Now, I have my chance: the JTNY has a new production which just opened at the Triad Theatre on West 72nd St (NYC). Presenting: Mountain Jews!
I wrote music (and lots of strange sound effects); I hope to have songs posted on this website soon.
In the mean time, check out this Quicktime video clip to get a sense of the show!
(Oh, and showtime details: shows are Sundays @ 3pm and Tuesdays @ 7pm at the Triad (158 W. 72nd ST.); Tix are $55 or $20 for Students w/ID; contact the Jewish Theater
or call 212-352-3101 (TheaterMania) to make a reservation. And there will be food & drinks to nosh on if you do attend!)
Ripcords was presented as part of the 2008 New York International Fringe Festival at the Bleecker Street Theatre in NYC's
East Village.
Charlie Chang and the mysterious Salami was presented by New York Artists Unlimited as part of the 2008 Bad Musicals Festival
at the Producers Club in Midtown Manhattan.
Click on the postcards for more information about those productions!
(Oh, and Charlie Chang was awarded the "Golden Pineapple" for being the worst musical of the Bad Musicals Festival!)
The Man In Room 306 takes place on the evening of April 3rd, 1968, as the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. struggles to write the most
difficult - and, sadly, the final - speech of his life.
I am doing sound effects for both plays, and writing (and performing!) some original flute music (check out the piece "Elliot's Fugue" on my Audio Samples
page for an excerpt of this.)
But instead of a ghost story, how about a theatrical tale of the macabre- for what is more creepy than the supernatural but the innate forces
of human nature?
Join us as we experience three stories from the mind of Edgar Allan Poe- as adapted by Greg Oliver Bodine and directed by Amber Estes- to see what
exactly makes us human - or inhuman, as the case may be.
(Now playing - through November 3rd - at the Manhattan Theatre Source in the West Village. See www.wickedtaverntales.com
for more info, including schedule, location, tickets, and news of the special Halloween treats in store!)
Here is a web-flier with all the details. I hope to see you there!
Since this month's shindig also falls on Bastille Day (July 14th), I thought it might be fun to celebrate both events at the same time by playing
some French music on my set of Medieval Bagpipes (which happens to have a green cover on the bag.) Evidently, the people who run the Micro Museum
also thought it might be fun, as they have invited me to perform!
Here are the details (from their press release):

Well, maybe not at this moment, but it just might be on Sunday, December 3rd, 2006, when a song I wrote with my wonderful collaborating partner
Anne Berlin receives its premiere performance by the vocal group RPM at Theater 1010's
Annual Holiday Concert.
The performance will be at 1pm at the sactuary of the Park Avenue Christian Church on 1010 Park Avenue (between 84th and 85th streets).
Tickets are $10 (suggested donation), and there will be a reception afterwards. For more details,
click here. See you there, and don't forget your snow boots!
My next big "music for a play" project will be for the above production, debuting in January 2007, directed by Charles E. Gerber and
presented by The New York Actors Ensemble in association with the WorkShop Theater Company.
And for those morbidly curious: it will have blood...
(More details will be coming soon.)
Taro, choreographed by Mariana Bekerman (and friends!) will receive its complete, world premiere performances
at the Joyce SoHo (cutely nicknamed "JoHo") - 155 Mercer Street (between Houston and Prince streets, NYC) - from September 21 to 24th.
Tickets are $15 ($10 for students/seniors) and can be paid for at the box office (cash only), or through the reservation line (highly recommended,
as the theatre tends to sell out quickly) at (212) 334-7479.
I'll be at the performances (it does feature about 1/2 hour worth of my music on CD!), and it whould be a fun evening: the choreography is
stunning, and it's noteworthy in that not many choreographers are making full-length (over an hour of continuous dancing) dramatic story-line
modern dance pieces nowadays.
Oh, and a plug goes to Benjamin Dauer, a very cool composer whose music also appears on the
Taro concert.
And in case you were wondering, this is what Taro is all about...
