Four Songs recording
A recording of Four Songs from The Caucasian Chalk Circle has been posted on UMKC Conservatory’s InstantEncore page as part of the Best of Spring 2010 Performances playlist. The performance is by Katherine Crawford, from the February 2010 Composers Guild concert.
The songs themselves are also available on my profile page, and the complete playlist is here (the pieces by my friends Chris Biggs, Caroline Miller, and Brad Baumgardner are all top notch).

“Reliquary”
Reliquary, the sound art installation Paul Rudy and I did for the UMKC Friends of the Library annual celebration, was a resounding success. Here are a few links to photos and such:
- The May 23 edition of KCUR’s KC Currents, featuring an interview with Sharon Bostick, Paul Rudy, and myself about the UMKC library robot and “Reliquary” (around time 17:35-29:00 in the broadcast). Also with a short writeup and edited audio here.
- The UMKC Libraries’ Flickr gallery of the May 12 event.
- Progressive stages of construction (on my Facebook page)
As of this week, the installation is open on the third floor of the UMKC Miller Nichols Library. If you’re in the area, drop by and check it out!

Meet the Robot
Yes, you read that right. I am working with Paul Rudy on an installation for the UMKC Friends of the Library, to be presented May 12 at the Friends’ 45th annual celebration.
Here’s a short description I wrote of what we’re doing…
This installation uses sound and light to explore the relationship between physical objects and the non-physical ideas they represent. It is an interactive meditation on the intersection of old and new technologies that invites participation–as the viewer touches, moves, and interacts with books on a shelf, new sounds and images present new avenues for reflection on what is truly enduring, and what is ephemeral.
