Happy New Year! While 2024 has gotten off to a rocky start (fell under the hammer of the COVID “Eris” variant & its endlessly lingering aftershocks) I’m happy to report a couple of positive developments:

In February I’ll be back in Los Angeles for the first time since that great Human Resources show in 2017 playing at a newly christened series at 2220 Arts & Archives helmed by all-timer Carlos Giffoni under the No Fun Productions banner. Incredible bill, with Gregg Kowalsky, Religious Knives, & Hive Mind; not to be missed! Still putting together/picking up the pieces, but I’m thinking of attempting a software-controlled “one-instrument” performance (see below).

Very glad to be able to share the year-in-the-works “Feedback” compilation on Jimmy Joe Roche’s Ultraviolet Light, assembled by Todd Barton & Joe, featuring Todd, Jimmy, Dan Deacon, Dani Dobkin, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Doug Lynner, Toshimaru Nakamura, Sarah Belle Reid, Ryan Gaston, and myself. My piece, “The Blues Scale” was composed last year from a series of guided improvisations on the “Blue” & “Grey” 1960s Coupigny systems (the same used by Pierre Henry for the “Corticalart” series & François Bayle for elements of “Erosphere”).

The gorgeous, eye-popping cassette edition & its digital component are available either together or separately via Bandcamp:
