Tech rehearsal with ETHEL and Gibney Dance. For the piece, I created a tape part to “ghost” the live ensemble at certain moments. With the quartet performing to click, the “ghosts” emerge in synch with the ensemble. It’s working great. Free shows tomorrow and Saturday: http://www.gibneydance.org/company/performance-calendar.php

Day 2, assembling a new work with ETHEL & Gibney Dance. Two ensembles simultaneously pulling my music in different ways into three dimensions. Crazy feeling.

Music has emotional attachments, most likely not innate but based on conditioned associative relationships with emotional states, brought upon be social traditions, coincidences, and associative semantic content in context of relative even or circumstance. Your music like all music is expressing itself physically in the biological systems of others through sound waves which you have constructed. Do you feel a social responsibility for the effect your music has on it's audience?

The good man @rafiqbhatia in a tangle of pedals, generating textures for a new film score I’m working on. Last night I started mapping the audio to a keyboard, creating playable but unpredictable instruments to use in the writing process. One of the reasons I do this is to free myself up from compositional habits based on theory and the motor memory of my fingers. Sidestepping this bias helps me keep an intuitive response to sound central to my process. Mapping and experimenting with programming ahead of time also facilitates an instinctive workflow because it’s quicker than cutting up audio. #GeekTalk

Today I was in the studio with @krrrschmidt, sculpting more sounds for a new film score. Working with unfamiliar tools is a good way to surprise myself, which always seems to be a useful feeling.

Today I began in earnest on a new film score. Here’s engineer Eric Tate, setting up for a session with @thejonnyrodgers, recording tuned wine glasses. I’m developing a library of improvisations & various articulations, from which I’ll generate textures and virtual instruments for the score. Details on the incredible film TBA!

Shara Worden w/ the ISO, conducted by Edwin Outwater, in dress rehearsal for tonight’s performance of Sarah Kirkland Snider’s Penelope. I’ve oft prayed to The Lord that I’ll never have to follow this woman on a mic. Fortunately, my set is first. I put it in my rider. (at Hilbert Circle Theatre)

They’re doin it right over at the Newman Scoring Stage. I had the pleasure of attending an orchestra session for the upcoming Oblivion flick to see my homie Joe Trapanese in action at the helm of the giant ensemble. Got to meet his scoring partner & rockstar Anthony Gonzalez, whose early M83 records influenced me a lot when I began developing Son Lux.
