3/11 DeVotchKa

The last two weeks have a been a glut of great music! — In early March, I played with DeVotchKa at the Music Box to a sold out crowd. A huge thanks to Shawn King, their drummer and chief operator of the trumpet for inviting me along for such an incredible night. You can find photos of the event at the LA Weekly, and the LA Record. Going between sound art and working with bands like DeVotchKa and Beauty Pill has been a real joy for the last few years. I hope to to it more.

Wild Up, a new music collective played at the Bootleg Theater a few nights ago — performing works by Tom Johnson, Art Jarvinen, Ravel, Andrew McIntosh, and Andrew Tholl; I filled in on electric bass, electric guitar, and trumpet.

Coming up!
– I’ll be giving a lecture on architecture, context and musical explorations in space at Pomona College on 3/23. This lecture will include a number of site-specific performances with the percussionist Colin Woodford.
– On 3/25, I’m curating and performing at a concert of feedback music by Mark Trayle paired with a lecture on the use of feedback in landing systems for spacecraft. You can find more information on Machine Project’s website.
