Miniature Jazz Mass At St. Peter’s Church, December 5th

Talk about out of the frying pan and into the fire… after an exhausting and rewarding 31 days of composing 31 Chorales I’ve begun composing a Miniature Jazz Mass for St. Peter’s Church, premiering on December 5th 2010. I say Miniature because, due to the short timeline, I’m forced to create a boiled-down version (to put it in perspective, some of the greatest composers in history spent years creating theirs.) Later on in my life I’d like to create a full-scale version, when I have the time and opportunity to fully actualize it.

Taking it to 11 – Meet Musician Tim Archer

My good friend Tim Archer recently took the plunge into setting up his own website. He’s an amazing guy who also plays bass/piano/trumpet, composes, produces and arranges music. He’s also totally hilarious and great to be around.

Tim recently arranged a few pieces of mine, including converting a currently unreleased single “Trickle” for classical guitarist Rupert Boyd into a dance/club remix. Wild stuff! You can check it out below and learn more about him:

Happy Birthday to me! (ps – no Chorale today)

I had every intention of composing Chorale #8 today, but my friends had very different plans for me… so it light of “extensive” birthday celebrations I’ll be continuing the project tomorrow. And now, back to my Birthday…

Farewell Montana…

Back in NYC after nine gorgeous weeks with the Alpine Theatre Project in beautiful Whitefish, Montana. I’m mostly hanging out and composing several new works for guitar and soprano saxophone, among other projects.
