Summer has arrived!Posted by admin on May 5th, 2009

Well, here we are.  I made it the end of another semester.  This one was particularly challenging, but also equally rewarding.  Looking back on it, I managed to accomplish everything I set out to do, and even a little more!  I finished my Max program and did a live performance at the composer’s recital, played a surround piece at the annex show, improved my composition skills, finished my paper on Debussy, and of course, went to the SEAMUS conference.

Now it’s already time to look ahead to summer plans and goals as I continue to enjoy work at the Bose store in Huntley:

- I want to get started on my final thesis project, which will involve HD video and multi-channel audio (more on that to come)

- I’m working on finally finishing my solo album and getting a new Myspace page going for my music

- I have a new DVD project coming from Chicago art professor Gabe Akagawa

- I have several other recording projects in the works, including new projects from John Statz and Tony Memmel.

- Some summer wedding gigs are in the works for DJ services and/or video.

- Cassie and I are beginning to plan our trip out west to Colorado in July!  (More on that to come, as well)

- Finally, just keeping fit, helping Cassie with her garden, and enjoying the beautiful summer weather.

One more Grad school semester to go!
