– I need to tell you about a delicious new EP from Hannah Read & co. It’s filled with secrets.
– I’m playing records at the UVic Visual Arts spring party, SPRUNG, on the 8th, from around 10 to midnight. If it is half as good as their Halloween party, it will be amazing.
– Ran some scripts for the paper I’m working on for ISMIR. It’s about timbral similarity in DJ sets, and there might actually be some good things in the data.
– I wrote a bunch of music: finished FIVE ROOMS FOR SOLO FLUTE, for my friend Sara Page, drafted the gestural percussion thing I am working on, and sketched out the introduction for TORNADO SONGS. So much more to do.

This one (dancey house, post-dubstep, etc) only took me about a billion takes to get right. Art is by Caryn Kesler, who is evidentally brilliant.
Oakley Low and I, better known as ITERATE, are playing at Cloud Sounds, doing our live / ambient thing, on Thursday, February 23rd, at the Fort Street Cafe. Come on down and get deep.

I’ve been wanting to make this mix for at least five years now – Chris Cowie and his nine billions aliases helped define trance & techno for me. This is well on the techy side.

Hello! I am delighted to announce that the chiptune classical vs. spoken word Shakespeare time bomb that is TH TMPST is finished. You can check it below or at the above link.
Many thanks to Heather Harker, William Reggler, Iain Gillis, and Kira Hall for lending their voices to this project. I am, as always, in their debt.
Hey, internet! I’m turning my Facebook account off for at least two months, as of January 7th. If you want to get in touch with me (and I sure hope that you do!), I’m at:

Robyn made it, Erato brought it back, two of my friends have covered the cover…but I don’t think that anyone’s done a ten-part a capella edit frenzy version of the mighty ‘Call Your Girlfriend’ quiet yet.
Until now:
Vox are by Tasha Faravar, Aisling Ryan-Aylward, Alexis Ramsdale, Amy Wood, Cassandra Lemoine, Mary-Ellen Rayner, Julie Nadalini, Lindsay Suddaby, Marlee Wetter, and Danielle Sosnowski. They are all wonderful, are all incredibly talented, and I am in their debt.
It would appear that all I do now that I’m done school is finish projects and post them. That’s…pretty true, actually.
ELEVEN is a series of miniatures, kind of blatantly stolen from Max Richter’s 24 Postcards In Full Color. My wise and munificent photographer freidn Gerald was kind enough to give me access to his various photostreams, which I then turned in to music. I / we hope you like them.
