Seeking Clarity @ Eyedrum
I’ll be joining the Atlanta Improviser’s Orchestra to present a first workshop performance of the musical score for Seeking Clarity—a larger multimedia performance and book project by Alexandra Lakind, Aaron Walker, and myself investigating underground water pipes and how such hidden systems manifest private property relations and clean (or not) drinking water. To learn more, read Alexandra and I's piece from last year, Reconsidering the Aqueduct.
The concert will also feature conducted improvisations from the Orchestra!

Solo bass & video
I'll be giving a solo performance of double bass & video on Friday, Oct 25th at Sunview Luncheonette in Greenpoint, Brooklyn within the traditional territory of the Lenape and Canarsie. This performance is one iteration of ongoing work over the last several years focusing on water infrastructures’ socio-cultural and historical complexities.
The evening will also feature a duo performance by John McCowen (clarinets, recorder) and Cleek Schrey (hardanger fiddle).
This event is celebrating the recent release of a new solo album (recorded and mixed by John Dieterich of Deerhoof) and book (co-created with Alexandra Lakind and Aaron Walker, with contributions from many others). Both music and book are available via Astral Spirits or at the show.
Doors: 8pm
Music: 8:30pm
