This is WILD. I wrote this almost 20 years ago and it's gone quasi-viral in the last couple of years. The YouTube video has half a million views!

If you're in Baltimore tomorrow (10th) at Enoch Pratt Library on Cathedral@6:30 pm, my students are performing a live score that they composed for an amazing silent, black-and-white, 1928 French expressionist adaptation of E.A.Poe's 'Fall of the House of Usher'--and it's FREE!

There's a new VICE article on @brekfest's Storm Alert theme, and it's extra fun because they are clearly mistaking me for someone else 😅 vice.com/en/article/88xkqk/i…

I spoke to the wonderful @brekfest on the Weather Report Storm Alert track he wrote ages ago, and recently rediscovered celebrated by the internet. A nice, wholesome story to start your week off right. Give the piece a read, and the song a listen! A real banger.

I have never played KH, and wasn't even AWARE of it's existence back then, but have listened to that music a lot in the last few years. At the time, I listened to a lot of Star Wars and jazz/fusion and played games like Medal of Honor and Fable.

As a staff composer, we rarely get public credit or acknowledgement for our work, so it's been heartwarming to see people enthusiastic about this piece! If you haven't already, check out some of the remixes uploaded to you tube... They are so much better than the original!

Yesterday I heard that a purpose of music theory in college is to develop quantitative skills. In other words, it could fulfill the same role of math coursework. Did I just miss the memo and this is obvious to everyone, cause it kind of blew my mind?

Seems like spelling this out more often could reduce the antagonistic attitude that some have towards the subject. At the same time, it would mean that schools have less of an excuse to not incorporate a wider range of works, traditions and styles under that umbrella.

Gambling. I swear I'm not a prude, but the normalization of sports betting is a fucking shitty thing.

In which ChatGPT learns how to tell a joke...
I recently attended a live to picture performance of Harry Potter by the BSO. Before the show, the audience was encouraged to boo and cheer throughout. When JKR's name came up during the credits I booed. It was like shouting "O" during the national anthem outside of Baltimore.

Anyway, Impact Soundworks and Cinematic Studio Series make some great sample libraries.

After a brief period of time as a trope in media, quicksand is an obvious answer for my generation. At the same time, sand holes turn out to be more of a threat at the beach than sharks. cbsnews.com/news/sand-more-d…
Name something that seemed overwhelmingly scary to you as a kid that turned out not to be relevant to your adulthood. Mine was the Bermuda Triangle.
