Looking very much forward to the new adventures, community, and experiences waiting for me in San Diego!

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

I’m utterly thrilled to announce that I’ll be joining the composition faculty at UCSD as assistant professor starting this academic year!

It goes without saying that I’ll miss dearly my community at Boston Conservatory, who, over the past 5 years, have supported me so much, have helped me grow as a teacher, who I have learned so much from, and who have encouraged me to become ever-more myself. It’s meant the world.

@McCormackTim composes music that makes time feel like it’s passing slower. Jeffrey Arlo Brown speaks to them about work, life, and reckonings with mortality.

So excited & honored to be profiled in @vanmusicmag !!! Thank you Jeffrey Arlo Brown!

“…noise acts maybe less as the architecture of the nest than the feathers within it, the soft barrier between body and disease and home and world that makes all of it a little bearable.”

[VAN Magazine @vanmusicmag]

“Listening to this music is like looking at the ocean and noticing that the foam from the breakers is neon yellow.”

The composer Timothy McCormack on connecting music to an altered body, facing mortality, and community building through compositions.

Affectionately, unofficially donning Ty Bouque, Will Yager, & myself the Nan Trio, thanks to Nan Shepherd, whose gorgeous book "The Living Mountain" factors quite heavily in the workshop process of "deep terrane (something moves)"

Heyyy, all those tracks i've posted this past week? They're all from one concert, and when listened to together in sequence, they make something quite beautiful! https://t.co/70PffbOIjb (w/ @noisyandnosy )

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

We played the pieces without break, each one starting nearly immediately after the previous one ended. It was a really special concert experience, and I hope assembling the live recordings into this playlist gives people who weren't there some sense of it.

‘nestbuilder' performed by Ty Bouque (@noisyandnosy) is up on #SoundCloud https://t.co/VG2dEvApdv

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

...maybe listen to this in the dark... maybe listen laying down on the ground...

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

Absolutely THRILLED to post a recording of the premiere of "Seated at the Throat," a solo work for my beloved Ty Bouque - @noisyandnosy - years in the making... https://t.co/DXce1xMkIM

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

Ty's physical embodiment of this piece in performance was so thoroughly captivating & honest & present... the piece isn't really itself until it's inhabited by Ty. Their presence is a deeply powerful but vulnerable thing... magic without illusion.

a walk together through the forest in the dead of night, only the sound of our careful footfalls to help us navigate….

From Nan Shepherd: “the thing to be known grows with the knowing”…

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

Over the next week, I’ll be sharing the entire recent Baltimore concert with Ty Bouque & Will Yager!

First up: “deep terrane (something moves)” - it is a vulnerable & volatile trio in which we are tethered to each other with spider’s threads…

… Oscar Bianchi’s ‘Pathos of Distance’ & Timothy McCormack’s ‘Your Body is a Volume’ both stunning and strange (wow)…

[Timothy McCormack @McCormackTim]

very thankful for being part of Ty Bouque’s “Preposterous Reading” project! What I assumed would just be an interview turned into a tender portrait. Thank you Ty, as always, for everything (⁦@noisyandnosy⁩) https://t.co/Tq7s81XDko
