happy 2016 everyone!

as my first news of the year i am thrilled to share that i’ve been accepted as artist in residence at the sirius arts centre in cobh, ireland. cobh is perhaps most well known as being the last port of call for the titanic before it left for america. the sirius is a beautiful old yacht club on the harbor, turned into a centre for the arts.

this residency means i’ll be staying there several times throughout 2016 and letting the local landscape become inspiration for my work. at the moment i’m planning to work on an idea i’ve had brewing for a while now for a long-form orchestral piece. more about that later . . . hopefully.

i also hope to share some other news very soon . . . key word: PIANO

here’s what it looks like when you bury a small irish boy in grass and then snap a photo with a disposable camera:
