We haz corn!

Tomorrow, Greg Williams premieres my "The Lower Tide Effect" for solo viola. At Queens College Copland School of Music. Come. Also, live stream: youtube.com/watch?v=O84bDW…

I don't get it. Pretty regularly when someone asks for help and I provide it (correctly), the reply is ignored -- even when incorrect responses get 'likes' or even replies. This happened twice yesterday. Anybody else experience this?

I love writing for folks I know. In September, I wrote "The Lower Tide Effect" for Greg Williams. He has kindly allowed me to present the live premiere on YouTube! Please listen, friends. This is what gives a composer (and an audience, I hope!) joy. youtube.com/watch?v=8jrWjq…

WaPo subscription canceled. Not that they'll care unless enough folks do it.

I don't have a Halloween-specific piece, but this one will do for today. youtube.com/watch?v=JBHFOG…

Finally had a piece performed in Iowa! (Goes with the political polls, I guess!) 16 states to go. You wanna play something of mine in OR ID WY ND SD UT CO AZ NM AK HI WV DE MD RI? Love to fill in the map while I'm still alive & clicking! Find scores here: maltedmedia.com/people/bathory…

The one use of AI for me would be to filter posts of "do you remember", "have you ever done/used/seen", "who watched/did/saw this", "do you know what this is", "who agrees/do you agree", "can you see me", "drop a 💙 if", and so on. The engagement farming is over the top.

MTG gonna be seckiterry of eddikashun, amirite?

These composer award thingies. Do people have to apply for them or do juries-to-the-gods just pluck them from an existing pool? (I wanna scream 'pick me!' but you know how that will go.)

Well, after 2 weeks I peeled off my heart monitor and sent it to the lab. Mortality report when it happens!

It's Giving Tuesday. So many causes are more important than mine, but I'd still be grateful for a small contribution. Thank you! gofundme.com/f/bring-the-ma…

It's a week after Giving Tuesday. Things have gone idle; everybody's stressed. But my "Winter" Symphony No. 4 project needs a boost. The fundraising page is updated to include a demo version of the music. Your gift would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! gofundme.com/f/bring-the-ma…
