I’m pleased and excited to announce that I was declared the win­ner of this year’s annual Young Com­posers Meet­ing in the Nether­lands, hosted by renowned Dutch ensem­ble, ork­est de ereprijs. The jurors chose between 16 pieces that the invited com­posers wrote for the ensem­ble. My piece, Love in the Time of Con­nec­tiv­ity, was a col­lage of approx­i­mately a dozen other pieces, with sources rang­ing from Claude Debussy to Pizzi­cato Five. I’ll be writ­ing another piece for the ensem­ble, to be per­formed in 2010.

Amer­i­can com­poser Char­lie Wil­moth wrote an arti­cle on me and my music, which appeared today in Dusted Mag­a­zine. It’s always fas­ci­nat­ing for me to see how other peo­ple inter­pret what I do. Char­lie does a great job of encap­su­lat­ing sev­eral of the themes that are impor­tant to my work with his insight­ful com­men­tary. Thanks, Charlie!
