Happy Holidays and stuff. This is my last missive from 2011 and there are two things to tell you about January (i.e. the month where I lose mind):
1) For the next two weeks, I will be knee-deep in Seattle Shakespeare Company’s production of Coriolanus (stop giggling!), working as sound designer and music supervisor on one of Shakespeare’s least produced plays (though it was nice of Ralph “Don’t call me Voldemort” Fiennes to direct and release his big screen adaptation in January, too).
All performances are at the Seattle Center House Theatre, January 4-29; ticket and calendar info can be found here.
2) And, I guess the biggest news to be shared is that my wife and I have a duo project that will drop on/around January 22nd–okay, maybe DROPPED is the wrong word–because you don’t want to drop a baby!
Yes, I’m about to enter a new era of sleepless nights and poor parental judgment and, since I’ve know about the impending Life Changing Event since May, now you know why I was hesitant to revive The Dark Pioneers right after Sam’s departure; I know as soon as the band was back up and running, we would have to hit the pause button for a while. So far, my live calendar remains empty and will likely stay that way until spring; I also have this huge stockpile of unreleased music that’s growing fallow on my hard drive…guess that will have to keep a while longer since, you know…BABY!
Stay tuned and have a happy new year!
