In case you missed it: STEEL SYMPHONY was reviewed (and enjoyed!) by the New York Times

I wish I could say this was, you know, a regular occurrence for me, but seeing my name in the New York Times for the first time ever back in September was an immense - and, for me, unprecedented - thrill. When they mentioned me again in the paper, with a glowing review, I nearly crapped my pants.

Thanks to Christopher Houlihan for giving me some astonishing coat-tails to grab onto.

Steel Symphony has since been purchased by a number of other performers from around the United States. Hopefully this crazy little piece will continue to blow eardrums off all across the world for years to come.

If you'd like to purchase a bound copy of the score, by the way, you can do so on my store. It's $14, it's vermilion, and it's CRAZY.

But fun.

Thanks!

Nearly there!

I'm currently wrapping Machine Language for Beginners; here's one of the final pages of the manuscript! Come hear Boston Musica Viva premiere it on November 21, at Longy.

I've been on sort of a highlighter kick these past few months.

First look: MACHINE LANGUAGE FOR BEGINNERS

I'm putting the finishing touches on this large project for Boston Musica Viva, and I sincerely can't wait to hear them play it. As a little preview, here's the front cover!

Much more to come on this one.

THE HEDGEHOG'S DILEMMA out on CD/digital download

The Red Hedgehog Trio's 10x10 has officially dropped, and it's available via Bandcamp. Check it out!

RADIUM GIRLS opens tonight! Here's a sneak peak at the sound design.

This was a blast of a project, and I firmly encourage all of you to go see the show, which runs from September 4th through September 19th at the Charlestown Working Theater in Charlestown, MA. You can pick up tickets here, and you should! They've put together a magnificent production.

This excerpt is from a dream sequence, and it's best listened to with headphones (and a diaper, perhaps; this thing turns into a nightmare pretty quickly). Some of the sounds you'll hear: whale calls; Geiger counters; a sine-wave interpretation of the radioactive decay of an isotope of radium; and a choir of Meinl Helix Bowls, which are just freaking awesome (see my ESDO post below). And, you know, crying children. Because it's a nightmare.

Enjoy!
