Name an iconic Sixties rock moment and Ellen Sander was probably there. A beautifully written, sweeping yet intimate account of America's cultural awakening in that decade. Massively entertaining -- Rolling Stone. As a pioneering rock journalist for Hit Parader, Vogue, Saturday Review, and other publications, Ellen Sander had a backstage pass to the hottest music scenes of the 1960s. In this feast of juicy anecdotes and keen social commentary, she draws upon her professional and personal experiences to chronicle pop culture's highs and lows during the turbulent decade. Join her for weird and wild road trips with companions ranging from Yippies to the members of Led Zeppelin. Stops along the way include the folk music clubs of Greenwich Village, Haight-Ashbury in its riotous heyday, and the euphoric festivals at Monterey and Woodstock. It is a memoir, a sourcebook, and a love letter, Sander writes, a recollection of a time, parenthesized by ambivalence and apathy, a search for the ultimate high, a generation with an irrepressible vision, its art, artists, its audience, and the substance of its statement. This expanded edition of Trips adds The Plaster Casters of Chicago, Sander's seminal piece on groupie culture, the lengthy Concerts and Conversations, as well as a new Preface and chapter postscripts. Simply one of the best pieces of rock reportage ever written. -- Los Angeles Review of Books.

Farallones is inspired by the Greater Farallones National Marine Sanctuary (GFNMS) off the Northern California coast, spanning 3,295 square miles north and west of San Francisco. The Farallones (Spanish for cliffs) are a set of islands that are sometimes referred to as The Devil’s Teeth by mariners, citing the many dangerous underwater shoals and shipwrecks. The first recorded observation of these islands was in 1579 by Sir Frances Drake, with the first reference to the outcroppings as “farallones” written by Spanish Friar Antonio de la Ascension in 1603. The location of the islands and their rugged and ominous appearance likely were responsible for the relatively late discovery by explorers of San Francisco Bay, which didn’t happen until 1769, nearly 200 years after Sir Frances Drake’s expedition. The islands and their natural resources and habitat have been used and exploited in many different ways over the centuries, from the seal fur trade in the early 1800s to a nuclear waste dumping ground in the 1940s–1960s. The islands have been hosts to hunting camps, weather stations, rum runners during prohibition, lighthouse keepers, and even a U.S. Naval station during World War II. The first protections for the area were established in 1981 and expanded over the following decades. Over time, species and habitats have been restored. The Farallones is now home to a beautiful and diverse marine ecosystem that supports many endangered and threatened species. This piece began as a chamber work for a septet that included piano and string bass. When I reworked it for wind ensemble, I left the piano and string bass in the orchestration as a nod to my original (unfinished) chamber piece. The opening section in 7/4 depicts the rugged environment and unpredictability of the swirling currents around the islands. Descending scalar motifs and trills emphasize the fluidity of the seascape. The exploitation of the islands and conflict surrounding the use of natural resources drive the accented passages throughout the piece. The 12/8 section is a development into the resilience and dangerous beauty of the area. Recalled themes and motifs from the first section in an even rather than uneven meter depict the solid future of the ecosystem.
