An update
It has been awhile... I always intend to keep more regular blog posts, but things get in the way - mostly it's good things like getting caught up in the studio working on new music, so I can't really complain. Since last time there has been a bunch of stuff that I thought I would [...]
Flare (and a doctoral footnote)
Last year I worked on an experimental dance film with Dan Inglis and Dujon Cullingford. The piece is kind of an exploration of breakdancing in an unusual way.

It is [...]

It is an exciting time - loving the creative work. On the past weekend I spent a lot of time out in the [...]

I am also working on a piece for four pianos, a piece for guitar, some solo instrument pieces, and a couple of new larger scale theatrical pieces (more details to come soon). In the meantime, [...]
