Having been so inspired, I just finished an electroacoustic piece: Katachi I for fixed media (2011). I have been processing these sounds, and now I finally get to use them! Guess what sounds I used? (Program notes will be posted soon!)
There was this classic music technology panic tonight at the performance of my Awakening for trombone and live electronics (2010). Well, first of all, the freeverb~ object was not recognized at all. Then, there was this long sustained tone that wasn't supposed to be there. I was so glad that after two cues of events, it cut off... but nonetheless, I don't think anyone noticed, and that sustained tone actually fit the context. I was so afraid that it wouldn't cut off - in that case, I would have to "X" kill it... Anyways, it was a great concert, with the great trombonist - Kevin Fairbairn!

So, I am gonna move the third times this afternoon. Meanwhile, I have been staying at a friend's house and a friend's friends' apartment... and, I met many new Chinese friends. It's a great opportunity for me to practice my Mandarin. I am really looking forwards to live in my new and huge and close-to-school apartment ---- there's three bedrooms, on-site laundry, air-conditioner...
# I remembered learning frantically about chess and Go (Weiqi, 圍棋) last semester, and was gonna write a blog post about it ---- maybe later. I really wanna find someone who could play with me... # Ima be very random here... I have been thinking about getting a new laptop for so long. I have this Dell Inspiron 6400 for almost 5 years now, and I feel it is gonna die soon. The screen is shorta broken; the cable plug does not work so i can only use wi-fi; it has killed three new ac power adapter; it loads forever, and I don't wanna format it again... maybe it's time for me to get a Mac... I also wanna get the new iPod Touch that might come out in September... TOO MUCH TO SPEND! |
