Film Score for the animated short Monica, by Cartoonist Rob Cabrera
Life has been incredibly busy for the last few months between projects, the opera, teaching, and of course, taking of my most important masterpiece - Eva Rose Young! My baby girl had her first official recording session for Rob Cabrera's Monica soundtrack that I am composing. She had a great time with the headphones and talking into a real mic, and was paid dutifully in hugs and love. This project is wrapping up soon, so keep a look out for the exciting short Monica, coming out in 2013!

60x60 Athena Mix presented at Cameron University on May 1, @7:30 PM.

I will be presenting the video version of the 60 x 60 Athena Mix, an exciting and eclectic electronic mix of sixty short one minute electronic compositions by women around the world. The original Athena Mix was presented at the Athena Festival at Murray State University in 2011. This version has original video that I created using a combination of Moviestorm and Final Cut.

Music Secrets: How to Write an Opera, Part 1

Feel like writing an opera is only for big name composers with big budgets? Or are you willing to take the plunge and create a work in one of the most compelling and cutting edge musical forms...an opera?

Electronica work Las Aguas from the prizewinning multimedia Creation Oratorio by Sabrina Peña Young. Originally commissioned by the Millikin University Womens Choir and Percussion Ensemble. Program notes and Translation: Las Aguas Cielos Sky/Heavens Separe las aguas de las aguas Separate the waters from the waters Aire Air La vida Life (Swahili) Maisha Life Bahari Sea/Ocean Hewa Air Iwepo nafasi kati ya maji igawe maji na maji.
