For Kyriakides, you can still hear his music, as well as his own thoughts on
it, in the brodcast archives at Kalvos and Damian's New Music Bazaar, along
with a wealth of other interesting composers young and old, some well-known
and some that should be (and even a number of people who show up on this
newsgroup). If you go to the index of guests:

You can find the date each was broadcast, and from there you can go to the
list of shows:

http://www.kalvos.org/shows.html


and find that particular one to listen to. It's sad about "Mappings"
disappearance, but at least we have this amazing resource still. (Though
it's just as amazing that it's all essentially built on the simple
creativity, tenacity, time and pocket change of two guys in the "wilds" of
Vermont. That's a fragile treasure, and I can't think of another project out
there that more deserves a few of my spare dollars each month. Like any
resource, you can suck it down without any thought about tomorrow, or you
can nurture it so that it just might be there again for you and anyone
coming after.)
