		<title>ignorance and malevolence</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Ignorance and malevolence are united in a single root; the latter benefits surreptitiously from the advantage it draws from the former.  I do not know which is the more hateful.  In itself, ignorance is, of course, no crime.  It begins to be suspect when it pleads sincerity; for sincerity &#8230; is hardly [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ll be doing an installation version of the piece for an [...]]]></description>

		<title>Review of The Fourth Space in Art in America</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My aunt and collaborator, Cecilia Dougherty, just received a wonderful review in Art In America for her installation, The Fourth Space, which was up at Participant last October.

		<title>Standing Water on Sound is Art</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m psyched to see some of my work up on one of my favorite sites, Margaret Noble&#8217;s Sound Is Art.  Margaret posts a new sound about twice a week, and they&#8217;re always great.  I&#8217;ve discovered a lot of composers and sound artists through her site.  The clip she posted in the above [...]]]></description>

		<title>Open mic sound art!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had a conversation yesterday that started, &#8220;You like sound art, right?&#8221;  Uh oh, I thought.  I had an idea where this was heading.  I responded, &#8220;That&#8217;s sort of like saying, &#8216;You like sculpture, right?&#8217;&#8221;  The truth of my statement was not heartily acknowledged.  They went on to tell me [...]]]></description>

		<title>hörpartitur &#8211; listening score</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m on a major notation kick lately.  Just found this on the youtubes.  It&#8217;s a &#8220;listening score&#8221; made by Rainer Wehinger for the Ligeti&#8217;s electronic piece Artikulation, one of three pieces Ligeti composed while working in the electronic music studio at WDR (the only three electronic works he ever composed) A fella who calls himself [...]]]></description>

		<title>from &#8220;liner notes&#8221;</title>

		<title>Conn College Composers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My undergrad alma mater, Connecticut College, just published an article titled  Sounding Off, profiling several alumni composers, including me.  The online version of the article includes a link to mp3s of works by each profiled composer.
Many thanks to David Brensilver, who did a great job writing the article!