Here are some Upcoming performances of TaroExcerpts in case you missed the big thing above:
October 7 @ 3pm
October 22, 2006 @ 5pm
For even more Taro info, visit Mariana's website at www.mbdancecompany.com
An excerpt of my music for Taro is now on my Audio Samples page. Enjoy!
I'll be playing a couple of original compositions for the Lumiano as part of a fundraising gala for the MicroMuseum in Brooklyn. As always, more details will be posted here as the date approaches...
I've got a lot going on this month, so here goes:
First, a quick recap of last month: Niya Tey Soung premiered (scroll down below for more info on that) and my work with the Standing Ovation Musical Theater company came to a glorious conclusion, as I music directed and accompanied (on a laptop thanks to Realtime Music Solutions and their nifty Sinfonia program) 10 young performers (and a couple of wisened adult veterans) in a cabaret show about nothing at the Sanford Meisner Theater in New York City. (Soon to come: pics from that concert).
TARO in Hoboken: as part of the Sweat Outdoors festival (a very appropriate title considering the recent NYC heat wave), Taro (scroll down below for more information about that piece) will have another excerpt (featuing my music and sound design) premiered. The date is August 6th, the time is from 4-7 (Taro should go on sometime around 6pm), and the location is the beautiful Frank Sinatra Park in downtown Hoboken (NJ). I'll be there! (And stay tuned for more information about the upcoming Taro premiere at the Joyce SOHO...)
The WorkShop Theater Company presents the Samuel French Short Play Festival (A Second Look). In the mood for some one-acts? The WorkShop Theater Company (the same group that produced Niya Tey Soung) is presenting 5 short plays (one of which - Crossed Wires by Tony Sportiello directed by Kathy Gall MacGowan - I did the sound effects for). For more details (dates, times, tickets, etc.), download the flier here.
Finally, I present to you another show I am sound designing (and running the mixing board for): It's A Hit!, the (very) funny new musical by Beth Saulnier, Melissa Levis, and David Weinstein (the same trio that wrote The Joys of Sex which I worked on a couple of years ago) playing at the NYC International Fringe Festival (yes, it's August, so it is Fringe time again!) Guess which link to click on to find more information...
"What do you do, when Justice fails..."
Niya Tey Soung is a new crime drama by David M. Mead (directed by Arian Blanco) about a Vietnam veteran haunted by his past. This is a fully (and superbly!) staged "workshop" production at the Jewel Box theater of the Workshop Theater Company (312 West 36th Street, 4th Floor, NYC). The music and sound cues I wrote for this show combine two disparate worlds: New York in 1991 and Vietnam in the late 60's / early 70's. (And as you can tell from my audio excerpts, they were quite fun to combine).
If you're interested in seeing/hearing this all in context, come check out the production- while you can! (There are only 8 performances on Wednesdays through Saturdays from June 28th to July 8th; all shows are at 8 pm.) Tickets are $15 at the door or through TheaterMania. For more info, call the box office at (212) 695-4173 x4 or visit the Workshop Theater online.
What is Taro?
Well, according to coreographer Mariana Bekerman,
"Taro is a dance collaboration eventually combined with architectural design that seeks to identify what exactly is the evil eye and how does it physically create trouble thoughts; intensify fears and chaos, and social problems and illnessed claimed by others. By combining the two art forms together with music, Taro will bring forth this ideology of negative energy out into the open, allowing the audience to then question themselves about their own demons and dis-eases."
Spooky, eh?
If you're curious as to what eaxtly that means, well, come see for yourself! Taro will be performed three times this month:
All of these performances are parts of dance festivals, so you will see some fun excerpts of Taro (specifically, the 2nd and 4th movements, with bits of the 1st movement possibly as well) alongside pieces performed by other dance companies. St. Peter's College is at 2641 John F Kennedy Blvd (near the Journal Square PATH train station); Theater for the New City is at 155 First Avenue between 9th and 10th streets (nearest subway stops are the 2nd Avenue F train and the 1st Avenue L train).
