My composition Stranger has been selected in the 36th Bourges International Competition Electroacoustic Music and Electronic Art 2009 in the category New Practices of Performance.

Here is the program.

My composition Stranger is accepted at the Sound and Music Computing Conference in Porto, Portugal. I will perform a live interpretation of the composition on Saturday July 25 in Concert #7 curated by Nicolas Collins. Here's the full program.

So what's new since my last post? My son Castor Abel ter Linden was born on June 8! Needless to say he dictates my daily schedule at the moment...

Also some new reviews of my work appeared: on Stranger, Whistle Pig Saloon, Fury and OfficeR's latest album Recording the Grain.

Out for now, changing dipers.
