I've been posting iPhone photos from Berlin to my Tumblr - check 'em out

New and Formless Work
In one week I'll be performing a new work for organ and sine waves at the Labirinto Festival in Calvi dell'Umbria while in residence at the Art Monastery. I'm not sure yet what form this performance is going to take yet. I'm currently thinking that it's going to be the first step in a series of works titled Do You Remember ... that I've been sort of vaguely planning for the last six months. that would involve the multitude of toy organs I've been tuning as well as sine waves and sustaining instruments (strings/voices ?).
However, I'm not sure what the tuning of this baroque organ is going to be. It's been described to me as "strangely tuned" - and this is by early music people. I'm actually sort of looking forward to the challenge of having only one day with a massive instrument that I don't really know how to play, in a tuning that could potentially be anything, and trying to create something beautiful from it. I tend to get caught up in the theory of my work, often at the loss of initial spontaneity, so this will be an interesting, and hopefully rewarding, prospect for me.
It will be recorded, so hopefully those of you who can't make it to Italy (and, i'm guessing, that's probably most/all of you) will be able to hear at least a bit of what I've done.
My London
Last night, after wandering circuitously around Elephant and Castle, Oscar helped me create my own map of London as I have experienced it the many times I've visited.
Yay maps.
Summertime Travailler
I’m on my way to Europe for the month of July. I’ll be visiting London, Berlin, and Calvi dell’Umbria where I will be in residency at the Art Monastery and creating a new piece as a part of their Labirinto festival on July 25th.
It’s become a bit of a summer tradition for me to escape New York for a month or so, and it’s one I always look forward to.
There are a lot of exciting things coming in the next few months for Avant Media and for myself. I’m really excited for a few big announcements and projects that we have in the works.
I hope you will be too.
