“Waveformations” @ SEAMUS 2010

I just received word that my piece Waveformations will be on the headphone concert at the SEAMUS conference this year. I’m not sure, but according to the email I received, it looks like there will be two performances of the concert – one on Thursday, April 8th and one on Friday, April 9th, both at 10:00pm. I’m looking forward to the headphone concert idea, it’s not something I’ve been a part of before. If you’re planning to attend, the organizers ask that you bring your own headphones.

By the way, if you’re interested, you can check out the original album that Waveformations was released on. It’s from Wandering Ear, a netlabel releasing primarily field-recording and phonographic works. All of the tracks are reconstructions of an earlier Wandering Ear release, made of field recordings from Minnesota. My friend and collaborator David Collins also has a track there, which you should definitely check out.

New RadioGamelan Page

On the eve of my second semester of grad school, I’ve created a page for the second of the pieces completed over break, RadioGamelan. The piece is for networked laptops, and is a blast to play. I plan on posting the software score (made in Max/MSP, using OSC to communicate over wi-fi), as well as a recording which will be released on Petcord in March, 2010.

The new release will be made up of improvisations and compositions performed by the trio of David Collins, Steve Schlei, and myself.

Pretty restrained and/or atmospheric.

Here are two recordings of improvisations by David Collins and myself.

Recordings were made on a Tascam DR-07, with just a tiny bit of EQ after the fact.
