Notes on Adding Friends/Top Friends:

Please include a note if you want me to add you as a friend.

I wish there were a way to automatically rotate only a portion of your Top Friends List. Since that's not the case, I will try to rotate friends in manually (leaving friends that send me flowers, chocolates and happy wishes on a regular basis at the top - ow ow ow)

Note about Upcoming Shows: The list on this webpage only includes shows for which I have a compositional credit or artistic credit (whatever that means). For the schedule of all shows/events I'm involved in (including as a sideperson), please see: General Schedule.

Two Cellos 2 Basses, was composed on January 1st, 2008 - recorded using two tracks of cello and two tracks of doublebass on Garageband 3 with some messing around with a dizzy panning effect.

It along with another of Ms. Wang's submissions for solo bass using extended techniques premiered on Sunday 17 June 2007 at the William Appleby Music Centre in Doncaster (South Yorkshire, UK) with Sarah Buckley (Db) and Angela Belbin-Wood (Pno).

The Riddle excerpt premiered at Seully Hall, Boston Conservatory in Boston, Massachusetts for Human Connection, a new music collective of composers and musicians. This cut is from a live recording of the last section of the complete work. The Riddle was created specifically to take advantage of the beautiful voice of Daniel Alexander, who also happens to be a brilliant playwright and director. The text is from a poem by Richard Wilbur. Other featured musicians performing here are Grant Smith (percussion, toy piano and children's harp), Yuka Hamano (piano), Kaoru Ishibashi violin and shoes on floor.