The music for Taro is by both me and Benjamin Dauer (who records under the name Chimp Logic). Benjamin's music is for recorded electronic sounds; mine is for electronic sounds, piano, percussion, violin, and cello (the violin and cello parts being played by Elizabeth Bacher and Allison Seidner.) I'll post more details when I have them, and I'll post an excerpt of the second movement on this website fairly soon! And thanks for coming if you can make it!
Taro will receive its complete world premiere at the Joyce SOHO in September, 2006!
Now playing at the Philip Coltoff Center (part of the Children's Aid Society) at 219 Sullivan Street (Greenwich Village, NYC):
Here is a fun play for all ages- based on the books by Louis Sachar- featuring talking pigtails, a wandering cow, a teacher who turns her students into apples, and (well, this is my website, isn't it?) lots of my original compositions and sound effects.
Below is the postcard containing all the contact information for seeing the show. Have fun, and watch out for those dead rats living in the basement!
What is the Lumiano? A new art-instrument created by William and Kathleen Laziza at the MicroMuseum in Brooklyn, the Lumiano appeals to the inner Scriabins in all of us.
Think of it as an experiment in Synaesthesia. Or as a new representation of the Schoenbergian concept of Klangfarbenmelodie. Or as a whimsical electronic extension of a Cagean prepared-piano. Or as just a fun way to combine music and the visual arts. The Lumiano is a fully-functional 88-key piano with lights (and other goodies) built-in for an added visual dimension.
So, you're thinking, why is this on my website? Well, I'll be playing some of my compositions (as well as other work) on the Lumiano for a concert in January. Click on my Lumiano Page for more details!
Check out this flier for the concert!
In case you were wondering what Kabbalah was about, the details are still being posted here below.
Now playing at the Triad Theater on 158 West 72nd Street (off-Amsterdam Avenue), Kabbalah is "a Mystical CoMusical about the Nature of Faith". It is written and directed by Tuvia Tenenbom and presented by the Jewish Theater of New York.
Kabbalah features the talents of Emily Stern (Madonna ), Michael Shimkin (The Prophet Elijah ), Mario Golden (Chief Kabbalist Rav Yuda ), Adam Hayes (Schlepper ), Oliver Conant (Sheik Ahmed Yassin ), and Alison Richie (Woman/Calvin Klein Model ).
Sets are by Michael Berkowicz, Costumes by Elgie C. Johnson, Choreography by Kari Schroeder, and the Lighting Design is by... you. (Feel free to bring a flashlight; if you forget one, they will be provided to select volunteers...)
Showtimes are Tuesdays and Wednesdays at 9pm and Saturdays at 11pm. Tickets are $49 ($26 for Students/Seniors) and may be purchased by calling 212-352-3101 or through TheaterMania.com.
Now playing on this website: excerpts from the Original Cast Album of Kabbalah.
"Sacrilegious and blasphemous comedy with music...
"Effectively challenging human thinking."
Cool, huh?
The remaining show dates are
Dec. 3 and Jan. 28 peformances are at 11pm. All others, 9pm.
Enjoy!
Jane Ho had a great run. Check out the new listing on my Audio Samples page for an excerpt of my music from Jane. Yes, that is me playing the trumpet...
Jane Ho asks, "Love for sale...what price would you pay for a trip to paradise?"
Jane Ho stars Mikaela Kafka, Heather Male, Daina Michelle Griffith, A.B. Lugo, and Liche Ariza.
Jane Ho was written by John Pallotta, is produced by the Hudson Exploited Theater Comapny, Inc., and is directed by Arian Blanco.
I did the music.
Performances are on Fridays and Saturdays (at 8pm) and Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays at 7pm from November 4th through November 19th.
The Lion Theatre is on 42nd Street and 9th Avenue (410 West 42nd Street). Tickets ($15) may be purchased online at TicketCentral.com or by calling (212) 279-4200.
Enjoy the show!
