In 2015, Steve Cowan and I began a collaborative project creating music from the dialects of Newfoundland. We had no idea that this project would take eight years to complete, but here we are! Our work is culminating in an album, One Foot in the Past, that is scheduled for release by Centrediscs in November 2023. It involved many different influences and many strains of research, which we have documented here.

I'm delighted to share a new video of the guitar-flute version of my piece Folk Suite, performed by the incredible Adam Cicchillitti and Lara Deutsch! This piece was originally commissioned by the marimba-cello duo Stick&Bow, and it's been amazing to see it take on a life of its own with performances around the world by several different ensembles. Folk Suite will be featured on Adam and Lara’s album Wanderlust, which will be released this summer by Leaf Music. https://youtu.be/WDgFEeeib_E

I'm happy to share a cartoon that I helped create! It's an educational video produced by the ACTOR Project about how people associate musical sounds with colours. The star of the show is Cameron Chameleon, a character from one of my compositions, and a lot of the music in the soundtrack is mine as well. Many thanks to Ben Duinker and the ACTOR team for all your great work on this! https://youtu.be/WwaoH-JVoeE

My newest academic publication is out! I'm proud to have been part of this project with the amazing team of Lindsey Reymore, Caroline Traube, Zach Wallmark, and Charis Saitis, chipping away at the enormous question of how musical sound becomes meaningful. In this paper, we report a large online experiment that studied the words people use to describe musical sounds. We were specifically interested in how those descriptive words change in relation to musical instruments, registers, and pitches. Many thanks to the ACTOR Project for funding this project! https://online.ucpress.edu/mp/article/40/3/253/195233/Timbre-Semantic-Associations-Vary-Both-Between-and
