Music

So, this is a little bit of the my much hyped electronic glockenspiel project. It's the first 10 minutes from the New Music Unit Power Concert I played on March 13th.

Power Concert #3

Recently....

I performed this Friday at the New Music Unit Power Concert series at my house. I did the 1st 20 minutes from the Goodbye Blue Monday show I did back in January. I will post audio and photos soon (it will be just like you were there). Also, photographer and friend Juan Giraldo did a little photo shoot after my performance. I'll post some of those when I get them.

So I am currently practicing the marimba part from my "Trio" for clarinet, guitar, and marimba, as well as Josh Lopes' "Keen Promise" vibraphone solo, and my "Diagrams" for percussion solo. All for recordings which will hopefully take place next month. Joe Bergen and I will be splitting the recording of Diagrams, as he plans to play it on a NMU power concert in the future anyway.

Why the sudden recording fever? Well, I want to submit my Trio for my grad school applications in the fall, Josh Lopes asked me to learn Keen Promise for a recording so he could send it to places to hear his music (like 6 months ago... sorry Josh, better late than never?? I hope), and I plan to submit Diagrams to the Percussive Arts Society composition competition this year for "Multiple Percussion Solo (small set-up)".

Also, I'm still waiting for Composers, Inc., a California based composer/performer group to announce this years Lee Ettelson Composer's Award for which I submitted my Trio back in November. The announcement date has been set back from March 10th to March 23rd. Perhaps the awesomeness of my Trio has stunned them so much it's going to take them an extra 13 days to recover?? ... not likely, but one can dream.
