Biography
Randall Woolf was born in Detroit. He discovered classical
music for himself in college, having spent high school
in the usual garage-rock bands. He studied composition
privately from 1982 to 1987, taking 3 years of counterpoint
and harmony lessons in the Schoenberg tradition with
noted microtonalist and jazz visionary Joseph Maneri.
he studied orchestration and composition privately with
David Del Tredici. In a moment of weakness, he entered
the Ph. D. program at Harvard in 1987, and escaped as
quickly as possible, in 1990. In 1989, he was a fellow
at Tanglewood, studying with Lukas Foss and Oliver Knussen.
He resides in Brooklyn with his wife, pianist and ranteuse
Kathleen Supové.
His music ranges from the purely traditional classical
media such as string quartet and orchestra to the entirely
electronic and theatrical, though he is happiest between
these extremes. He is frequently performed throughout
the united states by groups such as the Seattle Symphony,
Pittsburgh New Music Ensemble, the Paul Dresher Ensemble,
Bang On A Can/SPIT Orchestra, Northern Kentucky Symphony,
California EAR Unit, American Composers Orchestra, Fulcrum
Point, twisted tutu, Music at the Anthology, Basso Bongo,
Cleveland Chamber Orchestra, Kansas City Symphony, New
Millennium Ensemble, Dinosaur Annex, Boston Musica Viva,
American Baroque, Dogs of Desire chamber orchestra,
Northern Kentucky Symphony, Meridian Arts Ensemble,
and the Society for New Music, among others.
Mary
Harron and John C. Walsh,
filmmakers
A Canadian, Mary Harron studied English literature at
Oxford and began her
career as a rock journalist in New York during the punk
era. During the
1980's she worked in British television and directed
many short films and
documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4. In the early
1990's she moved back
to New York and began writing the script for her first
feature film, I Shot
Andy Warhol, which was released in 1996. Her second
feature, American
Psycho, was released in 2000, and she is currently finishing
a film
for HBO about the iconic 1950's pinup girl Bettie Page.
A graduate of NYU's film school, John C. Walsh premiered
his first movie
Ed's Next Move at the Sundance Film Festival in 1996.
The self-financed
romantic comedy was bought and released later that year
by Orion Classics. Walsh's second feature, Pipe Dream
was released theatrically in 2002. The comedy starred
Mary-Louise Parker and Martin Donovan. Walsh is now
preparing a new picture to star Sigourney Weaver entitled
Due Date.
Harron and Walsh live in Brooklyn with their daughters
Ruby and Ella.
