I had the wonderful opportunity to study filmscoring at NYU for 12 days. Not only did I learn an amazing amount about the technology of scoring, but I had the good fortune to be able to wander around this incredible city during non-class times. Check out my scored film clip www.wendyloomis.com/bio.html.
Being in NY brought back such wonderful memories of visiting there with family - especially with my Mom - as we would go to Bloomingdale's every August to buy the latest fashions for the school year (Pittsfield was always shocked at what I would wear each fall, but then be wearing those styles 3 years later :) Wednesday matinee Broadway shows, lunches at Sardi's, the ticker tape parade for returning astronauts, the U.N., the Museum of Modern Art ... all great experiences.
This time I hung with some great folks in Washington Square park - lots of musicians and creative types to spend time with including the lovely Natasha (my roomie) from Argentina and the equally lovely Girardo from Columbia. I also had dinner with former SF resident artist Stevenski, a great day with my friend Patty McCabe who drove in from Philly, took the sunset Circle Line cruise, and went to see the amazing production of "Memphis".
Nights I spent walking in all directions - from Ground Zero and Battery Park to Central Park in the north - from the East River to the Hudson - through Chelsea, the meat-packing distriction and the Lower East Side. Played 'Top the Peaks' at an open mic, heard some amazing poets and the Nuyorican Poets' Cafe, enjoyed the beautiful sculpture in Madison Square each evening, and lived as a student for a while ... Thanks everyone for such a great time!
