nothing is happening.

Sure, that will always be a massive overstatement if you apply it literally.

Slow day at work today. In fact, you could say that it's so slow that it's not moving at all.

I use to wonder, jokingly, if traffic could be so bad that cars actually start going backwards.

But other than work, there have been a couple of interesting things that have transpired, most namely:

the recording from the April 14th concert.

So, let's play a little number game:

The concert was on April 14. This CD has 14 tracks on it, and the duration is 40:14.

So, 4-14 : 40:14. Interesting, isn't it?

Anyway, Chelsea VandeDrink, assisted by Asher Mandel [both audio students from Webster], did a wonderful job on the recording. They put a couple of mics on the piano, but the unusual thing that they did was put up some really nice microphones out in the audience. This helped to create such a huge sound for the recording, b/c the sound of me playing on a full-scale piano in a large church is huge as it is, but to have it captured so well is really exciting.

All in all, I'm quite pleased with my performance. The energy on this recording is really something!! It seems to draw you in, and you want to hear what happens next. It's a fun listen, and I don't know how many of those there are in the realm of solo piano.

It sounds like an ocean liner or something. It's so huge-sounding!

So, anyway, I've been listening to that and trying to sort out what to do with it. I've definitely got some ideas...
