Good friends the wulf. are having their inaugural fundraiser. Please consider donating. They go out of pocket on literally everything, charge for absolutely nothing, and are definitely one of a kind in the LA area.

I just updated the live page with information regarding two upcoming shows, one at REDCAT, and the other at the Hammer. Otherwise, I am hard at work on a bunch of new projects, shedding a lot on saxophone, and planning some cd projects…more on all of this as I figure it all out.

Various news:
-the experimental music yearbook, an annual web-journal/music festival (which i co-curated with John Hastings and Michael Pisaro), has finally launched. it can be viewed here.
-my laptop ensemble, better than future, is performing this friday at the CEAIT Festival at REDCAT. for more information, go to the live page.
-some time ago i was asked to write a piece for the CalArts Orchestra. i finished it recently, and have put the score here. i believe it is to be performed in May.
-also recently finished four duos for a commission from Machine Project, as part of their residency at the Hammer in Los Angeles. more on this as it develops.

more to come.

Here is some video, from our recent Issue Project Room concert, of David Kant, Mike Winter, Quentin Tolimieri, Aaron Meicht, Phil Rodriguez, and I performing Douglas Barrett’s “A Few Rooms.”

I finally have all the documentation for “snow” that i want for the time being, and have posted everything here, including a rough recording of a beautiful performance by TRANSIT (who commissioned the piece). ive been wrestling with the score for something like four months now, and will post one last revision of it shortly. im still awaiting the performance and/or recordings from a handful of new pieces/recent concerts, so more new/recent music is coming in the future.

I posted all of the documentation i was able to get from the exhibition of my installation, “quarters,” at Issue Project Room here. also, information about better than future, my laptop ensemble with Scott Cazan and Elisabeth McMullin, as part of the CEAIT Festival at REDCAT (curated by Mark Trayle) can be found on the live page.

Here is extensive information about an upcoming event im part of in new york.

Upcoming events:

-lots of new music/new projects.

Here is a nice article, written by Michael Pisaro, detailing the beginnings, and conceptual apparatus behind, the wandelweiser movement. its a lovely article documenting an ongoing large body of powerful work in experimental music.
