Finish editing Psalm 39b (four pages total), take care of part of the financial arrangements for the Job revival, and bestow upon the Theoreticians a double dictation of Philip Glass's Satyagraha and Akhnaten, plus some orchestrational riffs. Lunch run and coffee with Doug, lingering to edit all four pages of Psalm 39c in the lab, yet record all three instrumental tango renditions of Orlando di Lasso with the Garbage Band, rather than Tritone Ensemble, tooling reverb at an excessive 75 and adding "Capital Orchestra Kit A-C."
Psalm 39 "I Will Take Heed" - A

returning home for more video madness: to wit -- San Francisco Cabaret Opera version of San Rafael News: III. Death Catch.
There's finally enough order in the adjunct library that there are clear aisles north-south and east-west forming an L with respect to the access from the rest of the house. As for the rest... well, it's definitely still an ongoing project. And out the door, blazingly/sunnily toasty inland, we go to call San Anselmo postoffice to arrange for rendezvous next week, pick up the August 2010 issue of 21st-Century Music in Berkeley, review SFSound's solo/duo acoustic/electric concert in dramatically dreary/frigid
San Francisco (specifically the Community Music Center), with
Kyle Bruckman,
Matt Ingalls (Hadley evidently otherwise engaged),
John Ingle, et. al. (report in 21st-centurymusic.blogspot.com Monday, Commuter Times on Friday, and by September 1 at 21st-centurymusic.com and in print) -- sitting with Patti Deuter and friend, and chatting with Adam Broner and friend, returning through heavy 37 traffic, to do progressive-score videos for
San Rafael News: III. Death Catch and
X. Sylvia Dryer, posting on YouTube. Surely somewhere in there, do first two pages of publication-preparation of Symphony 2: II (part 2) -- a lot of twos... and make ready to post Antigone: XVIII. It's You on Facebook. Oh, yes, also check the Goat Hall mail for Harriet (brief hands-hands free call over the bridge, and some financial greetings upon arrival) and catch up with Miriam while her all-baroque internet radio station is playing an intriguing early-clarinet roccoco Stamitz piece).
