-I am very excited
to say that I have been hired by the Oberlin
Conservatory of Music starting this fall!
I will
be an Assistant Professor in the TIMARA department,
joining Tom
Lopez and Peter
Swendsen. Before that, we will be spending
the summer in Buenos Aires - lots of moving to do this summer!
-Saxophonist
Michael Straus will
be touring with my newest work, FeXIV (Iron Fourteen). He commissioned
this piece for his "What
Are You Looking At?" tour, involving pieces for saxophone,
electronics, and video.

upcoming speaking engagements, both in conjunction with performances
by Sebastian Berweck:

Niente New Music, for Elsewhere
in a Negative Mirror, Part I.

-German pianist
Sebastian Berweck will
be taking my piece Elsewhere is a Negative
Mirror, Part I,
on his US tour later this year.
-The Visual
Music Marathon at Northeastern was a great success, and lead to a number
of interesting opportunities for Graveshift, such as the showing at
SIGGRAPH and a mention in Animation
World Magazine (with a short excerpt posted).
-Alex Ross, the
music critic for the New Yorker, recently gave
props to
The Composer
Next Door (on which I was featured).
