new news

There are a few things that have been going on lately that I'd like to share with you all...

Item #1 - Union Docs
I'm going to be giving a talk at Union Docs next Sunday, August 26th at 7pm, part of their Documentary Bodega series. I'll be discussing the idea of documentary as a musical artform, and my talk will include work by Walter Ruttmann, Glenn Gould, and Steve Reich. The address is 322 Union Avenue, in Brooklyn. Click here for directions. Admission is $8. Come check it out if you can!

Item #2 - PRX's mp3 downloads
Ear Crack the downloadable mp3 collection is here! PRX has started an mp3 label, and one of their offerings is a collection of my work. You can check it out here or here. They also offer collections of other producers' work, including Jake Warga, Benjamin Walker, Dmae Roberts, Long Haul Productions, and Love & Radio, to name a few. Check out their whole catalogue here.

Item #3 - Half-time
Starting Sept 1st, I'll be half-time at Fair Game. I was really missing doing documentaries (and other non-comedy related stuff), so I decided to start using half of my week to produce work for other shows again. My first project will be the sound design and musical score for a television documentary that will air as an episode of Nova on PBS in January 2008. I'll post more details when I can.

That's it for now. Hopefully I'll be posting more often when I'm back to freelancing again, so keep checking in!
