Reed and I will be moving to Seattle before September 7, because that’s when the Pacific Northwest Film Scoring program starts. Totally awesome!  I’m currently immersed in a world of apartment hunting, which is exciting.  I like to think about how this decision would influence a lot of potential outcomes, and therefore would theoretically work as a central point from which several alternate realities spring.  But that’s really nerdy so I’ll just ponder that one on my own.

The school itself will be on Mercer Island.  We may end up moving into an apartment on the island itself, which is cool.  I’ve never lived on an island before (unless you say “This Island Earth” but then that’s less unique because there’s X Billion others in the same boat).  The alternative would be to find a place in Seattle or Bellevue and then ride the bike to class, which I would also be fine with.  There’s also the question of finding some kind of part-time weekend or evening job to make ends meet.

I recently completed a 4-week class on the history of electronic music.  Interesting stuff.  My appreciation for cerebral music is increasing, but I think I’ll still be able to handle “that sounds nice”.  The class was taught by Christopher Penrose, who is working on a spectral synth for the iPad called Synthtronica.

I’m sure there’s more to say but I’m not sure what it is just yet.

Here’s a youtube video of one of the pieces I presented at my recital:
