For consideration for the Borealis Festival in Norway in March – they wanted solo pieces of less than a minute long, and as I almost seem to specialise in the miniature, it wasn’t too hard to find something – even though I only found the call at about 10pm and the deadline was today. Thank heavens for email submission! So I’ve sent Egg the Eighth (one of the 2 by 4 two-part inventions) and the second Whitman song off to them – with the Festival so soon, I guess I won’t have long to wait to see if they like them!

A bonus with this is that I get to strike another thing off my 2010 goals list. Woot!
