1/2: "Massive Elves" comes from "Mass Ave. elves". "Elves" has been my personal slang for Berklee students since I realized that "Berklee" is an anagram for "Keebler". The piece was created by converting "Berklee" to a tone row using the musical cryptography that I developed for An Equal Sea.

1/2: A week ago, I came across a sketch for a composition that I barely remember writing almost four years ago at the Copley Square Library in Boston, a great place for laptop composers to work if you have a good set of headphones.

Finally managed to sneak in a few breaks from the real world to revise "Zappacrite" for the first time in over a year. Still far from finished but I managed to add an extra minute to the fourth movement, "Errs a Parent".

Boycott #ebay. They #outsource their customer service to an "offshore" company that suspended my 26 year old account on the premise that they couldn't verify my account. I could barely understand the broken English of the customer service person.
