This is a video of the Steampunk Lite recording session. Thanks Ben Duinker for doing the editing (and performing of course). Those text transitions at the end are fun.

Expanded Performance Trio in Belgium

The Expanded Performance Trio is on the road again. This time, Ghent - Belgium.  Our performances, presentations and talks have gone well. ORCiM has been great so far. It's amazing to participate, and learn about creative research projects from other countries and institutions.

Hugh Le Caine Award

It was excited to find out I won the Hugh Le Caine SOCAN award. Canada is so lucky to have this. I have to go pick up my giant novelty cheque at the socan office in the next few days. It will be nice to meet some of the other winners.

Thank you Parker Bert for the commission, and Ben Duinker for taking the time to record Steampunk [lite].

I'll upload the studio version ASAP.

 

Performance at EMS

June 17th, 2011 at 10:49 am EDT - permalink

 

The EP Trio is on the road again. I’m sitting in a conference room in NYU.  We had a successful performance at EMS last night.  Some of the pieces were fantastic. There were a few familiar faces from NIME, but generally, the differences between the conferences is quite large. EMS is far less concerned with technology, and more oriented towards composition and aesthetics.  New York culture is quite different as well.   It flows out of the concert spaces, and into the works.

I keep hearing the term “Second Generation” referring to young composers who are moving away from established models of EA and live electronic music. Interesting. I thought there were a few more generations than one, but we’ll see if this term catches on.

 

NIME 2011b

The EPT is back from OSLO. Our project presentation and concert were well received. I met a lot of talented, creative people working on some amazing projects. Some of the concerts were inspiring, as there are so many different ways to perform music on new technology. I am very lucky to be studying in such an interesting field. Oslo is a beautiful city and the people there were very friendly. Next stop, EMS in NY.
