Cinefest and Temple Gallery

I’m getting back to live performing this week after a few months of no Mikronesia shows. It’s been a very productive couple of months in the studio and I can’t wait to share all this new music with the masses. We’ve still got some work to do on the Gemini Wolf album, tentatively titled, Repetition Brings Relief. We’ve got some more overdubs and mixing to do, but we can see the finish line for this project. There are dozens of other Mikronesia tracks and compositions floating around my hard drive. Probably after the Gemini Wolf album, I’ll finish most of those up and organize them into some kind of release.

Here’s the info about the shows next week. I’m still not quite sure what I’m doing for either show, so both with be highly improvised, which is always fun! For the Monday night show, I’ll be doing my best to make all my digital stuff fit a silent Buster Keaton movie from the 30s.

The Friday night show should be a very exciting culmination of the work I’ve been doing with the Perpetual Mvmt<>Snd dancers, sound artist Bilwa and collaborating with some of the best improvisers in the city, Alban Bailey, Gene Coleman and Helena Espvall. Plus we’ll have videos from the brilliant John Phillips. This may be the last big multi-media / dance / artwork / music event I get do with Bilwa and Emily before they leave for Europe in the fall.
