HELLO!  and WELCOME!

and

thank-you for checking in...

If you don't know me...

I take the clangs of NYC construction, sporadic beep beep of horns, whirring of some type of unidentified machine that never seems to stop, then mix in some occasional cabbie shouting expletives, the bass thump thump thump from a car passing in the night, the bar or stadium cheers for a Yankees home run and..., and am surrounded by music!

If you do know me...

well, you already know all that!!!

I try to keep the music great, the story interesting, the visuals stimulating, and the movement fresh - and then wind them into a spectacular melange.

What's new?

Please check back soon!

I'm working hard on

some new compositions.

I'll post performance news

as soon as it becomes available.

The Shopper Counts

was composed as part of the Concrete Timbre Covid-eo Project.

Bertolt Brecht's The Shopper (1934) gives immediate reactions to and commentary upon the events of his world; they seem remarkably similar to what we see now during our pandemic life.

Features a video by Robert Morton, performances by Coran Newland (Narrator), Aleksandra Newland (Flute), Claire Carson (Soprano 1), Amy Carson Dwyer (Soprano 2), and Ann Warren (piano).

What's up next?
