Tomorrow night!
There are a bunch of interesting performances coming up in the next month or so. This Saturday April 20th I will be performing my solo bass and electronics music at Jonathan Moritz’s Prospect Series. Jonathan will be making stew so it should be warm, inviting atmosphere. This Tuesday April 23d, I have the honor of performing with Subfloor featuring guitarist Chris Cretella and drummer Dave Parmelee. I will be performing on electric bass and some modular effects. We are opening for the brutal band Slobber Pup with Jamie Saft, Joe Morris, and Balazs Pandi. This will be a very fun show.
Early in May I will be performing a duo set with the virtuoso percussionist Bill Solomon at The BIG ROOM. We will open for Secret Keeper, the duo with guitarist Mary Halvorson and bassist Stephan Crump. Finally on May 18th, I will perform my solo bass and electronics music again in Brooklyn, but this time at the Douglass St. Music Collective. More details on that soon.
Also, my new solo album is very close to being done. Look for an announcement within the next month.
Great conversation/interview!

Quick demonstration of sending CV signals from SuperCollider using the multitouch pad. X position determines filter cutoff and y position is resonance. If I had more CV cables I could use multiple fingers to control more parameters.
I will be performing my music for solo bass and electronics this Saturday in New Haven, CT. My new album of this music is coming along very nicely. I am looking forward to stretching out a bit on these pieces. Bassist Shayna Dulberger’s quartet will also be playing a set. She is a fantastic player and a great composer as well. I’m looking forward to sharing the night with her group.
Somehow after messing with my electronics tonight for a couple hours I ended up with this.
