Current Projects…
Just a quick update since things have been quiet here. A couple things are in the works…
- I started accordion lessons with William Schimmel in January and have been have a great time working on all sorts of new things with him. He’s been pushing my boundaries in areas where I am not so comfortable, which is great. I’m really looking forward to some new creativity coming out of this.
- In April I’m starting a collaboration with my cousin-in-law, post-metal guitarist Ben Kaplan. We will be creating some new material for some performances this summer. We will be processing his guitar and my accordion electronically, starting with long rich timbres that exist outside of the time and rhythm of traditional music, and then seeing where it takes us. Stay tuned for updates and samples as we get into this project in April and May.
- I’ve been thinking about my John Brown Opera project again this spring and am hoping to carve out time to get back into some libretto construction work on it as well. Not sure where it’s going but it still holds a fascination for me so I owe it to myself to keep it simmering.
- As soon as I can figure out the new version of Final Cut Pro X, I’ll put together videos from my last concert for you all to check out too. Stay tuned…
- Finally, listen to a live recording of my latest piece, Extending Tendrils, in the Music Player in the right column. The recording is from a performance last September by the Avian Orchestra here in NYC.
Thanks for your interest! Hope to see you at a performance soon!
NY Times review of performance of Terry Riley’s IN C
| July 4, 2011 |
This past weekend I had the great honor of playing accordion with a mixed chamber orchestra performing Terry Riley’s IN C as part of the Rite of Summer concert series on Governor’s Island. We put on two great performances and got a very nice write up in the NY TImes. See the link below for the review, in which I was very pleased to see my accordion playing mentioned. Special thanks to Blair McMillen for organizing this and bringing me on board! Rite Of Summer IN C NY Times Review
John Brown Opera Project: Purged By Blood
The John Brown Cycle (2005, 20′) for soprano, tenor, bass/baritone w/ piano or chamber ensemble is preview excerpt from Peter Flint’s forthcoming opera about the abolitionist John Brown. Purged By Blood: an internet opera will be released in serialized form starting in 2012.
Ten-Thirteenths
A short piece for tenor saxophone and piano, originally written for and premiered by Andrew Sterman in 2005. Recorded by Andrew and Mick Rossi, piano at Sear Sound, NYC, 2007. It was intended as concert opener, but works great anywhere on a program. Score and parts available for purchase. (Use the Contact link at the top right of the page.)
Ten-Thirteenths is, for a limited time, a free download, available through the links below. A gift to the fans! (Click the “I” below to download.)
