May 5, 2012 - Working on Mazed Bedlam for String Quartet and Fixed-Media to be premiered in Pavia, Italy as part of the HIGHScore Festival. Additionally, continuing work on Sundog for the Ogni Suono Sax Duo. It is going to be a busy summer but that’s fine with me, it beats boredom.

April 17, 2012 - Leaving tomorrow morning for hear the premiere of of Shift in Las Vegas! If things go well, I’ll have a recording to put online. If it doesn’t go well then I’ll have had a great time in Vegas. Not a bad way to spend four days.

January 07, 2012 - A thousand thanks to Zack Penckofer and Yi-Wen Chen! Over the break, they recorded Scan in Foellinger Hall at the KCPA and the rough mix sounds incredible! Hopefully, a stereo version will be mastered in the next 6-8 weeks and the current plan is to also create a 5 channel surround-sound version as well.
