I’m a pianist, composer, music educator, Associate Professor of Music at Carleton University, but most importantly a dad.
I’m excited to put all of this together

Marit and her team are creative and hard working. Let’s get this passed

Everyday I read another unfathomable action in the American progression towards facism.

Absolutely despicable.

Great idea. I also donated to @catmckenney.bsky.social because I think they will make an incredible MPP.

Well, no tariffs at all. But Teslas really need a tariff

Sweet!

Similar situation in some Carleton washrooms!

Slow days are part of the creative process. If you plug away when it’s not flowing, you’re setting the stage for a more productive session when it is.

You just have to like alternate protein sources. Beans are a major staple

My four kids went vegetarian during the pandemic so I learned how to cook without meat. Three have re-introduced some meats but I’m having a hard time remembering to cook with it again because vegetarian cooking became a habit!

Composing will continue once I get through an intense admin/teaching work period. But I am excited about my projects. Writing a novel is a novel idea! I hope it’s bringing you joy even if there aren’t enough hours in the day!

Technology is stupid!

Bring back the social aspect! BlueSky seems to have potential. FB is a disaster... BUT there are a thousand people in my friend list from different phases of my life, which is fascinating. So I'll keep it, but strive to use it less.

I'm much more of a write-to-score person, but this time I'm composing directly to DAW using new content mixed with stems from a previously recorded project of mine. Doing this to generate a working recorded document quickly because I'm working with a choreographer. Then write the score after.
