Cana­dian Trio Toca Loca recently launched their debut album, which includes a fan­tas­tic ver­sion of my piece, Cul­ture no.2 (or, Shoot Like a Film Star), which they com­mis­sioned in 2007. The album is avail­able through Cen­ter­Discs and can also be ordered through iTunes and Amazon. Also check out details about their CD launches in Berlin and Vancouver.

I was pleased to find recently that I was fea­tured on Amer­i­can con­tem­po­rary clas­si­cal blog, Sequenza21.com. Amer­i­can com­poser Steve Layton wrote an arti­cle on the Cana­dian Music Centre, in which he named me as one of his favourite Cana­dian com­posers, along­side the likes of Claude Vivier and John Rea.
