Christmas With Bessie Video

Here is the video that I shot at Christmas With Bessie. It is not complete, some of the performances were left out because of space on my Flip and just plain forgetfulness. Enjoy!

Here's a midi mock-up of a piece I was working on this quarter. I called it For Charles Mingus since I was inspired by the Town Hall Concert album when I started to write it. I'm hoping to get it played live at the Composer's Forum at school next quarter.

Dead Air Trio: the final installment

Here's the final installment of the second set at J. Michael Walker's studio. Gets a little more active, with some great trumpet to open up the first couple of minutes. There's some faux-bass by me about 1/2 way through and Brian picks things up as well.  A good end to the set.

LA New Music Website

I've created a new site where I'm trying to post concerts, news, etc. for LA contemporary classical, jazz, improvisation, electronic. You can join and post your own events, music, videos etc. I've posted a bunch of stuff already, but it would be great if other people wanted to make their own contributions. I've also set up a Twitter feed for it. Check it out and let me know what you think!

Dead Air Trio: 2nd Set at J. Michael Walker's Studio, part 3 of 4

Here's part 3! Starts real slow and quiet, lots of other voices in it too. Compelling footage of me rummaging around in my bag. Cool muted stuff by Dan at the end. This really was background music.
