You high-falutin' guys with yer degrees and yer fancy knowledge... with yer tone rows and polyrhythms... yer alternate tunings and embedded sociopolitical commentaries... yer convolution reverbs and optical compressors... yer experimental notation and polytonality and mixed media and filter sweep automation... you all make me... jealous. Congrats, dude! |

That is so cool. I didn't do it because I didn't have the stamina. Congrats. |

Does this mean that you are now officially available for commissioned works? -s. |

That reminds me. Harmonium, which I belong to, commissions at least one work per year. We're having budget problems this coming year, but I believe we will manage to. I don't know how much lead time it involves. In any case, you might apply. We also hold a high school composition contest.

Thanks everyone! It was a cool day. Wynton Marsalis was the speaker, and he was great. Still not sure what's happening with LA. I've also been in contact with some other composers/directors/producers trying to line up additional work (on some big films!). I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again, everyone! |
