i just can’t score

May 16, 2008

Not that this matters to many of you, but the score i wrote?  I had some notation issues in terms of being clear.  I believe the issues are fixed, and i re-uploaded the pdf.  I also got rid of the 32nd note in the beginning, but I won’t change the mp3 until i get to […]

music comp

May 15, 2008

My semester is drawing to a close, which means that the wonder that is the summer and my thesis is about to begin. It’s a little daunting, but pretty awesome overall. I had a book art gallery reception on Tuesday, which was a lot of fun, and one of my books is in […]

the tender land

May 9, 2008

Harvard’s dunster opera society and bach society orchestra are performing Copeland’s the Tender Land this weekend. This is awesome (to me at least) and I am going on Sunday at 3.
Here’s my relationship to the piece: i once got into district regional chorus, which was awesome and crazy and competitive and we had […]

sound

May 8, 2008

Last week i made the decision that i am absolutely sick of iTunes.  i used it because it fit the bill and did more than other programs i had been using and had more information visually available, even if i hated referencing the iTunes store for everything and i hated the limited browsing of podcasts […]

philosphical about cute penguins

April 4, 2008

I’ve been listening to a new Pandora station that I’ve titled “Can you Feel It (Shame).”  The songs that input the station are all based on funky disco stuff that generally makes me happy and productive, and while i sit at my desk i get to bop back and forth while doing work.
Occasionally the tune […]

can YOU feel it?

April 3, 2008

Nothing says amazing like a groovy song that creates the world. What’s awesome about the full theatrical music video of The Jackson’s Can You Feel It is that there are numerous sci-fi movie sounds, including some from Star Wars. Serious. Michael Jackson shoots stars out of his head into the sky.
The video is […]

prince

April 1, 2008

For some reason I never really considered how old Prince is… he’s an amazing musician who i absolutely adore, but I never really thought about it.  I am often amazed by artists with amazing longevity and independent creativity (which I was thinking about over the weekend while listening to Queen).  I hadn’t realized that Prince’s […]

music of the moment

January 29, 2008

Last week I got a chance to see The Birthday Massacre over at the Middle East.  Nothing like an industrial/electronica/goth band to bring a smile to my face. Envision lots of monochromatic clothing and black eyeliner, and you’ve pretty much got the crowd down pat.  Only 2 corsets though, so I underestimated on that account.
Anyhow, […]

January 14, 2008

So I’m back at work after having trudged in through the snow.  I’ll give you a little update.  I didn’t post at all last week.  I was busy finishing up my coursework for the fall semester.  It’s all done now, which is a big sigh of relief, and I even got feedback and a grade […]
