fifteenth




This is a new take on some old footage. I'm working on a new bike video, but I need to stop using video as a crutch for my work. I enjoy working with video, I just need some help with creating the video.

Radio Show 1.10

This past week I played a selection of Opera from the composers Philip Glass and Steve Reich. I started the program with the first scene from Glass's Opera "Einstein on the Beach" entitled "Train 1." I then followed that with excerpts from the first act of Steve Reich's Opera "The Cave." Both of these are two very interesting pieces, with Glass's work being an homage to Einstein, and Reich's a recognition of a Mosque and the questions of religion.

I finished the program with a piece by a good friend of mine, Brian Petuch. Brian and I both recently graduated from FAU together and he has taught me much about composition. I played his piece "The JR Line," which can be found here.

This Friday I will unfortunately have to miss my show because I will be traveling to New York for Amanda's birthday. I'll be back for my show the following week, May 8th.

Quiet River on Vimeo

Quiet River (formerly Quiet River High) has posted a nice collection of live videos on their new Vimeo Channel,

All of these videos were filmed by my girlfriend, Amanda McCleod. Amanda also has taken a large amount of our live photos, which can be seen here. Thank you Amanda for your generous support.
