Soundcrawl:2011

Hello everyone! I'm pleased to announce that Soundcrawl: Nashville is back for a third installment! Soundcrawl:2011 is slowly migrating to www.soundcrawl.org, which will help us position for a blissful future of bringing the best of the avantgarde to Nashville this fall.

New additions are a full soundstation of Student works, AND and a full soundstation of works by Local Artists! We love being able to encourage these talented folks.

Life is Crazy!

Life moves too fast: i'm getting married in seven weeks, hosting SoundCrawl Twenty Ten, working 50hrs/wk at the church, replacing my car, replacing the keyboard in my MacBookPro, moving to her apartment, blogging, and launching A Call To Art.

I guess I'll sleep when I'm dead.

Rapido!

I got the Rapido stuff in the mail on Monday, which is great.

I hope to be sending some things off to a few other contests as well.

Hi!

Hi everyone! It's great to meet you. Thanks for stopping by. In the upper right hand corner is the box with the free music.

Directly above this is a media widget with all kinds of functions, including playing music, and facilitating downloads. Don't forget to sign up for the email list!

I marched Crown 2003, 2004 and 2005, playing lead baritone. It was quite a blessing to be a part of the New Crown's formative years, and to watch that effort blossom. No doubt there will soon be a championship drum corps in Fort Mill, it is only a matter of time.

Yours

the wise words of Susan Sontag, written almost 50 years ago in her essay "Against Interpretation":

"Our task is not to find the maximum amount of content in a work of art, much less to squeeze more content out of the work than is already there. Our task is to cut back on content so that we can see the thing at all. The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art ? and, by analogy, our own experience ? more, rather than less, real to us."

okay, so I haven't actually gotten started on the WE piece.. I did spend a few minutes staring a a piano and fiddling through a few things, but I expect them to show up in the Rapido piece.

Oh, and yesterday I submitted the recordings of the recital to itunes...so that'll be fun.
(they say it can take 6-8 weeks)

Atlanta Chamber Players

Just got the go-ahead for the Atlanta Chamber Players contest: Rapido- I've got 14 days to write a 4-6 minute piece for oboe, violin, viola, cello and piano. Should be really interesting. Oh, and it's supposed to be a theme and variations...

sidenote: this is the first contest I've seen that limited itself to Southern composers.. women, GLBT, New York, Boston, & S.F., yes... but never midwestern or southern... Com'on guys! there are plenty of composers all over the place now!
