At long last my fourth CD Fools and Angels is available. This is the product of many years' labor, and I am both proud and exhausted.


I have released the source code for my musical instrument/video game Beacons here. Give it a try!


The wonderful all-male Renaissance vocal group Gallicantus has released its CD Sibylla to excellent reviews. The disc features recordings of Lassus's Prophetiae Sibyllarum as well as a response to the piece form me and poet Jeff Dolven. Eliot Cole also has a beautiful piece on the CD.


The amazing Rudresh Mahanthappa and I are trying out our piece, Beacons, at Princeton on April 10 at Taplin auditorium. This is an improvisational piece for alto saxophone and geometrical laptop instrument. We are going to make a movie of it in May.


Nice review of Rube Goldberg Variations in Limelight magazine.
