FILM
I composed the soundtrack for Nils Osmar's film, GUN DAY. The 7-minute short, a satirical talent contest about the "New America" where everyone celebrates the gun, was created in less than 48 hours as part of the 48-Hour Film Challenge. It will premiere on June 23 at Seattle's Harvard Exit Theater.

I have received a CITYARTIST PROJECT AWARD from the City of Seattle Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs. The Award, which carries a cash prize, will be used to compose a new work for choir setting poems by Samuel Beckett.

FILM
I composed the soundtrack for Nils Osmar's film, TO SERVE MANN. The 9-minute short, a comedy about a process server who has difficulty delivering papers to a self-employed torturer, was created in less than one week as part of the Seattle Truly Independent Film Festival (STIFF).

PERFORMANCE
60 x 60 comes to Seattle!! Robert Voisey's VOX NOVUS concert series played to a packed hall at Seattle's Good Shepherd Center (the city's premiere place for new music).
