New York ensemble thingNY and Phoenix-based Orange Theatre are devising a new work of music-theatre centering around memory and maps, a surreal book of coordinates, click bait, tangents, and a fresh take on the classic American road trip. In January 2016, the groups met in Orange Theatre’s art space to create a radio play, and this summer their collaboration continues as a two-week residency on Governors Island. Come out and see what we’re working on.
Presented as part of Paul Pinto and HERE Arts Center’s 2017 Residency on Governors Island.
Delighted that my 2016 work Bandwidth (rev. 2017) for cello and electric guitar will be performed by Ashley Walters (vc) and Jay Sorce (elec gtr) at the Continuum Music Festival in Memphis, as part of a Nief-Norf Festival partnership.
Presented by Blueshift Ensemble in collaboration with Crosstown Arts, Continuum is a festival of collaborations among musicians and artists of diverse genres from Memphis and beyond, bringing to life unique performance experiences in the historic Crosstown neighborhood and juxtaposing performances by contemporary chamber music ensembles such as Nief-Norf and chatterbird, with blues, rock, and hip-hop artists, like Don Lifted and Rob Jungklas.
