I have been accepted as a member of Vox Saeculorum, through which I have met a number of marvelous neo-baroque composers -- some of whom write music from a time even earlier than mine! I can mention Gianluca Bersanetti, who channels Scarlatti, Miguel Robaina, a French clavecinist who also writes beautiful (Germanic) trio sonatas, and Grant Colburn, an English virginalist, among others. It is an honor to call these people my colleagues.
I am also a member of the Delian Society, which is dedicated to tonal music (not necessarily baroque).

My latest venture is a completion of Contrapunctus 14 from The Art of Fugue. I am following the model of Indra Hughes, whose brilliant dissertation has opened my eyes to many ideas about the work, and who has kindly offered me criticism on my first draft.
