Just a quick update

So here's a brief recap of what's going on in my life. The last month of classes were fine, Ensemble 48 performed in various concerts, and our reputation is slowly growing, which is awesome. On Earth Day, I dressed up as Abitibi, the paper-retriever dog.

It was seriously a dream come true. I've also been attending a ton of concerts, both by students and by professionals, as well as watching as many Boston-related sports events as humanly possible without buying cable. My home-brewed beer is pretty great after all, and I've been sharing it with my fellow composers, as we've already had two barbecues. My Film Music class started today, and so far so good. To understand just how great it is, all I really need to mention is that we started with a general survey of the course, went on to some silent films and other early classics, but we ended with the great Odessa steps scene in Battleship Potemkin, followed by its direct reference in the Untouchables, and then the timeless spoof in Naked Gun 33 1/3. It's gonna be a great class.
