July, 2008 - An audio file of my newest work, Penumbrae, is now available on the Compositions page. The recording was made by the Studio for New Music at the Moscow Conservatory during my trip there in May. The group also gave the premiere of the work in Rachmaninoff Hall in Moscow on May 19, 2008. A commercial CD recording of Penumbrae will be available soon. (Ex)changing (Ex)tracts was performed by Wolfgang David (violin) and David Gompper (piano) in Frankfurt, Germany and Tallin, Estonia on June 1 and June 3 respectively. Edges is now available on an Albany label disc commemorating commemorating the fortieth anniversary of the University of Iowa's renowned Center for New Music. Buy the disc at Amazon.
