NEXUS closing party

Well two months have gone by very fast at NEXUSradio (well for me as a listener and part-time contributor, but probably not for Bilwa and Nick and all the people that have been working hard everyday to keep it on air). Tomorrow is the closing party for NEXUSradio and it’s going to be off the handle.

Just to recap, NEXUSradio was a two month art gallery “installation” where they turned the gallery into a functioning low powered AM radiostation. They had a super wide range of on air and in gallery events, from chamber music, to DJs to live theater to comedy to talk radio. It was an honor to be a part of NEXUSradio and it’s sad to see it go. Maybe it will be back again someday.

The first thing I did at NEXUSradio, was one of the first events there; a string quartet recording for upcoming Gemini Wolf album and future Mikronesia project. You can hear the “string only” version of the Gemini Wolf song, The Music You Make - here. The other string quartet we recorded was a full version of “Daemon En Gauze”. That will be released after some production and processing for a full length album down the road.

Gemini Wolf did a small acoustic-y set for the Winter Solstice celebration. That a fun weird day with a fake fire place, live painting, and video. Megan and I were zonked, since it was the day after Festivus, but we did our thing.

Then a few weeks later we had earSnake day, with performace by Ben Fleury-Steiner, Baby Cowface and Carl Franke. It was also the long awaited premiere of the prequel to the opera, Pangaea. Solomon Slowburn and I did a performance of the Orson Wells type radio drama with narration by Solomon and music by myself of the creation myth of Pangaea. We have a recording of that, but I’m putting the finishing touches on a studio version of that piece which will be released on earSnake soon.

So thanks to Nick, Bilwa and everyone who was involved with NEXUSradio, it was a great event that expanded the minds and ears of people within the radio span of 1650 AM.
