I took 5 Style Fit Signo pen refills and made a DIY 5 line staff pen. Super easy to assemble and really handy. I say "um" and "you know" too much apparently.
I've joined the Winter 2015 production of Aristophanes' "Ἐκκλησιάζουσαι" (The Congressladies) as Musical Director at UC Santa Cruz Theater Arts. Directed by Danny Scheie and adapted from the 391BC ancient Greek play by Mary-Kay Gamel. It's a comedy and I'm very excited to be a part of the production. Read more here.
My personal artistic goals are clear for next year: Make the god damned records and write the god damned music you constantly think about doing, but never wind up doing.
The musical goals for 2015:
1. Expand on the music already written for Hamlet and Saying Emily, and make fully-arranged recordings of them. Produce album and release.
2. Begin arranging the works for the Art Song Project. Details to what that is I'll write about later.
3. Write and record new songs for the band.
4. Begin writing solo material for a new record.
