On October 14, I’ll be participating in a distributed performance with musicians around the world, via Skype, in a performance of All Over by composer/percussionist/technologist/professor Joe Pignato. Right now, you’ll need to be in NY to experience it in realtime (that may change), but it will be archived on the web. More info coming soon!

October 6-8 will be the premier of my latest, Forth and Back, a setting of the poem by Felip Costaglioli (with whom I’ve collaborated for over a decade). It will be performed by Zeitgeist and soprano Carrie Henneman Shaw.

I just returned from the most wonderful Kyma International Sound Symposium (KISS2011), held at the Casa da Música in Porto, Portugal. I premiered a new piece (Orrery for Casa da Música), and gave a lecture-demonstration of ecosystemic programming approaches to interactive composition (Sonic Ecologies, Mobiles and Orreries: Generating Interactive and Autonomous Behavior in Kyma).

On June 24, I’ll be performing at the Twin Cities Jazz Festival with Viv Corringham and members of Zeitgeist. It is part of the Free at Studio Z, a new venue this year for the Jazz Festival.

I was recently awarded the Bruce and Dee Pearson Faculty Excellence Award at St. Cloud State University, apparently for being excellent. Excellent!

In February, I hosted a visit to Minnesota by the ensemble rarescale. This awesome duo gave masterclasses and presented a concert including a new version of Lovely Little Monster (for 1/4 tone alto flute and electronics). Following rarescale’s visit, I’m now planning a fall visit to London to premier a new piece for the ensemble, do some recording and lecture on the stuff I do to sound.

Also in February, I did an interview with Solange Guillaume about composing and performing electroacoustic music, which can heard here:

This spring, percussionist Patti Cudd could be heard performing Pure Pleasure as part of a tour she did with Cort Lippe and Jeff Herriot.
