Always on the cutting edge of what’s new and significant in contemporary American music, the online magazine NewMusicBox featured Aaron Jay Kernis in an insightful interview. Senior Editor Frank J. Oteri chatted with Kernis about prose, 20’s jazz, Top 40, Twitter, zeitgeist, and Leta Miller’s new Kernis biography (University of Illinois Press). At one point, Oteri asks the composer how he feels about a biographer connecting the dots of his musical pieces and getting to his essence as a person. Kernis replies “…which of these Aaron Kernises am I?” Visit NewMusicBox to find out more, view the conversation, and browse through some photos and scores.
