Artist-in-Residence Reporting: Better Farm, betterArts

/
By Mike Sperone

Hello! I am writing from the beautiful location of Better Farm in Redwood, NY!

I am in my second week as artist-in-residence at the BetterArts program here. It is great! I have written about 10 minutes of music and plan to write at least another 10 minutes, for glockenspiel and computer.

Yes, I have done quite a bit with that set up, but before this residency I hadn't written any serious, fully composed pieces for this particular instrumentation. This Friday will be the premier of all the music I have/will compose(d) during these two weeks, I hope to get a recording so I can share with you. If not, then I will do a "studio" recording after I get home.

I'll post pictures as I get them "developed."
