JUICY: the home stretch

This is only semi-candid. And by "semi-candid," I mean I asked my wife to get on the couch and take a picture of me working so I'd finally have something else to post here.

Sorry for the radio silence as of late! I took a few months off from "career schtuff" to dedicate my full attention to our new baby. Jude, by the way, is over four months old already. I simply can't believe it.

Anyway, I'm putting the finishing touches on Juicy, my piece for electronics programmed on the Fifth Floor Collective's PLUGGED IN 2 concert on January 14th. "Hercules," a nor'easter (why are we naming these things?!), ground Boston pretty much to a halt today, and I took advantage of the forced time indoors to work on this icy little piece.

Anyway, this one has been great fun to work on. I've gotten to use a whole battery of my favorite software (SPEAR ftw!), and I've been smashing a super-cool aluminum juicer against more or less every stationary object in our home. Jude's been loving it. Micah, not quite so much, but she's patient and supportive. I might be posting a brief preview of the piece in a few days, so be on the lookout!
