Sound Bite: Ian Battenfield Headley – Musicworks Spring 2012

I’m thrilled to be part of this issue of Musicworks featuring John Kameel Farah, Philip Glass, and a “Make Your Own Sequencer out of a Cigar Box For Just $30!” tutorial! I love that I was able to flex my intellect when putting this together. My article is an interview with Musicworks’ first annual electronic music composing contest, awarded to audio engineering wunderkind (I dared not use this hackneyed term in my article) Ian Battenfield Headley! My only regret is that I wish I had more space to include Ian’s cultural anecdotes on his trip to Beijing’s MusicAcoustica conference. Maybe I’ll add some of the notes later on.
