the weave abides
Ahoy, ahoy from the desk of the weave, better known as Dave Weaver, and perhaps best known as le connard. I have the honor, it appears, to be the first student of music 620 to post here. I am in my first year of the doctoral program in composition and am hoping to make digital techniques a part of my repertoire. The other grad students will be sick of this introduction already--I know I am sick of making it--but...I did my undergrad at Swarthmore College where I earned a degree in physics and also studied composition with Gerald Levinson. After that, I spent three years in Philadelphia doing research in cell biology (I'm still not quite sure why). As suits my likely future as an academic, I have broad interests but am only capable of producing narrow and esoteric work. To set my sights higher than this would be self-delusion, so I'll say that I hope to gain enough knowledge in this course to make sounds that few will enjoy and fewer (perhaps none) will understand. (Another perhaps key piece of my biography to mention is that I was voted the most sarcastic member of my high school class, hence le connard). Truly, though, I'm quite excited to have, as the RZA would say, mad toys to make noise. Cheers my dears and good luck.

Over the past 3 years I've
Over the past 3 years I've been organizing an art exhibition with fifty artists from or coming to Cornell. I'm tired! I've been up all night writing project descriptions for the gallery patrons' edification. If you see me yawning in class, it's not the material...I love notation and therefore computers...I'll be awake after the closing date at Cornell (Sept. 29th). Here's the short press release if you'd like to join us:
Working Frameworks is a cross-disciplinary/cross-institutional/tri-state art network. Each of the fifty participating artists’ work will be on display at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, the Knowlton School of Architecture, SkyLab, the Upstairs Gallery, Columbus, OH, and Columbia College, Chicago, IL. The exhibition opens at Cornell on Friday, September 15, 2006 at 6:00 pm.
One will circumambulate the opening event. The Arts Quadrangle lays the passage.
