My Work and Thoughts on Paper Clips, Paper Cranes, and Music

Music

I have done quite a bit with music.  Most people who know me would  probably identify me as a musician before any other sort of artist.

I have been organist at the Newtown Congregation Church since January 1997.  I have had other gigs over the years, including a few years back with the New England New Music Ensemble (N.E.N.M.E.) as a keyboard player.

In addition to playing I have done some composing.  The score in the image is a page from my composition Un viernes por la noce en la Habana, a piece  I performed at a 2018 N.E.N.M.E. recital.  It is a programmatic piece depicting the adventures of a US business man's clandestine adventures on Friday night in Cuba's capital city.  Click on the image to listen my performance.  It is available on SoundCloud along with other N.E.N.M.E. recordings.

I plan to add more content here including my algorithmic compositions and microtonal work.  That work is all about my interest with computers and how I have used technology for music.  As with my paper clip work, some of this stuff goes back 50 years, with a big gap of little done for the past few decades.
