Score to "Letters at Midnight" (1996)

Tue, 16 Jun 2009 17:56:06 -0800

While sorting through old backups and CDs to upload compositions, I came across some film music I wrote in the late 90's. This one is from a short film by Michael Walker, "Letters at Midnight (1996)". Here is the music:

Montage

Death Scene

End Credits

Portrait of an Artist II (1996)

Portrait of an Artist II

Flute & Computer-Realized Sounds, 9'14"
Amy Swanson, flute

This piece was written for a Amy Swanson's senior recital. A PDF of the score is available here.

Parting Tracks

Computer-Realized Sounds, 14'33"

This is another work from college, my second effort in CSound, rendered using a NeXT Cube.

Allusions (1995)

Allusions (1995)

Oboe & Computer-Realized Sounds, 11'59"
Stina Dragovich, oboe

I don't have an electronic copy of this score other than the original files stored on an ancient Powerbook 540c, in an antiquated file format -- Notewriter 2. The best I'm able to do for export is EPS, but then I have to deal with floppies ...

Uploading old college work

Sun, 07 Jun 2009 21:49:03 -0800

I am starting to upload music I wrote back in college. It's been a long time since I did any serious composition, and I'm not sure I'm going to get back into it. This is as good a start as any, though.

Waiting for cooperative weather

I'm in Montana this weekend the weather isn't cooperating for a shoot (blanket grey skies -- no texture or light). While I'm hoping it shifts, here are a couple of Montana shots from last Spring.

I'm spending some time on the road in the next month, so I should be posting some new images of Montana and Orlando. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite shots of my city, Seattle.

Finalist in Alaska Air Photo Contest

Since I'm starting over, I might as well start with something new.

One of my photos of Butte, Montana was a finalist in the Alaska Air inflight magazine's 2008 photo contest and appears in the current (May) issue.

Starting Over

Mon, 19 May 2008 17:35:57 -0800

This site has been up since 2002, but has mostly languished during the last six years. Instead of migrating content from the original CMS to the new software, I'm just starting over.

The site did contain a fair amount multimedia (music and video) that I've worked on here and there. I'll do my best to repopulate that as I go, but might not get to everything. If you're looking for something that used to be here, I've moved the original site here, though I don't guarantee that I'll keep it up there forever and will probably neuter the CMS at home point or another.
