Now that I’m back in California, the new-music scene is right at my fingertips.

My piece Tonbo for “mixed octet” (flute, alto sax, harp, piano, violin, cello, bass, and percussion) has been accepted for the SOUND HORIZONS VIII competition, so on October 8th, 7PM, at the Kuumbwa Jazz Center Santa Cruz’s contemporary music group, New Music Works, will perform a reading of it.

The best part being that the concert will be recorded and so all composers in the show get a CD of a professional reading of their pieces.

Check back here after the 8th for the mp3.

… they released this CD many months ago, but never sent me the cover art, so I couldn’t plug it here. So I finally tracked it down on my own, and here it is:

Anyway, I’ve updated my discography page, as some of my tracks appear on this album as well. If you’d like to pick up a copy, Mrs. Skannotto is selling it through their merchandise page.

Happy skanking.