Here at last is my glitchwerkz-abstract-electonic-noise-art-video piece. (It is in Quicktime format; size is 2.7 mb.)
If you're wondering what that means, well, here are the program notes:
recently, i received an email from my aunt in florida who is a relative newcomer to computer usage. the email contained an attachment of a photo of her and my cousins; however, in the process of sending the email to me, something in the attachment got corrupted (thank you aol!).
i tried opening the photo through the normal means (photoshop, etc.) with no luck. just for the heck of it, i decided to see if i could open up the photo using apple quicktime software. the result was far more interesting than a photo of my aunt and cousins: what i got was a minute-and-a-half long video containing the underlying text code that makes up the emailed picture. i immediately though: aha, conceptual video piece idea!
i then created a score for the video using the same text code, which i translated into a sound file (with the aid of some specialized computer music software.) all of the sounds in this composition were derived from this code and transformed to create a variety of pitches and textures.
rim at x is dedicated to all my friends and family members who have little or no computer experience and continually express their frustration to me when their machines do not work right.
oh yeah, as to the title: the resulting conceptual video kind of reminded me of certain sequences from a well-known film that you probably have seen, except my images are less high tech and more scrambled up.
enjoy!
Several months ago, piano student Amir Khosrowpour placed a flier on the bullitin boards of the school seeking new piano music by student composers to play on his recital.
So I sent him something (even though I am technically not a student and technically the deadline for submissions he posted on the fliers had just passed.)
And he liked it.
So here are the particulars:
Recital by pianists Amir Khosrowpour, David Broome, and Sam Westley.
Tuesday, September 20, 2005 at Greenfield Hall at the Manhattan School of Music, 8 p.m.
Music by John Slover, Christopher Cerrone, Amir Khosrowpour, A. Vincent Raikhel, Marcus Paus, Andy Cohen [yes, that's me], Ke-Chia Chen, and Scott Vollschleger.
The Manhattan School of Music is located at Broadway and 122nd Street (Northeast Corner) in Manhattan (the nearest subway is the 1/9 trains which stop at 116th street and 125th street along Broadway.) When you get there, ask the security guard where Greenfield Hall is. He'll probably give you better directions than I can.
Oh yeah, the concert is FREE. And I'll be there too.
So that's it. My appearance on NBC (as mentioned below) acounted for approximately 10 seconds of screen time. And because of the editing, my rebuttal to the the main point presented (about the key of the National Anthem) was largely diluted. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted. Thanks again to George Lewis and his team for the opportunity!
Oh, and for the record, the excerpt they played of my playing the trumpet was meant to demonstrate my point: that the key of G major is too low for the trumpet to effectively speak and make the Star Sapngled Banner shine gloriously. I have a feeling that this was lost on most viewers.
Last year, I posted an entry on my blog about what I thought was a misguided attempt to "change the key" of the Star Spangled Banner. By what can only be described as the serendipitous luck of Google, NBC correspondent George Lewis came across this site and asked me to appear on camera to explain my point of view! Like, how cool is that!
And even better, the segment (which also features me playing the trumpet) will air on the Today Show on the Fourth of July! Thank you, Mr. Lewis (and staff at NBC) for this great opportunity.
A couple of years ago, I did a fun noise piece for a program in NYC (sponsored by Vox Novus) called 60x60. The idea behind this was to have 60 different composers write pieces of electro-acoustic music with durations of one minute or less; the 60 pieces were then collected and put on a CD as well as a DVD (which included abstract visual imagery to complement the musical works.)
I wrote a little "ditty" for the project (which has been performed in such exotic locations as Bucharest, Romania and d.u.m.b.o., NY), and the next exotic performance location will be on Yellowstone Public Radio on Sunday, July 3rd. However, I'm not sure if my piece (entitled rim at x (rat mix)) will be played as part of the program. But if you want to check out my work anyway, you can now download an mp3 of it on my Audio Samples page. Enjoy!
