for this day at Unbalanced Connection

February 16th, 2018

8-channel composition @ Florida Contemporary Music Festival at U of Florida.

I was invited by members of the Music Composition program at University of Florida to present music as part of their Unbalanced Connection concert. For this event, I composed a new work called for this day for the eight channel sound system in their concert hall. It was great to catch up with colleagues James Paul Sain and Paul Koonce, and a privilege to meet many of their graduate students in Gainesville.

I also had some time to mingle with some of the other composers, including Robert Normandeau who came from the University of Montreal. Normandeau’s trip to Florida was part of an artistic residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts (ACA) in New Smyrna Beach. About two weeks after first meeting him in Gainesville, I was able to travel with students from my DIGA 366 course to hear him lecture about his work at the ACA.
