I’ve played extensively in the Middletown, CT new music scene.<\/a> Ok, so I nearly fell over laughing at that phrase, but no disrepect to anyone. We do have a lot of new music around here, I just would never have thought to call it a scene. Only because I’m a big-city centric elitist. I would have called it the Wesleyan new music scene, personally, but not everything that happens is part of the university.<\/p>\n

Speaking of education, when I last spoke with my advisor, he was pessimistic about getting my book published. However, O’Reilley published a book on Hacking Legos<\/a>, so I have a bit more hope. He also pointed out that my thesis comittee wouldn’t actually understand my project and told me I would need to create some pedagological pieces in the style of David Tudor’s electronic works, like Run Through<\/em>. So I popped in my CD of such musics and it was just evily irritating. I don’t want to write ensemble pieces for computer and certainly not like Tudor’s “i’m too good for analog synthesis” stuff.
\nI could also abandon my plans and just write program notes for all the pieces I’ve already written and that would count as a thesis. I’m just a composer, after all. It may be that everyone would rather I would just do that. It may not be. I’m clueless.<\/p>\n
