This is going to be a great electronic music concert. I sincerely hope that electronic music enthusiasts int he Miami area check it out. Juraj Kojs has been doing a great job of running some great concerts int he 12 Nights series. This Saturday, a colleague of mine, Fredinando De Sena will be presenting his music. He has a number of great performers participating.

The concert will be held in the Harold Goldman Art Gallery, where most of the 12 Nights Concerts have been held. Fred’s music is imaginative, powerful, and very expressive. You will enjoy what you hear this Saturday. Please join the scene of electronic music in Miami!

This summer I am dedicating myself to working in Csound. For my dissertation, I had worked largely with Pure Data to create the software. I felt a desire to return to Csound for a change of pace and have been greatly enjoying it. On the software page I am putting up some of the instruments I have been developing. Let me know what you think!

I used Csound exclusively for the music in the Wayfarer album, C Journey. In more recent work, however, I have turned to designing Csound MIDI instruments. As I create more instruments, I will continue to put them up for download. I encourage programmers and composers to check out the newer versions of Csound at Csounds.com.

For the end of this semester, the University of Miami Electronic Music ensemble and (the) Other Music Ensemble will be combining concerts into one event. The concert will be held in Clarke Recital Hall at 6pm on April 26, 2009. The Clarke Recital hall is on the University of Miami Coral Gables campus. It is just off the intersection between 56 st. (Miller Dr.) and San Amaro.

The Electronic Music Ensemble

Directed by myself, the Electronic Music Ensemble has a varied and powerful set of pieces to perform. We will be performing concert works that range from the abstract to the popular. There will be video pieces, pieces for audience interraction, and soundscapes that challenge the imagination.

The Other Music Ensemble

Directed by Dennis Kam, this ensemble performs pieces by primarily modern composers, and continually show the concert goer excellent musicianship and dedication toward promoting new music.

Free Event

Being a school event, the concert is free of charge. We will also be having a reception after the event featuring food and drinks, everyone’s favorite form of filling the stomach. Likewise, we will have performances of incidental music inside and outside the recital hall. This will be a truly artistic and creatively inspired event.

I have good news to announce. I have passed my dissertation defense at the University of Miami on April 6, 2009. With some revisions and copying, I will be a Doctor. Soon, I will be posting my dissertation, the software that I created vfor it, as well as the piece that I composed. At this time, I’m just recovering from the happiness of passing this final hoop.

The Arts & Letters Day function is coming up next week at Miami-Dade College. I will be performing a brief presentation at the Beat Cafe, Room K413, on the Kendall Campus next Wednesday at 10am. Hopefully my students can make it out to this. I will be performing some of my original electronic compositions. It will be imaginative and thought-provoking for those who attend.

Here is the schedule for Arts & Letters Day 2009

The Belly of the Beast

I will be debuting the new piece, “The Belly of the Beast” on Saturday, December 6th, 2008 in a performance in the 12 Nights Concert Series. This performance will be held at the Harold Goldman Art Gallery at the Art Center of South Florida, 800 Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, FL.

The piece is a salute to the monsters of the Kaiju Monster Art series. The piece will take the listener into the belly of these monsters, where their fire, desire, and hunger breed. I will perform the piece personally with vocal enhancement of processed monster sounds that I created. The piece is a 4 channel surround piece.
