Before I get hitched…

// June 3rd, 2009 // environment, field recordings, personal, running, technology

The results are in: 100+ miles and almost 20 lbs. long gone. My running escapades went so well I had to tone it down in the interest of my tux measurements for the wedding. I intend to strap on the running shoes again later this month.
I am extremely happy to see that my old friend and former running mate Bill Pasutti has (definitely) continued running since our high school days. To mark his first half-ironman, he is raising funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). The fight against cancer is a subject close in my mind, and many others’. Please support this worthy cause by visiting this link.

On the musical front, I’m making great use of my self-made contact mics, as well as my new hydrophone. My take only audio, leave only footprints attitude to my surroundings yields a number of field recordings that will find their way into many upcoming projects. The first work will be a sonata that clocks in under 100 seconds, to be premiered this fall by Griffin Campbell and Mike Straus. A few other projects are on the horizon as I prepare to leave Virginia.

(To further actuate my musical/environmental interests, I have joined Ear to the Earth and hope to become more active in this wonderful community).

For now, I begin a quasi-hiatus. After all, only a few days from now

I WILL BE GETTING MARRIED!!!

New Kicks

// March 4th, 2009 // personal, running, technology

For a few, too many years, I have dreamt of running again. I received new running shoes for my birthday. (They’re high tech, syncing to my nano for a full report of the day’s workout). This, along with there being until my wedding, means it is more likely that I will get back to it. Perhaps by posting this, I’m bound to some ethical agreement in taking this healthier step in life. I don’t anticipate reaching my old record(s), still, it is an obligation I hope to take seriously. For now, back to my writing and preparation for midterms.

N.B., my camera has officially died. For now, photos like the one above (for flickr and otherwise) will come from my cell phone.
