Scenes From Fatherhood

Cory’s one of the featured composers at the Electrowave Rocky Mountain Electroacoustic Music Festival in Colorado Springs! They’re presenting one of his pieces and the works of many other wonderful fine art and electroacoustic composers. Come party avant-garde supa geek style.

This year’s double album by Cory’s student ensemble at Stanford University — created and recorded in two deeply-focused weeks at Stanford by Cory’s Stanford Recording Arts Workshop students and Cory himself — is released. Always a diverse album of brilliant musicians, Cory never has any idea what will be on this album until the two weeks it is made with his wonderful Stanford students. Musicians and teachers! Find info and an application/enrollment link in the Teaching section of this website.

Cory’s annual avant-garde piece for his Seven Years Of Sensation Project is called “Empathy,” and will be released today. It’s both a deeply personal work about his own experience and a collaborative effort by his Stanford students — simultaneously purposeful and composed and a homage to John Cage’s “Musicircus,” which Cory played saxophone on as an undergrad for Cage himself in a performance at Stanford in 1992.

Cory teaches the famed Stanford University Recording Arts Workshop for his fifth year! An intense and fun two week program — all day five days a week for two weeks — where an incredible ensemble of international musicians creates a double album and supports each other in their work. You could be one of them!

Influential since 1896, all the SUWC’s members are female alumni, faculty, emeritae and spouses. Cory was asked to speak about his diverse career in music followed by an extensive Q & A.

Cory releases his new Doctor Noize Single & Video “1-2-3-4-5-6-7 A Song” with the City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, the Colorado Children’s Chorale, and jazz saxophonist Anton Schwartz — a preview of his upcoming album “Positive Energy! (The Music Of Doctor Noize)”…

Cory performs at a live avant garde multimedia music concert at the Center for Computer Research in Music & Acoustics (CCRMA) at Stanford University, where he teaches each summer.

Cory will serve as guest clinician and lecturer for a second high school choir directed by his former college student Ben Hizer.
