Hey Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m excited to announce that I will be hosting a panel discussion for the Arc Project Festival<\/a> about Composers & Technology on December 18, 2021. I’m saving up announcing the panelists for later on, but this will be a deep dive discussion about…well pretty spot on the topic: Composing & Technology<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ll be addressing some of the changes classical composers are experiencing with technology (and the challenges that accompany that), working with DAWs and notation software, workflows, and much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve always been interested in the intersection of composing and technology. I remember the first Finale Note Pad I used in 2004. I also picked up some notation software from the library – no idea what it was, but it was…interesting to learn in. Of course, then I was in a punk band throughout high school and college and I learned so much about mixing, sound, and electronics. This is where I fell in love with gear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of composers & technology, I just picked up some brand new gear for the studio and I can’t wait to play with it more!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have been thirsting for a mixing controller for years and I finally picked one up. It’s incredibly useful for the week I’ve been using it so far. I’m going to be working on a complete re-setup of my studio with it, but for now I can just say it’s so nice to mix with real faders again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Have I ever told you about the old Alesis X2<\/a> I had? She was a beast, something like 250lbs. It was fun to play with but age caught up to her. So sad, but good times mixing punk demos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been fun for me to discuss this topic with other composers and I’m excited to hear what you <\/strong>think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
