Bourge mention - CORRECTION!
Wow, I just found out that my video collaboration, Carnival Daring-Do, got "recognition" at the Bourge Festival! How cool is that?
I'll tell you: pretty f-in' cool. That's right. I said "f-in'"
Here be the link for all you doubters. (scroll all the way to the bottom, the multimedia category is last)
Also, mad propz go to Jason Bolte and his fine, fine, fine piece Scrap Metal which is, I think, the greatest piece for piano and tape since Davidovsky. He basically does what Davidovsky did, only in a much more current and expressive language. Check it out.
UPDATE: I misblogged about "honorable mention" before. My work did not get "honorable mention" at Bourge, it received "recognition" which, while a step below honorable mention, is still pretty sweet. Of all the multimedia entries there was one winner, 2 honorable mentions, and 2 recognitions. Being in the top 5 at Bourge is still, in my book, rather f-in' cool.
