Quite literally “The Future of Music: Now”, Iron Composer Omaha is an instant composition contest modeled on the legendary Japanese cooking show wherein contestants have to create a multi-course meal in the space of one hour centered around a secret ingredient.
At noon today, the five finalists were told what type of ensemble the would be writing for and the secret ingredient was revealed. They had to submit a final score and parts within five hours. ANALOG has had just under two hours to prepare them for performance, and our distinguished panel of judges will decide who is the Iron Composer.
