It's a busy week for premieres!  Tonight (Nov 11), two songs I wrote are on a concert of new works at SU's Goodson Chapel/Recital Hall; one will be sung by Melissa Chavez and the other by Steven Murray, both with Eric Waggoner, piano.  On Sunday (Nov 14), I'm collaborating with Alarm Will Sound clarinetist Elisabeth Stimpert, doing live electronics for her clarinet-and-electronics recital Clarinexus at Goodson Recital Hall.  The performance, which is part of SU's Ear Candy series, includes a new piece I wrote for solo clarinet and electronics, It Starts with One.  The musical sound is generated on the spot by the clarinetist, but is combined in up to eight simultaneous layers of live looping using Ableton Live.
