Editing Paul Lansky (section)

==Instrumental music==
During the mid 1990s Lansky began to be approached by performers who were attracted to the performative-like aspects of his computer music.  Percussionists in particular were attracted by pieces such as ''Table’s Clear'', which resembles a gamelan made of pots and pans, and the "chatter" series. One of his first large percussion pieces was ''Threads'', 2005, written for the [[Sō Percussion]] quartet. Since then there are about a dozen pieces for percussion instruments, alone and in various ensembles. Another focus has been classical guitar, alone and in combination: ''Semi-Suite'', ''With the Grain'' (concerto), Partita (guitar and percussion.) A residency with the Alabama Symphony led to several orchestral pieces (''Shapeshifters'', ''Imaginary Islands''). Significant commissions came from the Library of Congress and the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center for the wind quintet ''The Long and Short of It'', and Chamber Music America for a trio for the Janus Trio, ''Book of Memory'', and for Sō Percussion, ''Springs''. The 2004 trio for horn, violin and piano, ''Etudes and Parodies'' won the 2005 International Horn Society prize. Lansky's instrumental music is published by [[Carl Fischer Music|Carl Fischer]]. The bulk of his computer music as well as much instrumental music is available on [[Bridge Records]].
