UPCOMING THINGS NOTABLE JAMS

 

the news around here:

May 3rd (Friday), 2013: 1:27pm

Big news this summer: Varispeed will be at Mt Tremper Arts in August presenting two jolly good programs, a new take on Art Jarvinen's Adult Party Games from the Leisure Planet and once again Robert Ashley's Perfect Lives. Very stoked to be bringing this to you fine people!

In the mean time, thingNY maintains a robust schedule, including a new piece we're writing, to be premiered in excerpts at Incubator Arts's monthly late night series, May-August. Dave & Woody's Chicken Slaughtering, LLC got off to a great public premiere last month, and we'll continue to drop nuggest of multi-media storytelling over here. And, serious this time, Why Lie? is making some real progress on our second record!

1/24 of the way through 2013. What's up? Varispeed plans for the summer & fall (check out these lovely people). Sweat Lodge collaborations with the Illegal Dads. A new recording of Untuned for 10 guitars coming soon. What's new with you?

What I may look like these days:

I am very happy to share a few new things. First off is the new album/compilation of tracks from the last seven years, Solo for Guitar. Downloadable at your pleasure. Second is a little tale of getting to the PATH train I wrote earlier this month. Readable any time.

Some real nice progress is being made on the second Why Lie? record, and some darn exciting shows in the coming months, including the second performance ever of my piece for ten unplugged electric guitars, a new SPAM concert from thingNY which I'm thrilled to be participating in, and more fun from Sweat Lodge and PPL.
