Playing free improv set Dec 10 for FMRL – opening for Jamison Williams

Thoughts on this include my oboe, my Suona and/or Vietnamese oboe,  possibly my Shenai if I can make another reed…. Soprano Sax,  Arduino Drummer and Alto. Not sure I should really carry more than this. Thoughts?

Music Commission for Nashville’s Artober Festival!

I am thrilled to have received a composition commission from the Metro Nashville Arts Commission, the Bonnarroo Works Fund and the Community Foundation of Tennessee.

The call submission dictated creating a new work based on one of our many great public art installations in Nashville, TN. I chose Chris Fennell’s Tool Fire, a sculpture made of shovels, picks and other tools used to clean up after our devastating 2010 flood.

I played the sculpture with mallets and a bow, added bowed cross-tuned upright bass and recorded a rainstorm that came through during my work sessions to create Tool Fire Rain.

Link coming soon!
