It feels like winter is approaching again here in the Northeast United States. And I was very happy to hear recently from Sergio Lopez-Pineiro about a wintery project he has completed with co-designer Nicole Halstead. Olmsted’s Blank Snow was an effort to change the snow-plowing practices in Buffalo, New York’s public park spaces to transform their winter landscapes in creative and thought-provoking ways. The project included making a short video to document the experiment and Sergio wrote to let me know that he has included my composition “1” from the Ambient Nouveau series as the soundtrack to the video. You can check out the project description and movie with these links

My thanks to Sergio and I hope others will make further creative uses of my music.
