Writing Samples

It would be misleading of me to claim that I have extensive experience in networked writing; because my tenure committee will focus almost exclusively on peer-reviewed print journal publications, I have focused my efforts on that domain.

With that caveat, here are three writing samples:

Interview on Networked Music Review, 3/11/07.

Helen Thorington interviewed me for the first in a series of interviews on the Networked Music Review blog. I wrote out the answers to a series of questions supplied by Helen, and we had a few additional e-mails back and forth, to create the content for the post.

The original plan was that people would ask follow-up questions via comments, and I would respond. Unfortunately, that has not happened with these interviews on Networked Music Review; most of the comments are reblog notices or are self-promotional in nature. I am hopeful, though, that the broader nature of the Networked book project's content will attract much more participation than has happened with this interview.

Swooping the Orchestra, in ACOAdvance, 2005.

The American Composers Orchestra asked me to write this brief article about my work Glimmer shortly before the orchestra premiered the work. Unfortunately, the orchestra's web site did not have functionality for user comments or other participatory mechanisms at that time.

Extreme Sight-Reading, Mediated Expression, and Audience Participation: Real-Time Music Notation in Live Performance. Computer Music Journal Vol. 32, No. 3, 2008.

This article on real-time music notation systems, an area which has some overlap with networked art, demonstrates my experience in writing an extended-length article overviewing a field, even though it is not networked writing.
