The Walden School, the cello piece, and more
I’m back in New York after an exhausting summer teaching composition, musicianship, and computer musicianship at the Walden School. I had the great fortune to work with some especially talented young composers this year in each of my classes. I’m excited to see where these people will go in their lives and their careers.
Due to some last-minute changes my cello piece, the language of, was premiered by none other than Dave Eggar, my very favorite cellist. He played the hell out of it, and is incorporating it into his repertoire. Listen for it next at his show at the Stone on October 3rd.
I’m at work on some exciting projects. In the works are more just intonation string pieces, and a work for recorder and live electronics commissioned by Terri Hron. Glissando bin Laden and his Musichideen will be performing late October with all new material and our newest member, bass clarinetist Meighan Stoops.
