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!

I am thrilled to have ConCentrics 3.0 installed at Nashville’s Adventure Science Center. I have recoded it to include 4 Wii remotes (which I encourage you to use all at once) and it now includes additional shapes and fills if you hit the A buttons on each unit.
The White remote controls the triple theremin and the color wave.Tag with #concentrics so I can find you and if you have a group going, let me know and I will try to meet you down there.
Interactive installations celebrating
Women in Music Technology
April 21st at Georgia Tech’s Ferst Center
On April 21 I will be visiting Georgia Tech to install several
interactive projects at the Ferst Center for their Women in Music Technology event. My plan is to bring the robotic drum, Constellation and ConCentrics. Please tell your Atlanta friends!I am making plans for a beginning creative code workshop here in Nashville also so please let me know if you might be interested. I think it will be late April but I’m still firming things up.
Thanks for tuning in and Happy Spring!

I will be speaking about grants and also demo-ing a project or two at the Tenn Craft meeting this Thursday. Come say hi if you make it! You don’t have to be a member to attend.
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!
Many thanks to Joseph E. Morgan for his review of Eclipse!
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.
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.
chatterbird has commissioned me to write a multimedia chamber music piece. It has been quite the challenge and adventure to write for a small chamber group and also to strictly be a composer (and VJ) this time. I have really enjoyed the work and am looking forward to the premiere on Thursday December 7, 8pm at Ingram Hall @ Vanderbilt University!
Please come out if you can and if you have any soft lit and colorful glow sticks or other not very bright glowy devices please bring them. I’m hoping to have a part for you! Feel free to email me with questions!
A big thanks to all of you who came out to play with Constellation! It was so much fun watching people dance and twirl and play with this project. It am honored to report that it won a Best of Nashville 2017 award from the Nashville Scene!
