heads up – I’m throwing down a rare-ish solo set next Monday, March 22nd, at Zebulon in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. I’ll be sandwiched by sets from Rivers and Joshua Convey. Scheduled for 9p. Hey, love to see you there.
Fluid Radio
A mix I created recently for the wonderful Fluid Radio site is live today. Please listen & enjoy….
This mix traces a range of the contemporary forms of music which interest and inspire me. I am looking to weave between styles and genres (a gap that sometimes is awfully narrow), following a thread of acoustic sensibility that shifts from piece to piece, whether or not there is great difference or similarity from moment to moment depends on perspective. This is a collection of tactile music, rendered by hand, tape, machines real and virtual, forced into motion by these musicians.
The image is from mpld’s performance w/Bryan Eubanks, excepted on this mix.
