I'll be presenting new work at my noon talk at SōSI, tomorrow. Solos for Josh (steel drums) and for Jason (drum set), most of which were written in a furiously productive first week here. And Sō will play Babybot, a little quartet of mine, on Saturday afternoon. FYI.

... and we will celebrate the release of both, in Brooklyn on 1.29.

One More Revolution Records 001-003 funded, among other things.

I've been working on something new. I entered a demo version into the Tiny Desk Concert contest: 

And then, after we acquired a real piano (!), playing this next tune ("fireball") reminded me that I actually recorded it years ago. So I'll share that, too: 

It's a song about my brother being at war in Iraq. Here's hoping that this whole war song genre gets to lie dormant for the next many years.
