Premiere of Rotations Ensemble at Open Gate Theater
My new group Rotations Ensemble had our first performance on October 13 at Open Gate Theater! More info to come, but RE was formed to play music I’ve been cooking up based around a 1-3-5-7-9-11 Eikosany. I now have an electric guitar with moveable frets, which can play the microtonal notes I have in mind for this group. Much fun to come!
I also played accordion in Dave Tranchina’s Sextet. Below are the instruments I used for the night.

October 29, 2023, 6pm at Navel, Los Angeles
I’ll be playing Two of Pentacles as part of a showcase of cross-genre contemporary works by four different artists from LAPP’s ACCELERATOR Program.
Featuring: Future Human Support Positions by Chelsea Zeffiro, Untitled Sisters Project by Mireya Lucio, Two of Pentacles by Daniel Corral, and Object Permanence by Daria Kaufman. ACCELERATOR is a program of LAPP which builds a community of independent artists who are actively seeking to resource and develop a current project.

4 for 20 Chimes as part of Urban Birds 2023!
Synchromy presents the 5th annual Urban Birds, a musical experience for all ages that showcases local birds, live music, and artists of Southern California on May 7th at Pasadena’s Arlington Gardens and May 13th at the Audubon Center at Debs Park.
Exploring themes of nature and migration, this year’s Urban Birds will feature musical improvisation and sound-producing art installations created by Ashton Phillips, Carolyn Chen, Daniel Corral, Kelly Heaton, Cassia Streb, Tim Feeney, and Thadeus Frazier-Reed. As always, this family-friendly event includes live owl and raptor demonstrations by Wild Wings, crafting stations by local artist groups, an instrument “petting zoo,” and hands-on activities for all ages.
Come try out my chimes and listen to parts of 4 for 20 — a holarchical composition of mine in which rhythmic relationships mirror the just intonation intervals of the chimes in a meditative harmony study.
