Some fantastic publicity in the past week, first via the wonderful regional magazine Inspired, and then a composer’s forum at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, where I was a guest composer (alongside the great Jake Romig). Aside from the short clips I’ve posted here, the presentation in Whitewater was the first time I’ve presented this project, verbally, to another group of musicians. It certainly made the project feel more like a pending reality.

Kelly has been hard at work, building the first of four structures we’ll use to house the installation. Hopefully, I’ll get a peek at it tomorrow.

In other news, it was just after I posted the last entry about my linux tribulations that I found the key–don’t boot up the desktop environment when starting the RPi. Most likely, had I tried this earlier, my other experiments would have been successful. Oh, well…it only took 10 days to figure that one out.
