This happened! It was great. A raft of articles followed the project launch, plus two segments ran about the radio station and my students’ project Music for Animals, on KNKX radio in Tacoma. We are still talking about doing another episode, maybe in the spring. Currently we are off the air as we restructure our programming and schedule. But we’ll be back, with new live broadcasts and a project by students from Whatcom Middle School! And the whole set up will be installed in the Western Gallery as part of this years Faculty show. So stay tuned.
My piece at Jack Straw is finally up and running properly. What an education! I learned so much about wiring, Ableton and I finally sonfied some data and it’s inspired me far more than I imagined. I really feel that when I play the data points it’s like I am hearing the forest. The chords are all 4th and 5ths and sharps. So jazzy then moody. Like nothing I could have put together myself. I’m really hoping to show the work again with new data and a more dialed in set up. Those projectors are just hanging by a thread. I’m really grateful for the support of this residency. It’s brought me back. Covid took all my creative energy and redirected to my teaching. Now, I’m busier than I’ve been in years!
I’m playing this show next week @Make.Shift.Art.Space with a few really wonderful, generous folx. And playing at Jack Straw on 3/3/23. More updates to come!
