Working with Ensemble Intercontemporain this Summer

An interesting turn of events has occurred, which has made my current schedule more intense.  I was bumped off of the In Vivo Danse workshop at ManiFeste (formerly Acanthes) at IRCAM, onto the Ensemble Intercontemporain (EIC) workshop.  Though I was looking forward very much to working with the Zoo Company, this new opportunity is of course quite extraordinary.  Until the end of April, I'll be working on a new piece for EIC, my Pierrot companion piece (based on a deconstruction of Rilke), and UCSD's SpringFest, not to mention numerous projects related to my research assistantship.

Upcoming Premiere at IRCAM's ManiFeste (formerly Acanthes)

I just received word that I have been selected to compose an electronic work to accompany the dancers of the Zoo Company, at IRCAM's ManiFeste (formerly Acanthes).  I believe that this is the concert that will feature the works - I'll be sharing the program with other student composers, and Salvatore Sciarrino's Tre notturni brillanti pour alto.  This will be my first European premiere.
