Music for a Film
I went to film school + once had someone tell me that I “thought life was a movie.” It was supposed to be an insult, but, really what’s wrong with that? I knew I would never move to Los Angeles and work in the film industry despite professional mentors urging me to do so early in my career, but I loved movies + wanted to study them. The truth is, life used to be a lot more like a movie. Movies used to be more like movies. One absent aspect of films that I often lament is the director’s (or studio’s or distributor’s) choice to forgo the cost/involvement associated with scoring the film and instead include popular music.

Summer Solstice Party at the Cleveland Museum of Art
Summer Solstice is a great place to meet likeminded Clevelanders that care about the city and the arts. There is something magical about being in the museum at night. It has everything to do with the authenticity of the museum that David Franklin spoke about at TEDxCLE this year. The art and people mingle, creating experiences unlike anything you can imagine.

Intentionally Passive Music Composition
Intentionally passive music composition has interested me for quite some time. This is the idea that we can create music by strategically planning for specific outcomes to create beautiful music; such as harnessing gravity, nature or the elements to create music organically. One of my favorite recent examples of this is Conductor, which harnesses the NYC subway system and turns it into an interactive string instrument.
