Exciting news! I have commissioned a piece for flute and Gameboy from Matt Payne of the chiptune band The Glowing Stars. Matt is not just a rock star, he’s a classically trained composer who just happens to be a killer performer as well.
I met Matt when I went to contribute to one of Jonathan Mann‘s song-a-day songs this June. Matt was making string and horn arrangements for Jonathan and I got to work with him a bit. A couple months later, we were playing Jonathan’s 1000th song-a-day show together. I saw The Glowing Stars perform live that night too and was blown away with their live act. That night, I left the Red Devil Lounge *determined* to have a Matt write me a piece for flute and Gameboy.
About a week ago I recorded some flute samples with and without vibrato so we’ll see how he uses those sounds. I can’t wait to play the piece!!
Check back soon to find out when I will be performing it!