A new show! I'm doing sound design for the American premiere of Ben Ellis's play "Falling Petals". "Falling Petals" is Confronting. Brutal. and Australian. (It is a very dark comedy set in a small town near Melbourne.) It is (wonderfully) directed by Mark Armstrong and is playing at the Wings Theater in Greenwich Village (154 Christopher Street just past Hudson St.) from May 20th to June 5th. Tickets are $15 and can be purchased through Theatermania (212) 352-3101 or 866-811-4111.
This past march, I had the wonderful opportunity to work again (as sound designer) with director Sonoko Kawahara as she staged a new play by Merrianne Moore entitled "The Queen Says Goodbye To Her Favorite." The play was about Merrianne's experiences as a student at the Beijing Opera School in China, and one of my favorite experiences working on the play was to get reacquinted with Chinese Opera music. (The play had four live musicians playing pipa ("moon guitar"), jing-hu (the ar-hu's little sister), baku (woodblock), shinai (kind of a cross between an oboe and a trumpet), and a wide assortment of Chinese Opera gongs and clappers.) Did I mention how much fun it was? Oh, and sooner or later, I'll have to get around to posting a recording I made of "Mei-Mei Karaoke Mix" on this site...
Boy, it's been forever (like, since last year) since I had a chance to update this website. (This is why I can never be a regular blogger, as my blog makes clear.) The two original musicals are going well, and the stage play is currently fund-raising for a commercial off-Broadway performance. Late last fall, I was able to write some really cool music for a production of The Cherry Orchard at the Connelly Theater in the East Village (in true East Village fashion, this was actually a production of The Cherry Orchard as told from the perspective of the butler Firs and with several episodes in the play told out of chronological order.)
I was also privileged to be able to write music and do sound design for the annual showcase of the Drama League New Director's Project, which let me work on four wildly divergent works by four up-and-coming directors. Details for the above productions are on my "Music for Theater" and "Sound Designer" résumé/bio pages. Soon to come to this website: mp3s for some of the music for the above. As always, feel free to drop me a line if you're ever interesting on hearing about my current projects (and don't want to wait to hear about them until after they're over!)
As fall is beginning, I'm working on several new projects: two original musicals, and music for an upcoming stage play. I'll reveal more details when I can figure out a better way to reveal them without jinxing the productions...
In the mean time, I've added a couple of new photos to the photo gallery... Enjoy!
So, it's nearing the end of summer, and it's about time I updated this site with what's really new with me. The Joys of Sex closed a couple of months ago (bummer!), and the touring shows are (mostly) off for the month, but I still have that chicken-thing going on. Here are the details:
Beware the Man Eating Chicken is playing at the Our Lady of Pompeii Church Demo Hall at 25 Carmine Street (Enter on Bleecker St. off 6th Ave.) in Manhattan.
Showdates are:
Tickets are $15 at the door, or order online at www.fringenyc.org
. I did the sound design, in case you were wondering.
Any questions? Or even better, if you're planning on coming, Email me!
Oh yeah, while I have this blank space to fill, I should mention that this play is a very dark comedy with many "gross" elements to it, so if you're a bit squeemish about fake blood, violence, and visual and aural depictions of bodily functions, be prepared...
What's on tap for me? As usual, I'm working on a million different side projects, but here are some of the more salient ones to report:
The Joys of Sex is now playing off-Broadway at the Variety Arts Theatre in NYC (14th Street and 3rd Avenue). I did the keyboard programming and helped with the music arrangements and sound effects creation. It's a very funny show, absolutely worth checking out!
Lots of Touring Shows, including the national tours of Oklahoma and Oliver!, and the upcoming European tour of Miss Saigon. The aforementioned musicals effectively provided my alibi for Fall of 2003.
This Year's 2004 Fringe Festival, where I will certainly be doing something, although details are a bit fuzzy right now (but these details somehow involve a giant man eating chicken...) (Note to grammarians: the lack of a hyphen in the previous clause was intentional...)
