About me

I am an active composer, music teacher, and organizer of music events. I share an occasional Music as Meditation concert with listeners and fellow musicians and I organize several concerts of new music each year. I use this blog to tell people about my musical endeavors and as a home for my virtual busking basket.

 This Forest is Alive

         It's not an opera, not a science lecture, not a symphony, not a feature film…..

It is a collaborative multi-media art project celebrating the amazing idea that forests live in community and that we might learn to live in community with the forests that surround us.

     The first installment of this project is a video with spoken words, nature sounds, a fugue, and pictures of the forest. Robin's Song in Mixed Meter features a Robin diva along with a woodwind trio comprised of Doris Henney playing flute, Judith English playing clarinet, and Nancy Goldenhar playing bassoon. Remaining videos are in development and will be released every so often. Check back here for more.

     Lots of people responded to the first video with ideas for further reading. I am compiling a bibliography to further our corporate understanding of forests and our place among them. If you have something to add, please let me know. Please get in touch with me if you want to contribute visual art to this project. You can find my e-mail to the right of this page.
