Let it be known that the five composers of the “Sleeping Giant” collec­tive couldn’t pull it together to do an actual group photo, so I had to draw the cari­ca­tures you see above. Our next concert is fast approach­ing; Monday, October 11 (mark your iCals!) at Le Poisson Rouge. My own contri­bu­tion will be the New York première of Clamber Music, performed by stal­warts Owen Dalby and Tema Watstein.

I wrote my first lick of vocal music in five years today. Not sure exactly what’s taken me so long. More about this soon, along­side other things worth knowing.
