On Christmas Eve I received an email from Tom Schipper, a young (18 years old!) composer in the Netherlands who found my image, “Birdsong” on the internet. I won’t even go into the improbability of that – but of 1,000’s and 1,000’s of images, he found “Birdsong” and wrote inquiring if he could use it for a project he was working on in school – he wanted to use it as the coversheet for a composition he created called “Aviary.”
I checked out his website, listened to a selection from “Aviary” and gave him permission to use the piece. I can’t tell you how impressed I am with this young man. He asked for permission! He understood that usage would not be free. Plus, he is a remarkably talented composer. At 18, he definitely has his **** together. I am sure he will be very successful following his passion.
