Kevin O'Connor is an amazing aerialist and emerging choreographer—he also worked with me last year by trying to get my two left feet to dance for my Incredibly Deaf Musical. We work well together so when he asked me to compose music for his new aerial project with 6 aerialists, I said yippie! Then I asked, "how long should it be?" Answer: 20 minutes. "How long do I have to create it?" Answer: 3 days. Yikes!! But I did it, using a combination of found sounds, recycled compositions, and quick decisions, and I'm happy to say it was a wonderful project. Plus I met Susie Williams, Kiepoli Calnek, and Justin Carty who are all working on my new show at the Zipper. That's showbiz, folks...
