The most exciting aspect of our work was that the exhibits were developed with the help of PAS members and industry partners. Rhythm! was created by you! Only two blocks away from the convention center and attached through the skywalk system, do take time to drop by and enjoy this unique experience. We know you won’t be disappointed. This year, our PAS award recipients will be announced and introduced at the beginning of the evening concerts. I hope you will be there Thursday to salute the accomplishments of the recipients, and then on Friday to meet our newest Hall of Fame recipient: Mickey Hart of the Grateful Dead. If you’re attending the Hall of Fame Celebration, you will meet Mickey there as well. It should be fun! PASIC couldn’t take place without the tireless efforts of Jeff Hartsough, PAS Director of Event Production & Marketing, Patrice Bey, PAS Program and Events Manager, and Michael Kenyon and the entire PAS staff. I would also like to thank the Executive Committee for their hard work and boundless ideas and energy. Members of the Board provide leadership throughout the year and put in valuable time for PAS at the show. Please show your thanks when you see these folks in the halls. This annual gathering of students, teachers, artists, and industry is like no other. You can count on seeing old friends and making new ones. For our younger attendees or first-time guests, these four days could be truly “life-changing.” PAS is about community, and you are now a part of the most unbelievable group of people in the world. Make the most of these special four days at PASIC discovering new techniques, new sounds, new instruments, new music, and new ways of thinking. Enjoy!

proposals for presentation/performance at the 2010 PASIC Focus Day, Wednesday November 10, in Indianapolis, Indiana. The theme for the day is “The Ecology of Percussion.” The relationship between a work’s compositional aesthetic and its situation within a natural, urban, or cultural environment has provided both the inspiration and the resource for so many composers. Be it the chatter of birds painstakingly noted and found in Messaien’s “Oiseaux Exotiques,” or the sounds of clashing parades in Charles Ives “Three Places in New England,” works founded on a connection to their ecological surroundings have proven to be some of the most groundbreaking and forward-thinking compositions. In the world of percussion-based music, well-known composers have also sought to infuse elements of ecology into their compositional approach. Edgard Varèse’s seminal work “Ionisation” is one of the earliest and best examples of a piece that is representative of urban ecology while John Luther Adams’ “Strange and Sacred Noise” is more representative of natural ecology. Other composers of ecology-based works with percussion include John Cage, Matthew Burtner, Toru Takemitsu, Toshi Ichyanagi, Stuart Saunders Smith, and George Crumb. The 2010 Focus Day seeks to present the best of ecology-driven works for percussion. While all pieces that express ecological sentiments are considered suitable for submission, the committee is specifically interested in works that derive their strength from dynamic internal forces that connect them intimately to their immediate surroundings, be they natural, urban, cultural or otherwise. As always, the committee is interested in the participation of both emerging and established composers, scholars, and artists. All proposals that qualify for inclusion on the 2010 PASIC Focus Day will be given complete and careful consideration. Please note: expenses and the securing of instruments and funding sources will be the sole responsibility of the artist(s). This includes the logistical and financial considerations involved with additional performers. Please prepare and submit your proposal with this consideration.
