6 months isn’t really that long to update your website right?
Goat: We’re working on a new record! We’ve been working hard on new music and will be recording this summer. The new record will be available on Seattle’s new record label Table and Chairs in the fall. in the meantime come check us out (and get a glimpse of some of the new music) on May 6 at the IMP fest.
Burn List: A new quartet I’m working with and its really great. Me on tenor, Cuong Vu on trumpet, Aaron Otheim on keyboard and Chris Icasiano playing drums. Its a unique group and we’re doing all original music. Come check out a few gigs on April 22 and April 30. Look to the right for more details.
Uncle Pooch: Pooch just got back from a sucessful South by Southwest appearance and we’ve finished tracking a new record! It sounds friggin great too. Scott Colburn got some really great EWI sounds and I’m really looking forward to hearing the finished record.
Composition: My percussion quintet will be recorded this spring and I’m excited to be co-producing the recording. Check back here for a few sound bites… I’m also working on a new piece for chamber ensemble and hope to have it finished by the fall.
Cistern Project: In September I’ll be doing a dual bass clarinet project in the Fort Warden Cistern with my good friend Jesse Canterbury. The Cistern is one of the most unique acoustic spaces on the planet. We’ve come up with some compositional frameworks that utilize the specific acoustic characteristics of the Cistern and I’m really looking forward to a week underground! I’ll have some sound up here as soon as its available.
Visual Art: I’m still having a ton of fun making a mess in my basement. I’ve moved to more painting but still have a lot of collage going on. I’ll post pictures soon.
Thanks for reading and drop a line if you feel like it.
