I re-orchestrated this and added a Baritone Sax line that I am now very attached to! Very fun playing with #4WAKO – the 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer small ensemble. We opened for #paalnilsen-love’s Large Group which was absolutely terrific!
many thanks to Unknown Vincent for his great documentation
Looking forward to playing some tunes with Roger Ruzow and 4WAKO in Atlanta at Gallery 992! We start at 9 opening for the amazing Paal-Nilsen Love Large Unit.
I will be a guest artist with Roger Ruzow’s 4th Ward Afro-Klezmer Orchestra on Wed June 13. It’s been awhile since I have played free jazz and I am really looking forward to it. Roger and I played and recorded together a number of times with Gold Sparkle Band and as a duet back years ago in Atlanta and Chicago.I remember having a lot of fun on live radio as well on WREK. Excited to be joining him!

A newly expanded version of my Wii remote drawing composition is at Nashville’s Adventure Science Center through May 13.
I developed the code to include 4 remotes instead of the usual 2 and there is now an option to fill in the circles and square animations. I am liking the improvements!
If you post any pix please tag with #concentrics so that I can see your lovely artwork!
After intermission Robbie Lynn Hunsinger’s Eclipse was performed. Hunsinger’s work “draws on traditions of free improvisation, Appalachian fiddle techniques, and contemporary classical influences” to create a programmatic collage accompanied by visualizations projected on the screen behind. From the strange instrumentation (music box piano, Tibetan singing bowls) to eerie electronics, the performance was mesmerizing.
The full article can be found at this link.
It was an amazing evening! I may have programmed too many knobs to control…or just enough. It’s hard to say but controlling visuals and sound input cues with a chamber ensemble is pretty thrilling.
Eclipse went very well and I hope to have some video up soon.
Here is a link to the wonderful Critic’s Pick from John Pitcher at the Nashville Scene which came out the day of the concert.
I had a lovely time talking with composer and Classical 91.1 radio host Kara McLeland! She has just published an article about Eclipse.
Many thanks to @91Classical and @karamcleland.
