2011 Shenanigans

Happy New Year (with hopes you're not still reading this message in April)!

Lots of awesome stuff coming up. Some highlights:

• I'm presenting at the SABRe Symposium in Zurich, Feb 3-4. Will be demonstrating homebrew bass clarinet amplification techniques, premiering a solo work, and premiering an ensemble work with the other attendees. Time to finish writing them both!
• My graduation recital promises to be a... well, it promises to be something indeed! All sorts of awesome plans for it, hopefully they all come together.
• I'm on track to finish my Masters in May. After that, who knows!!
• The Audio Destructinators will resume activities shortly, after a period of dormancy due to positive busy-ness of members. Watch for us!
• The Contrabass Clarinet Commissioning Project had a greatly successful premiere, and so I'm making it a regular occurrence. Watch for two events per year, details forthcoming. If you're interested in writing for the instrument, drop me a line!
• I've been invited to present at Clarinetfest 2011 in Los Angeles this August. I'll be giving a lecture/workshop (bring your instruments!) on VERY extended clarinet techniques. This might get a bit raunchy!

Plus a bunch of stuff that's simmering and/or still hypothetical at the moment.
