Met with Dan Kellogg and got his approval on Composition Project 1 of my dissertation portfolio. I meet with Michael Theodore tomorrow.

Did a few give-away promotions for the Mystery Cabal Store. Not a lot of success, but a few more people have recordings of my music. I also got to make a reference to the “Lick here. You may be one of the luck 25″ line from Principia Discordia.

Did some post production on the Kallisti Two album to get it ready for my audio portfolio. I needed a song for a second-round of a job search.

Sent my app for a film scoring fellowship.

Hsing-Ay Hsu has released a new CD called “2008 Live!,” and it includes the Couperin recordings that I engineered for her. You can buy it at her store or at CD Baby. Hsing-Ay was incredible to work with. It was one of  the best experiences I’ve had recording a performer. She is a first-rate player, and she has great memory of a take. If she says it was good, it was good. She seemed completely at ease with the recording process.

I’m trying to get in the habit of posting at least weekly.

New this week:

1. Mystery Cabal store continues to grow. The score for Erisian Cycles, the piece that won the ISU Carillon Composition Competition in 2006 is up in PDF form.
2. Got Carter Pann’s approval on Composition Project 1 of my dissertation portfolio.
3. I got a request for some second round material from a job search. I did some work to assymble the packet.
4. Started a new semester at CU. I’m teaching the same class, but I’m trying to make a few changes this semester.
5. I did a bit of brainstorming on an ISIM member survey. We are moving into recruitment season, and I would like to have some idea what attracted our current membership to the organization.
6. I did some more assembly work on Composition Project 2. The music is done, but I need to work on packaging and presentation.
7. I got a number of errands taken care of. Busy work.
8. Migrated the Mystery Cabal mailing list to Dada 3.0.2 (from 2.6 or 7). I took it as a chance to move the location of the mailing list over to the Mystery Cabal domain.
9. Started a new project for Mentormeter Media.
10. Assembled package for a fellowship I am applying for. Using the Hide & Seek soundtrack

The Coefficient of Friction Teaser CD has been re-released at the Mystery Cabal Store . It was really strange to revisit that recording. It is really sloppy, but there was a fun-loving quality that I love.

I have finally released The Distillations Set. It is available through the new Mystery Cabal store here. The store is coming along nicely, and it is cool to have all of that stuff  available again.

The ISIM panel group is meeting again in the next week to continue discussion of the new music “scene.”

The sax recording is done and up at the site. Hopefully, it will start getting some attention.
