I’m in Los Angeles for the first performance of a new piece (UNstasis) that I wrote for the Definiens Project as part of their C3 2010 Commissioning Project. It’s a quartet for oboe, bassoon, violin and cello and I’m excited to hear what they do with it.

The concert is 8pm on Tuesday, March 20 at the Ivy Substation in Culver City. More info is on the Facebook event or Definiens website.

Big week!

There’s a lot going on this week in music land. First, The Carnegie Custodians are playing tonight at Kupersmith (49 Clinton St. – LES) sans David Whitwell but with the addition of my good friend/the once and future roommate Joe Chernus on guitar. Rootin. Tootin.

Then, following that up, there’s the 6th and second-to-last (!!) installment of Don’t Say Shit In Front of the B-A-B-Y, the super fun (Hyper FUN!?) series run by Aliza Simons. The show starts at 8PM, and I’ll be playing some early musics and newish musics with Amirtha Kidambi starting around 10:30. 40 West 86th St. Top Floor – NO JERKS ALLOWED!

And finally, The Sweat Lodge has a show, Winter Sweater, on Sunday at 7:30PM at Exapno. We are playing some brand new tunes and some reworkings of our other material. This event is part of the Composers Now Festival.

Many things to see! I hope you can make it to one of them.

Here’s a video from The Sweat Lodge‘s SWEATronics show this weekend at Exapno. It’s a new thing for accordion and Max/MSP (live synthesis, not live sound processing). I’m still working on it, there will definitely be a more defined version of it some time soon, but in the mean time:

This post coincides nicely with my friend Melissa Zett’s Etsy page featuring her work as an artist. She wrote the wonderful poem that provided the text for this song. Check it out here.
