Composing via Blog

blawgI am chronicling the creation of my new piece, Thirteen Near-Death Experiences, a concert of songs about hypochondria, commissioned by the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE).  I created this blog because I’m attracted to the idea of creating this piece “in public.”  I’m interested in hearing what people think of the songs as I’m writing them and/or what people think of the research I’m doing as I’m doing it.  So please visit the blog at 13neardeathexperiences.com, listen to the audio mock-ups of songs I’ve posted there, read the lyrics, look at the musical scores, and/or leave some comments for me.
