I haven’t posted anything for a few months, but I have been busy, I promise, writing music and doing research. I may put up small excerpts of my thesis on my blog as the paper develops. Clips from music will go up as well.
If you’re in Orange County today or tomorrow, you can come to UCI and catch New Slate! I wrote music for one of the works. Details below:
New Slate, a dance concert featuring new works by Claire Trevor School of the Arts graduate student choreographers.
