Two Thousand and Seven

I blinked and suddenly another year has gone by.

Crazy.

I think I did a lot of cool stuff over the last year - collaborating with some great people here in the states and abroad, scoring a good number of dance pieces, joining the Immediate Theatre Collective and pushing myself improvisationally performance-wise, invited to join the Board of Directors for the North Carolina Dance Alliance, starting my freelance/small design business, et al.

I have some more plans for this upcoming year which will include creating a new promo package for my dance scoring work so I can approach a broader range of companies/choreographers, finishing up an album of electro-acoustic music based around a series of dreams, working on some more collaborative material with other artists interested in teaming up with me, increasing my design business, incubating an inter/multi-media company with a photographer and video sculptor I have been working with recently, taking piano lessons, taking trumpet lessons (see below), to keep coming here and exchanging such good dialogue with you fine people, and much more ...

So, (from above) my lovely girl bought me a trumpet for my birfday. How cool is that? I used to play trumpet (for 10 years when I was a wee lad) and have missed it ever since I sold it (a long story, but funny, and ironic considering I sold my trumpet back then to buy a bass - Ha Ha). So I am looking forward to getting my chops back up in that regard and pushing my musical output to another level/place.

I also intend on blogging more frequently. Once a month just doesn't seem right anymore. I'll try my best to keep the posts interesting and enlightening. As they say, I'll try to share 'something you DON'T know'. :-)

Oh yeah, if anyone is interested, here is a web painting I did recently with a great friend of mine David Colagiovanni - the video sculptor I spoke of earlier. We are creating more of these web paintings and will share them here as they are completed.

Yeah. It should be a fun year I think.

Thanks everyone for reading. Keep in touch and here is to another great year!
