In the meantime, the weather is SO fall now! The leaves are changing colors in Portland, and it is SO pretty. This is the music that I wrote today, sort of inspired by the change in weather:
I'm so excited to be headed on tour next week with Cappelle Romana. We will be performing at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. This is such a unique opportunity. You can see more info about the tour here. And I will be posting pictures here, too! In the meantime, the weather is SO fall now! The leaves are changing colors in Portland, and it is SO pretty.

Here's a couple pictures from that event:

My studio is located in a pretty urban neighborhood, right on the corner of a fairly busy street. Behind the studio is a tire shop with constant drilling sounds, and across the street is a lumber yard with people loading lumber onto trucks all day and general mayhem. As if that isn't crazy enough, there are 2 major construction projects in process within a block of the studio, including one right outside my window. As you can imagine, all this noise tends to make its way into the recordings I make. (It's not big deal, my studio is more of a lesson studio and classroom than a recording studio.) Today I decided I would embrace a bit of the noise I'm hearing on a regular basis. I walked right up the fence of the construction sites nearby and sampled a few sounds. So here is a little piece using sampled construction sounds. Welcome to my world...! I was traveling last week and realized that I encounter so many interesting sounds while in the airport and on the plane. I pulled out my iPhone a couple times just to record the sounds I was hearing on an airport shuttle and also on the airplane as it was taking off. Once I uploaded them to my computer, I thought I would try tearing the sounds apart a little and manipulating them. So here's my first experiment with that. And here's a little musical reflection I wrote as well, via some electronic media. |
