Tick, Ting, Ten: Fun with small drums and found percussion
Published on Fri, 2020-06-19 13:38I have spent a portion of my quarantine playing the assortment of bowls, shakers, and random sound makers I've accumulated. This has inspired me to practice small-drum rudiments and play the shime-daiko again. In this workshop, I'll do a quick overview of grip and strike, show some drills I've found most helpful, and share my current approach(es) to composing for these instruments.

Talking Trash
Published on Thu, 2020-06-18 09:40Touring can produce a lot of trash. On the 2020 Composition Tour, Minh and I tried a variety of things to keep our waste to a minimum. We were moderately successful... not as efficient as we are at home, but better than my previous tours.
Sustainable Touring, Attempt 1
Published on Tue, 2020-06-16 22:53Minh and I completed a cross-country tour in a Tesla Model S. It was our first attempt at finding an alternative to carbon-intensive air travel. By our rough calculations, the Tesla appears to produce 35% less CO2 than a regular car, and less than half of the CO2 that would be created by flying.

Total miles driven: 7648
Total electricity used: 2535.8 kWh
Estimated CO2: 1.8 metric tons
