something about me
I've been in Edinburgh for a six days now. I'm staying in student housing, part of the University of Edinburgh. There is a laundry station and a student gym close by. Our LSU performance group has taken up 3 flats of the dormitory. As it should be, we hangout in the cooking area, cooking, [...]
I can’t believe it. Highland Coffees is closing. Since 2005, it’s been my home away from home. I’ve probably spent more hours at Highland Coffees than any other place in Baton Rouge. I’ve often joked that I’ve probably spent the equivalent of a barista’s LSU tuition there. I’ve blogged about the place. I’ve ordered their [...]

I will be attending The Prospectives International Festival of Digital Art October 18-19. My fixed media piece Wait will be performed at the Fleischmann Planetarium and Science Center.
I've been included in 225 Magazine's 2012 People to Watch. I'm humbled to be in included with all the others recognized. I hope this brings further opportunities for my music. [Link to the Article]
What a year - 2011. So many things happened. Lots of a good things. Some sad things. Last year I had performances over 20- some performances in 7 different states. My sister had the first child from our generation - I became an uncle. My grandfather died. “This is the one I esteem: He who is [...]
I just got back from the Electroacoustic Barn Dance in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The festival was October 27-29 at the University of Mary Washington school of music. I had my piece Wait performed and delivered a paper on GUA with J. Corey Knoll and Jeff Albert. There was a bunch of good music and a growing [...]
