Blind Watchmaker & More
Alright. So the last month has been a bit busy to say the least!
First, I finished up a new track with Khoral. The piece is called Blind Watchmaker and as the title suggests, it was an exploration in random variation. Various tone generators were given sets of parameters in which they could operate (key, scale, time, frequency, etc....) and then switched on and let run. The captured output was merely placed within a timeline. No other manipulation took place. Khoral had two roles in the making of the song: spoken recitation of passages from one of his books, and first take vocal improvisations (singing). If interested in hearing it, you can find it here:

For more information and to see what others are saying about this track head over to my companion site : chimplogic . em411 . com. There are a couple of other projects I'm working on that involve Khoral which I will be explaining in greater detail very soon. Stay tuned.
Next up, the debut of Joan Nicholas-Walker's modern dance performance, Mental Picture, went phenomenal. The auditorium in Greensboro was standing room only! This performance is now continuing its tour as part of the North Carolina Dance Festival. My original score Satiate provides the soundscape for this amazing performance. The next showing will take place here : Valborg Theater @ Appalachian State University | October 5 | Boone, NC.
Then, in hopes of releasing my first free EP next month, I have been busy creating high-res graphics for those who purchase CD quality download. I have also been learning more about the services that PayPal provides to merchants such as myself when dealing with downloads rather than physical merchandise. Oh yes, and let us not forget about the hours of research I have been doing on modern dance companies and independent labels to whom I can submit my work. If anyone has any suggestions, I would love to hear from you : Send me an email.
Finally, in true geek form, I have been teaching myself better web design techniques. So, I rebooted both my Chimp Logic site and Joan Nicholas-Walker's site in full compliance with CSS and XHTML web standards rather than relying on table formatting. If all that sounds g(r)eek to you, I apologize, just know that our sites are now more consistent across browsers/platforms and have greater accessibility.
Well, that's about it for now. Rest assured I'll be busy with more fun stuff this upcoming month!
Thanks for reading.
Peace
