Delighted to see the Berlin Phil concert of Williams’s music (TWICE) last weekend! Stéphane Denève was a wonder as conductor & the Phil were phenomenal. Denève gave his flowers to Williams, leaving them on the score on the podium. A class act 🥲

Exited to return to NYU this summer to present my paper “I don’t think we have enough hot dogs”: Metafilm music in Todd Hayne’s May December (2023). It’ll be my first non-Williams-themed paper at Music and the Moving Image.
Yes, the title came first. The paper will just write itself. I hope!
