Back in the USA

Finished up a fun week at Marktoberdorf (pictures here, including my Krummhorn lesson), returned briefly to Austria to repack, and have returned to the USA. Now I'm heads-down focused on finishing the Winds+Electronics piece (I really need a title, don't I?). I'll resurface when the piece is finished and give the full rundown on it. I'm proud of what I've created so far...

Bier, Klavier, mehr Bier

Wednesday night is a special night at this festival in Marktoberdorf - everyone puts on a show, which included PDQ Bach, a Krummhorn quartet, double-reed rendition of YMCA, and an Obi horn (which would translate roughly to a "Home Depot horn"). And then we all moved down to the beer cellar where I was cajoled into playing very bad piano and singing drunkenly with a large chunk of the band.

I love my job.
