So the Blog has been dormant and I apologize, but that is because there is some big news to share.
I am excited to announce the launch of Calgary's newest New Music Ensemble, we are flying under the name "Timepoint ensemble" (one of everyone's favorite max objects.) Our first concert is this month! October 27th at the Cathedral Church of the Redeemer, 7:30PM, $10 at the door. So check it out, also slap a like on our facebook page.

Back
Hey everyone
So briefly since I have been absent so long I recently won a job with the Saskatoon Symphony and moved back to Calgary. In addition I am currently working with some great people and founding a new ensemble in Calgary, so time has been sparse for writing with time spent teaching, working, and planning.
I am back though, not sure how heavily I will post and to what end. Watch for a post in the coming weeks until then. Play some scales and make some strange sounds.

Dear blog world
Hello blog world.
Life happens, and it happens fast. Major changes have been happening which led to my lengthy time away from writing here. I will be back in September. Until then thanks for your patience and I will be back soon.

Things in the works!
Exciting things coming up, I am currently working on the Pendercki Sextet, this should be a blast. Collaborating with players I worked with recently on the Koetsier piece for Wagner tuba and string quartet, check out a recording of that performance here.
As well I am super excited to be performing Terry Riley's "in C" with Third Coast Percussion in Chicago at Millennium Park, details on that can be found here.
Aside from that have some writing coming out soon.
Check out my recent recordings @ Soundcloud and Youtube.
Chat again soon!

New Video Up
Hey again,
So today I am super super excited to announce the release of the premiere performance of "a cold surrogate, a penance play" by Jordan Kusel. This was a wild work to learn, took a great amount of time and willingness to learn this piece. Pieces like this that circumvent the traditions have always fascinated me. More on that later, here is the video.
Yup that's what I got to say today, if you watch this and it makes you feel things, good, bad, strange, scary, uncomfortable, whatever let me know drop a comment.

New recordings
Hello loyal readers
I am going to be uploading recordings over the next month or so from this year. I will post them all here, and on other social media outlets. Here is the first!
This was a great piece to get to work on and perform, Leilei Tian's music is super interesting I could go on about it but, hey, let's let it speak for itself.
Leave a comment, hit the +1, subscribe,
Let me know you are out there.
Happy sound making!

Addendum to article in the horn call
Hello faithful readers... reader...silence?
If you may have noticed I had an article appear in the Horn Call, the journal of the international horn society. There is mention of some "examples" that seem to not be in the printed publication so, I submit for the approval of the midnight society, those said examples.
I should also be releasing soon a recording of the premiere performance of the work by Jordan Kusel that is spoken about in the article soon.
Example 2
