I am Sitting in an Airport
(insert Lucier joke here)
Anyhow, I am off to Conference Country USA (San Antonio) for the big CMS/SCI shootout. My solo piano piece was selected for a CD project and the program for the CD is being done at one of the concerts. Plus, since I have a shiny new faculty gig I thought it would be a good thing to make some contacts with the academic world at large. I'll spend most of my time in the ATMI (Association for Technology in Music Instruction) room.
Music tech is the "money" side of my job. That means that it is the side of the job they pay me for. Any of the composition stuff I do I would pretty much do for free. But don't let that circulate too much, okay? It will be our little secret.
I'm creating the final versions of my miniatures. Now that I have Logic I can retool all those Garageband files that I made. I only hope the music sounds better that way. Sometimes the best stuff is the cheap/free stuff.
Anyhow, it is time to board.
