Hey everyone,

Summer’s end once again….I’ll be watching the Perseid meteor shower this weekend under the stars in Sierraville. A solo road trip for my soul.

I’ll be giving two talks this coming week about our My Grandmother project, Monday, at the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center (members only) and Tuesday at our new neighborhood bookstore, Alley Cat Books. I’ll talk about how I composed the score and show clips from the film.

Speaking of Granny, we’ve two performances this month of My Grandmother with my octet performing live with the film indoors at the fab historic Mill Valley Throckmorton Theatre and outdoors at the cool Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema. Both performances will include our original narrator Nils Frykdahl (the best!) of Sleepytime Gorilla Museum and Fawn Fables fame!

Down the road….Stephen Kent and I will be performing at the prestigious Di Rosa Art Auction on October 20th, more about that soon. And in September I’ll be starting a new score for Axis Dance Company for premiere next spring. Yeah, I have work!

But meanwhile…it’s out into the starry night for me.
