The schedule for the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville at the end of the month seems to be an amazing whirlpool of musical chaos in constant flux - in a good way! But I *think* they have nailed down the time for my talk: Sunday March 24th at 11am.

I'm finding a few things from The Abyss archive this morning... Here's a full-page ad in The Hollywood Reporter from the 1990 Oscar campaign. I wasn't eligible for an Oscar because "Sound Designer" was not an award category back then, but they did use my name in the promotion.
I was the sound designer on The Abyss, so I have seen the film many, many times. But it has never looked or sounded better than it did last night in the new restoration. Kudos to Jim Cameron & Gale Anne Hurd & everyone who worked on this restoration. The 125th St crowd in Harlem loved it!
