Javier’s new movie
November 25th, 2011
My good friend Javier Lovera has just finished a short called A House No More and he asked me to write some music for it. He’s posted about it here. It gets released sometime next week. He’s an awesome photographer, and took some wicked pictures of my piano while we were recording it.

Max turned 2 last Monday, actually, and I took the Birthday Pictures, but didn’t manage to post until now. What a change since last year! Happy Birthday, Max. We love you.

Skater video
June 1st, 2011
I don’t normally spend a lot of time watching skateboarding videos, but that might change. Max just watched this one 8 times in a row. And it’s pretty remarkable. That’s one of the happiest people I’ve ever seen, just around 35 seconds.

Doc Now 2011
May 10th, 2011
Spring is here. You can tell because the Doc Now 2011 website is up. As part of our degree, our graduating class is showing our work in a several-week-long festival. Most of it takes place in June, although Serena’s show is part of Contact, and opens on Thursday.
There’s tons of awesome work in the festival. I’m lucky to have spent the past year and a half studying with such smart people.
Also lucky for me, my project, Every Face In The Americans, is going up at Toronto Image Works at the beginning of June. On Saturday, David asked me what it’s like to be making flat art that doesn’t move. I like it.

Best email from a student ever
March 27th, 2011
The following came from a student in one of my music technologies courses. The assignment in question involved notating a Bach chorale using Sibelius. The student gave me permission to post this on condition that I didn’t identify him:
I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2HOURS CHECKING EACH PART AND STILL THERE IS AN EXTRA BAR OR A BAR MISSING I MAY JUST LOSE A FEW BRAINCELLS I have handed the chorale in but i am really really angry this is ridiculous!! and I need time apart our relationship isn’t working. any-who. I tried really hard I promise.
hope you like what I haveSEBALIUS
This student works really hard and could potentially do very well in the course. You know who you are – I hope you’re reading this. Focus and slow down. You’ll be just fine.
