It’s been a while since I wrote last. I did not get to go to New York yet. I still really want to go and se Doctor Atomic. However, things are going really good with my compositions. I got asked a week and a half ago to compose some music for a promotional trailer to a film about the heating oil crisis in Maine. The man putting the film together is Tom Jackson. One of the women working with him went to UMF, and heard some music I did for another film, and asked if I would be interested in helping them out. So, with a two week deadline, I composed a piece, one version one minute long and another that was two minutes long. I got a group of friends and professors together and we recorded the piece this afternoon, and I am mastering it right now. The one minute piece came out at 1:35, and the two minute came out at 3:23. Either Sibelius was 50% off, or we were 50% slow. I blame sibelius. Anyway, they’re finished, and I hope to give you a link to view the trailer when it’s completed.
My favorite piece to date is almost finished. The posthuman piano sonata is becoming three separate piano pieces, and the second one is amazing. It’s these shifting, swelling, echoing chords. It should be finished soon.
