Happy New Year Fans of the New Lullaby Project!<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you for redeeming a bit of 2020. I hadn\u2019t planned on 2020 being the year of New Lullabies for me. I had planned a year of Cage, chamber music and touring, but a chance New Lullaby collaboration at <\/span>Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity with performance artists <\/span>Laura Sof\u00eda P\u00e9rez & Jasmine Yeh in January planted a seed that would blossom into two new creations as the pandemic decimated the performing arts.<\/div>\n
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
The prospect of recording close to 50 New Lullabies still to be recorded had been a major financial hurdle. Catherine and I had spent the prior 18-months re-organizing our basement with plans to rent short-term, but the Boston Housing Gods decided in June that we had too many rooms for a single family, so no rentals would be allowed in the basement. With Catherine\u2019s blessing, some advice from engineer friends and mentors, I began building a home studio. As the saying goes, If I can\u2019t make money on it, at least I can deduct it for business!<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
At this time, I had a conversation with the director of the <\/span>American Composers Alliance, <\/span>Gina Genova, regarding my longtime dream of publishing scores from the New Lullaby Project in an anthology; btw, a collection is different than an anthology. I had received grants from the ACA for the performance of multiple pieces by Thomas L. Read, and the ACA introduced me to the music of <\/span>Tom Flaherty, so I knew they were a legit organization of awesomeness. They rest, as they say, is history.<\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
I\u2019m extremely happy with the album and anthology. I have plans for another album and anthology volume to be released in early 2021.<\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
To all of the patient composers and longtime audience members who have expressed support of the project through attending concerts this year online, purchasing the albums and anthology, and writing me directly: THANK YOU!!<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
 <\/div>\n
HAPPY NEW YEAR!<\/b><\/span><\/div>\n
May we Dream Well!<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n
