I received an invite from Kansas City Oasis, a secular humanist congregation, to serve as the featured musical artist and keynote speaker for the November 27 Sunday service.

Daphne Oram was a phenomenal mid-century British electronic composer, an early pioneer of electronic music, and the inventor of the Oramics Machine, a device that translated drawings into sound…

KCUR, Kansas City’s NPR affiliate station, posted a piece highlighting Coloratura, and the response to the article has been amazing!

I love to watch people’s reactions when they first encounter Coloratura. Expressions range from confusion, wonder, glee, amazement, skepticism…I even saw ‘mild disgust’ this weekend. My favorite reaction though, is gratitude.

I’m still recovering from Maker Faire last weekend.Our booth was packed! We estimated that approximately 300+ people stopped by despite the heat, humidity and strong winds. We had a non-stop crowd for most of the day…

Life has been quite hectic lately, in the best of ways. Maker Faire is next week and my days have been full of non-stop, action-packed adventures, working to fine-tune and perfect every component of this project…

I’ve been accepted to showcase Coloratura at Maker Faire KC this year!
