I finished writing a new opera yesterday. We're going to be putting it together over the next couple of months and doing a workshop performance. At 2000 bars long, with my own words and music, it's probably the most ambitious thing I've ever made. I will try and share updates from the process here!

See you at this next week?

I recorded a bunch of my piano music recently and will be sharing a few pieces on here. Here's one inspired by a guy making announcements at a train station: youtu.be/VCsfASIxmvw Thanks to Zip Tie Studio for the video!

Excited to be doing this cool thing! I'm on this fellowship with the Alliance for Socially Engaged Arts for the next year and a half and looking forward to learning a lot from these cool people. www.allianceforsociallyengagedarts.org/15-socially-...

'Tis the season for calls for scores, so 'tis the season for some #RealTalk about the impact your well-intended call is having on composers. Ensembles: thank you for being interested in new music, and in discovering composers you aren't familiar with yet.
