Phrase lengths
Still have some work to do here, but it was fun hacking together a Processing program to test out phrase lengths as they relate to the overall structure of a composition.
Appointment Reminder: Drunk Doctor at Proper Saké on Friday
Looking forward to trying the Nigori saké at Proper Saké in Nashville Friday night when I play a solo set for banjo and electronics. FMRL is presenting the event which also features Drunk Doctor. Nigori seems about right: unfiltered, slightly cloudy, a touch more texture…

Creative Improvisation Summit: Minimally Disturbing, Lvmber and More
Tomorrow night Jack Wright rolls through town again with his pants leg rolled up and Ron Stabinsky rolled into the mix. They’re playing together as Minimally Disturbing. Also on the bill is a duo of Scott Bazar with drummer Charles Pagano and a new incarnation of Chris Davenport’s Lvmber project. Lvmber features Davenport on drums; Will McGavin, didgeridoo; LaDonna Smith, strings; and myself, electric guitar and electronics. Opening is modular synthesist and former student, Gabe Rosser.

Saturday at Rhizome DC with Insect Factory and Rambutan
Happy to be playing at Rhizome in Washington DC for the first time this weekend.
Insect Factory, Holland Hopson, Rambutan

Rhizome DC
6950 Maple St NW
Washington DC 20012
This will by my first time sharing the stage with Jeff Barsky (Insect Factory) and a welcome reunion with Eric Hardiman (Rambutan). Rhizome looks like my kind of place–great concerts, residencies, exhibits, youth programs, and DIY workshops on everything from electronic instruments to fermentation to visual arts. In that spirit, I’ll be performing Crow Chases Red-tailed Hawk–a newer piece for invented instruments and live electronics– along with other works. No Appalachian banjo this time out.

My Dad saved this workbook for me. There’s no date inside but the fonts suggest early 1990s. #ArtsEntrepreneurship
