Wow. Have I been on a tear ...

I've added a new single in the projects section. It's a solo performance of Terry Riley's In C, which actually requires many more than one player. And yes, I'm being clever by calling a 26-minute, one-track project a "single".

I didn't realize I'd have another project up so quickly, but I spent this past weekend transcribing the rest of a string quartet I wrote before I started college. I supplemented it with the previously mentioned "Palomino" and Three Prayers in Irish Gaelic, a vocal work I wrote in my senior year of college.

This new EP is titled 「学生」 (Gakusei), which means "student" in Japanese.

I've created a new album in the projects section for the most recent demos, and the title is 「健忘症」, or Kenboushou, which means "amnesia" in Japanese.

A long while back, I posted a new MP3 on Metafilter Music and MySpace. It's a "reimagining" of a Duran Duran song titled "Palomino". Fans seem to like this song, but I hate it. So I took the lyrics and wrote a choir piece out of it. Did it give me new insight into the original? No, I still think it's one of Duran Duran's worst songs.

A few weeks back, I carved out some time to write some lyrics, which I promised to do before I wrote the music for the next Eponymous 4 project. I have about 16 or so lyrics, and I've already written music for six 11 12 of them. I don't have the new work listed in the projects section yet, so I'll list them here. My gimmick: use Japanese titles instead of English. Oddly enough, the music itself is leaning toward country. They're now part of the project titled 「健忘症」.
