Undercrypt

The two recent eclipses made a nice frame for the big events and transitions that happened in the middle of the year.  Reactions and observations in no particular order:

CONvergence was a lot of fun, but I need to do things a bit differently next year. I had music panels three of the four days, and I ended up spending too much time hauling my keyboard rig to and from the hotel since I wasn’t comfortable leaving all of my gear sitting in the parking lot. Must have a hotel room next year.

The new music panels at Harmonic CONvergence were a blast. I hope those come back next year (and get some more promotion). The song I wrote for the 24 Hour Songwriting Challenge was based on the awesome suggestion “My Pet Rust Monster” and is probably as close to filk as I’m likely to get.

I’d like to figure out how to take the music I’m writing for Audio Wanderer and perform it live in a way that doesn’t involve pressing the play button on prerecorded tracks.

Voluntary Nightmare is on hiatus with everyone’s schedules filled up, and there are no definite plans for any more performances.

I’m in the process of bringing all of my music-making to the Mac world, and I’m loving it. It’ll be interesting comparing the sound of the new podcasts with the ones that are already out there.

I need to put some more thought into connecting my music to video of some sort.

In the meantime, more podcasts. And music for a play, about which more later.