OK; here are my :
Spitting Daisies will get its first performance on Friday night at 8:25 pm. Tickets are $15 (cash at the door) and are good for the whole night (which lasts from 7pm to 11pm). Reservations can be made by calling (212) 769-7973 ext. 3.
Oh yeah, Spitting Daisies is a lovely romantic drama about a boy, a girl, a subway train, and some mutilated flowers. It is written by Kerri Kochanski and directed by Mikaela Kafka. I did the sound effects.
The Love Talker has been described as "An isolated mountain farmhouse is the setting for this eerie, supernatural tale that delves into the realms of seduction, superstition and coming of age. Two sisters must choose between family loyalties and the lure of the Love Talker. A battle is brewing..." It is definitely creepy. I did the sound effects.
As you may have noticed, I have made some minor changes to the visual layout of my website (especially noticible when viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer web browser.) This was intentional. I also have reposed the mp3 of the opening section to "Glamour", which had developed some (interesting but unintentional) glitches.
In honor of Gay Pride weekend, I have posted an mp3 (in the "audio samples" section) of a lovely duet I wrote this past February for two tenors and some wierd electronics as part of a musical-theater piece I did about love and cockroaches. The performers are Mark Ledbetter and Correy West. The song is called "Sweet Song (electro remix)". Enjoy!
(Due to space quota reasons, I have since removed this song from my website. If you are interested in hearing this song, let me know.)
At the suggestion of several people, I have changed the background texture for a number of these web pages so as to make the text more readable. Thank you to all for your very helpful feedback, and please keep the comments and suggestions coming!
I'm working (as sound designer) on an interesting new show at HERE this week. "Virgo Genitrix" is described as "a work for dancers with puppets [which] is inspired by legends of the female desert saints during the 4th century A.D. and loosely parallels the passion according to the Virgin Mary." This show is created and choreographed by Christopher Earle Williams and features the music of Guillaume de Machaut performed (live!) by the Anonymous 4. I've worked the A4 before, and it is always a pleasure to be able to work with them. The puppetry is fabulous (made in conjunction with HERE's Dream Music Puppetry program which is run by Basil Twist) and the choreography is well done too.
So what's new? Well, I've just started working at a new part-time job: playing piano for the beginning ballet classes at the New York Dance Alliance in SOHO. I'll post more details about this once I've done a few classes, and I'll definitely post any dance compositions that result from this exciting opportunity.
After a very busy schedule these past few months, I am now taking some time to work on several original projects (including an original musical or two). Here is what I had been working on the past few months:
1.) Standing Ovation Musical Theater's annual end-of-the-year showcase (April 2003). Standing Ovation is a privately-run after-school program for middle and high school students in NYC. The purpose of Standing Ovation is to give talented youngsters the opportunity to perform in a musical-theater showcase in front of parents, friends, and invited guests (who often include casting agents, producers, playwrights, and other people in the theater industry). The kids who are in Standing Ovation come from a wide variety of backgrounds (most of the students live in the Bronx/East Harlem/El Barrio areas and some have never performed musical theater before!) and are extremely fun to work with. I have been their musical director/accompanist for the past 3 seasons.
2.) Composing original music for a production of George Bernard Shaw's Mrs. Warren's Profession at the Looking Glass Theater (Feb.-March 2003). The music was written on synthesizers; now that I have some free time I plan on excerpting it into a classical composition (scored for two flutes and harp) entitled "House and Garden Music."
3.) Creating original sound design (and providing musical direction) for a play with songs entitled Broken Morning at HERE. This production also ran from Feb.-March 2003.
4.) Starting a new (full-time!) job as synthesizer/MIDI programmer for Realtime Music Solutions (a company based in NYC which provides "orchestra enhancement" technology for theater productions. (I started back in January 2003, and was kept very busy during the brief Broadway musicians strike in March.)
5.) Creating this website.
Now that all of the above projects are winding down (or have ended), I can look forward to working on new things. So check back on this web page every now and then to see what these new things are!
