Hi Sandra,

Thanks for finding me and giving me an update on everyone! I’m so thrilled to hear that TBE will be performing my piece again this Friday. Glad to know it continues to be shared and enjoyed. Please extend my thanks and best wishes to everyone at the choir, to Colin, and your new conductor.

Dear Tiven….wasn’t all that hard to find you! I’m writing as a choir member of Temple Beth El, Aptos, for whom you wrote V’Shamru! It’s nostalgia time! We are singing it this coming Friday, April 27, for Israel Independence Day service. You’ll never guess who our accompanist is for this set….Colin Hannon, who says you were a student of his way back then. He and Sheila Willey, beautiful and amazing soprano/conductor, are our team right now (and they are married to each other). You may have been in touch with Leta Miller along the way and found out that after 14 yrs she “retired” from TBE to have more time and flexibility for her other endeavors, including 3 grandchildren. Leta/Alan’s daughter, Rebecca, is in the top 5 slots (out of 200+ applicants) for consideration for conductor of the Santa Cruz Symphony this coming year as the present conductor of 20 years retires. I’m glad to see you are still conducting and I’m not only singing in TBE choir, but two others. Music….the universal language! Take care!

The robots seem like they are having a pretty good time

Thanks DMR. That means a lot coming from some one who’s been around such great music for all his death.

Love this, so hard core. The return of the descending scale at the end brought it all together. The staggered entrances of each instrument was magnificent. Especially the piano entrance. And the Sighing effect with the violin, really kick ass!

Thanks, that’s quite a compliment. However it all starts with the writing when it comes to podcasts, films, and other sorts of storytelling which composers occasionally get invited to (on average about 3 days before the release date). The hard work John and you put in at the beginning set the stage for said singing scenes.

Anyway this site is where you’ll be able to hear me more and you just in the comments, so stay tuned.

Your music could make any scene sing, Tiven (even the poorly written ones… one). If we could do it all over again, I’d write less and have you compose more.

Wow that’s cool, glad you liked it. I might have to go watch 2001 again now.

I felt like I was Dave Bowman flying through the Star Gate while I was listening to that.

Cool.

Tiven, the net absolutely is incredible, more so than most understand.

I work in the blogging side, and we’ve barely scratched the surface with what’s possible now, never mind what’s coming very soon.
