No news is good news

Yeah, so it’s been pretty quiet ’round here. I’ve been busy.

Speech and Debate
I music directed and did sound design for Perseverance’s latest 2nd-stage play, Speech and Debate. It’s a funny, quirky play starring talented Juneauites Jesse Alleva, Johanna Evans, and Corin Hughes-Skandijs. We’ve been in tech all this week, and the play opened tonight. The playwright sent us the music for the songs in the play, but the rest of the sounds were put together by me. It invloved recording a ton of voiceovers. A shout-out to Joe, who gets the ultimate bonus points for yelling some rather bigoted phrases at high volume over and over for the scene in which some jocks yell at the kids in the high school’s gay-straight alliance. I can’t imagine what the neighbors were thinking.

The Jaded Six
Once again, my brothers and sister in rock are attempting to put together a set and play some gigs around town. Nearly all of us are also doing Tommy, which begins in late January, so we’re under a bit of a deadline. Hopefully it’ll come together. It’s been fun playing with the guys again. Sara was kind enough to take some photos, as you can see.

My own music
And finally, and perhaps most awesomely, I’ve been working hard on recording songs. I should have some new stuff to upload here very soon. Frances will be here tomorrow to record some harmony vocals, which I’m VERY excited about. We’ll be concentrating on “Emily’s Song” and “Untitled.” The great news is that she and her husband are moving to Juneau early next year, so we’ll be able to collaborate a lot more.

I’m slowly updating my site in preparation for new material (way to jinx myself), so some stuff might not be working for a little while.
