I am so incredibly excited to have been awarded a 2024 Artist Support Grant from the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis to create and produce a new work for the percussion duo low pass.
I’ve already been hard at work on the piece, titled Reticulations, which features no-input mixing, glass, ceramics, metals, and improvisation as a means to explore unstable systems.
I already have performances lined up for early next year, so be sure to stay tuned!
This weekend, The Victory Players will be premiering The Nightwatcher for Flute, Clarinet, Percussion, Piano, Violin & Cello at the Holyoke Media Studio. It will receive two performances, one on Friday, May 31 and another on Saturday, June 1. Both concerts are at 7:30PM EST.
Hey all—tune in Thursday, 1/18/24 at 7:00PM EST for my Composers Now IMPACT premiere! It would be great to see you there in the chat! Alongside an extensive discussion of my practice, will be the new music from an upcoming project!
More info can be found here.
Ensemble Decipher will perform at Roulette Intermedium (509 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11217) on October 23rd, 8:00PM. Doors open at 7:30PM. The program will include works by Bora Yoon, Erin Rogers, and Lyn Goeringer. It will also include a collaboration between choreographer and dancer Hiva Sedaghat and ensemble members Niloufar Nourbakhsh, Robert Cosgrove, and Taylor Long.

In one month I’ll be performing my work Astraeus (hopefully live) at the 2023 Australasian Computer Music Conference // ElectroMUSE concerts. The schedule of the conference is currently still TBD and will be held in a hybrid format. More details will be coming soon! Hope to see you there on strea.

Also on the show are sets by Sideband and Warp Duo. Then we move on to The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, where we’ll be premiering works by Erin Rogers and Lyn Goeringer, as well as performing Mari Kimura’s KISMET, Margaret Schedel’s, Union of Workers, and Joseph Bohigian’s Stone Dreams.

PMF Schedule
It’s been such an honor and joy seeing how much life my work, Politics I, has been getting! Coming up, the piece will also be performed at the SEAMUS national conference here in NYC in April! I’ll also be giving a SEPARATE presentation on the work, describing the participatory sonification system that underpins the work and how that enables the audience to engage, concretely, with a politics of aesthetic preference. Get those THUMBS READY to text and get ready to compete over the shape of the work!
More details, including date and time of both the performance and paper presentation, will be coming soon, but even more importantly, I can’t wait to see all the amazing performances and interesting research that everyone is doing!
Truly honored to have several works included in this year’s Performing Media Festival! First up, an audio-visual rendering of Astraeus, from my upcoming album, Timegivers, will be installed at the South Bend Museum of Art in either the Museum’s Project Room Gallery or the Weikamp Gallery from 1.14-3.19.23. Then, Politics I will be performed during the festival, March 9-10!
