Those first hints of Autumn

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Well everyone, It’s been a long and interesting summer. I posted some of my reflections about my own travels and activities over on my blog. And there’s been quite a lot going on in the Avant Media world as well. In a few weeks we’ll be releasing Voices + Sine Waves (an announcement about the release date is coming very soon) – a collection of my short works as a digital download album. And in November we will be presenting Doleo Æternus in New York City in the Just Intonation World Premiere.

I’m going to do my best to be a little bit more active on the blog and to share with you all the rehearsal and creation process leading up to this major premiere. In the mean time, after the jump, a little bit of Billie. Jump »

Friday Afternoon Photo Edition

First up, a couple of interesting photo-based blogs i’ve recently come across that show lovely and interesting stuff:

  • OUT HERE OVER THERE
  • hrstudioplus – I particularly enjoyed this post about design.

    • And secondly for a little bit of shameless self-promotion, I’ve recently taken up photography with the delightfully lo-fi Holga camera, and I’m positing the results to my Flickr.

  • Randy Gibson’s top twelve photos on Flickr – some of these are going to become limited-edition prints, we’ll keep you updated.

    • Array

    A New Way of Looking at Dance

    Monday, April 6th, 2009

    My Friend Josephine posted this to her twitter today, and it has proved endlessly interesting.

  • Synchronous Objects

    • They have also posted an interesting blog post about using this as a teaching tool. Which is a big part of what I think is so interesting about it. So many people look at modern dance and don’t necessarily understand what is going on, maybe because there’s no story being told, it’s not narrative etc. A tool like this breaks down the dance into a series of themes and connections, which is what I, as a composer, find so intriguing about writing for dance.

    For those of you familiar with the protools, final cut model there is a beautiful score of the dance shown in real time that really delineates how this dance is working, and what exactly is going on.

    Some of my favorite places Not on our blogroll this week – a bit of fashion, a bit of food, a bit of humor, and a bit of politics:

  • The Sartorialist – fashion shots on the street from around the world
  • Always Hungry – just started reading this, but i’m a particular fan of the seasonal ingredients calendar
  • The “Blog” of “Unnecessary” quotation marks – entirely “self explanitory”
  • Princess Sparkle Pony – one of my favorite political blogs for its sheer obsessive spirit

    the Listicle edition

    My 5 favorite links from our Blogroll in no particular order:

  • Arts Journal – an amazing portal for arts related news and spectacular blogs by Kyle Gann, Greg Sandow and many more
  • Art Fag City – Paddy Johnson takes a consistently interesting slice of the NY art scene
  • Garfield minus Garfield – I had actually forgotten this was here and was entirely happy to see it once again, removing Garfield (the character) from Garfield (the comic strip) creates gloriously psychotic story lines that are way more compelling than the original
  • Eater – my first stop for everything restaurant and food related – they also have divisions in San Francisco and Los Angeles
  • Anthony Bourdain – consistently entertaining and often heartfelt and cutting at the same time, Bourdain’s blog is a great companion to my favorite food show

    The week in looking ahead.

    First off, wow to yesterday’s miraculous plane landing on the Hudson, and to the incredible Chesley Sullenberger.

    Looking ahead to the Obama administration in only 4 days!

  • The always inspiring Alice Waters wrote an open letter and it’s finally been published at Gourmet
  • Shepard Fairey figured he couldn’t work in an official capacity with the campaign, I think it turned out pretty well. He was on Colbert last night.
  • Everyone’s getting in on Obamamania via Eater.
  • And finally, Princess Sparkle Pony chronicles the Shoe Art Renaissance. – bonus, she is also the creator of the Bill Richardson Facial Hair Alert System.

    The week in things made out of food which shouldn’t be made out of food at all.

  • Grace Jones cast in Chocolate on CR Blog simply fantastic.
  • Chanel and Louis Vuitton accessories made from Beef Jerky at Urlesque

    Hot Karl

    Hot Karl

    I never got around to posting links last week – we were performing Doleo Æternus at the ISIM conference and it was completely insane.

    There is a Flickr gallery of images we took during our trip to Denver here and more coverage will be coming as we get images from the ISIM and finalize a recording for your listening pleasure.

    In the meantime – here are this weeks sporadic and miscellaneous links:

  • Hot Karl action on Racked Racked is hosting a Karl Lagerfeld photoshop contest. It is epic and fantastic.
  • Mike Rugnetta’s YouTube page has tons of interesting videos Mike and Patrick have made
  • Michael Wiltbank’s stunning photo project was censored by BYU – it is a fantastic idea with beautiful pictures [via]
