I don’t always post about it, but I am one of the hosts of the weekly public radio program Music from Other Minds. The shows airs every Friday night at 11pm (PST) on KALW 91.7 FM San Francisco, and is then available to stream online afterwards.

I hosted last night’s show, which was a preview episode for the upcoming festival, and Michael Gordon joined me for the episode. You can listen to that here.

I turned another year older, officially. So that happened.

And lastly, I spent the end of December in Florida. It was wonderful. Pics below.

Ah! It has been two months. Definitely due for an update.

I’ve been lax about posting recordings from past performances, so here are some to catch us all up. And if that’s not enough, be sure to check out the newly renovated Events page for upcoming events and some media from old ones.

Lastly, I’m very excited to have written a new score to D. W. Griffith’s 1912 silent film, The Female of the Species. Come check out the Balboa Theater on Nov. 12 to see it performed lived with the film.

Plenty of things on the horizon. Until then.
