I head back to the woods of Oregon funded in part by a powerfully flexible Open Artist in Residence program by Art in Oregon. I'll be working further on the opera. It's now in the stage of filling in ensemble music, and adding minor subtle tweaks to parts of the libretto to give the character arcs a magical sense of intertwine with each other and with the audience. 

It's a delight to spend focused time with my characters, sounds, and instrumentation again. I enter a world.
