Howdy!

I can't believe it's been almost 4 months since I sent out my last newsletter-- time seems to be flying by.

Speaking of flying :) ...I just recently returned from an absolutely incredible trip to Bogotá, Colombia where I was working on a new animation project-- and had the incredible opportunity to para-glide over the mountains!

If you ever have the opportunity to fly like this-- don't pass it up!  I'm so glad I didn't chicken-out.

In other news - now that I'm back I'm accepting new music students for an exciting new curriculum I've developed.

Any help spreading the word would be greatly appreciated...

Sound of Silent Film Festival - Chicago
Music Box Theater

Chicago premiere of 'Bicycle Notes'

I am very excited to announce that 'Bicycle Notes' - the recent short-film collaboration with animator Fernanda Torres will be shown at the historic Music Box Theater.  And I will be attempting to play all the layers of music and sound effects live along with it-- with the help of cellist Sophie Webber and some others (hopefully!).

The rest of the festival program looks really exciting as well.  Hope you can make it!  Program and tickets:
