Mark Applebaum

Mark Applebaum
What to say about Mark Applebaum? He's the longest-haired professor at Stanford (but he ain't Professor Longhair). He plays jazz piano duos with his dad instead of shooting hoops. He has found another use for a mousetrap (rather than a different mousetrap for the same use). And his scores are as wacky as Ferneyhough's are complex.

Oh, and he's productive: he has 9 CDs on innova at the last count.
