"A Singing Comet" is a continuation of my work with transcribing sounds recorded in space for various acoustic ensembles. This piece began as an experiment in transcription of the sound emitted by the Comet 67p and recorded by Rosetta’s Plasma Consortium. After a complete transcription, I began to make musical interventions in the material, adding my own textures and musical contexts for the sound of the comet to travel through. In this way, "A Singing Comet" serves as a representation both of the actual sound of the comet, and the metaphoric representation of its travel through space and its interaction with the Human Race.

Recorded on 3/15/15 by the Little Giant Ensemble during Rice University's Common Practice 21C: Classical, Contemporary, and Cross-Cultural Music Festival highlighting a variety of Chinese Instruments and contemporary compositions composed for Both Chinese and Western Classical ensembles.

---------
The C'mon Festival are big proponents of the music of today, and every year, along with the slew of cool new chamber music in their setlists, they include a fun arrangement of a pop song as a cherry on top. With this year's theme being "roots," my head immediately went in another direction - I didn't grow up listening to almost any pop, but I did listen to a lot of video game music. Seeing it grow as much as it has, I'd say it's become a sort of popular music in its own right. 

Indie games are an especially rich creative force, and it seemed fitting to share something from one of my favorites of 2018 so far. "Celeste" is a game that's near and dear to my heart, and its soundtrack, composed by the wonderful Lena Raine, is strikingly beautiful and full of character. That's a good music of today
