sleuthing time signatures
The Terminator score was born from a quantizing accident. I know several people who would have conniptions about that, but I think it's pretty funny. Challenge accepted, I figured the meter to be 9/8 + 2/4.
Twinkling Stars
Details to follow, probably in several months, but a composition of mine won a competition and will be included in an international collection of piano variations on "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star." I am really excited and looking forward to the completed project! Mozart covered this territory with "Ah! Vous Dirais-je, Maman" and it's well worth a revisit.
Old Stomping Grounds
It's always nice to go back to the UW and wander around like a dazed undergrad, without the dazedness. Today I even wandered into Brechemin Auditorium and audited a jazz history class, where I heard more about sweet, hot, big bands that got that swing.
I had a key to this back door while preparing for my junior recital. It looks much different in the dark!
The art building across the way looks much like the music building it's being viewed from.
En route to the music building from McMahon Hall, or 65th Street.
Pitch Perfect
I have very good relative pitch, but it's not perfect. From what I understand about the torture perfect pitch can inflict on people who have it, this could be more a blessing than not.
We're up all night to get philosophical
Look who's on IMDb
Well, what do you know... I exist on the Internet Movie Database.
