And the winner is…

Thursday, July 26th, 2007

Harmonizedmotion!! Adam wrote me last week to tell me he had won first place. He notes that “…some folks even said that they ‘had never seen a choreographed flower stick routine’”. Here’s an mp3 of the final mix, which we adjusted to soften some of the ending cues, and we slowed the tempo a little [...]

fulcrum

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

I’m working on a tight assignment – under two minutes of music for a devil sticks performance at the 2007 IJA Festival.

The Monitor and I have parted ways amicably. Actually, it’s been that way for two weeks and three days, as I write this. Why the delay in writing about it? Well, look at my track record. It’s not like I post here every day, you know. But it did occur to me that it would [...]
