Music Projects 2012

2012 proves to be another creative year. Check out some of the my latest music projects:

Libertaria: The Virtual Opera

The virtual opera is in full music production. After handpicking a very, very talented cast of musicians through virtual auditions, we have launched into the recording phase of the project. Find out more about the Libertaria Cast here: http://virtualopera.wordpress.com/libertaria-cast/.

The opera leads include the Kate Sikura and Gracia Gillund as Libertaria, Gretchen Suarez-Pena as Lucinde, and Matthew Meadows as Simeon. Each cast member records the music from Libertaria and sends the recordings back to the sound team, which includes the talented Eve Klein from Textile Audio and musician Patrick Neher. Animation begins in the summer. We have several talented animators helping out on the project, headed up by Art Director Caroline Damien. Legendary composer Dr. Clare Shore serves as the Music Advisor.

I continue blogging regularly for the music education site: Easy Ear Training.com. For Halloween I composed the fun track Halloween Horror 3000 and added some fun music educator Halloween goodies like fun songs and activities that you can check out here.

Millikin University Halloween Concert
Halloween seems to be my busiest time of year. I had another opportunity to work with the Millikin University Percussion Ensemble. This year I created a fun animation, starring percussion director Brian Justison. You can catch snips of the animation here at Moviestorm: http://www.moviestorm.co.uk/community/index.php?page=videos&section=view&vid_id=107837

I'm anticipating several exciting performances from New York to Argentina this spring, including a performance of "Light", movement 2 from my award-winning Creation oratorio and the work "Song of the Forgotten Rose", for soprano, flute, and piano.
