Bushwick Project for the Arts

So the show for 6.21's MakeMusicNewYork event was great. Got to meet some talented musicians (Chimneys), and curators of a great new space. It's called Bushwick Project for the Arts. It is new. It is great. It will grow into something magnificent!

Don Pedro

The 6.17 show at Don Pedro was... A SUCCESS! Aaron and the Burrs, Beast Make Bomb, and Female Demand were all amazing people and music makers. Next show: TOMORROW Monday, (6.21) at Bushwick Project for the Arts (304 Meserole) at 8:00. Free Admission:)))))

In Bb 2.0

Today I was shown something really awesome. In Bb 2.0. I recommend starting with row 1 column 3 (the spoken part) and adding layers from there.

Lake Johnson

Hi. Josh and I will be returning to Lake Johnson this Friday for a 10:00pm show. 258 Johnson Avenue, off Montrose stop in Bushwick.

EVENTs

So the past two weeks I took part in two really fun shows. The most recent of the two was a house party at Lake Johnson: the home/venue of hip-hop extraordinaire NYLE (watch his ingenious video, "Let the Beat Build"). I played some new songs and Josh debuted some great visuals. Beat-boxing aficionado Andrew Flockhart made a guest appearance as did Alejandro Ghersi. Lots and lots of fun. Lots.


The other event was an exhibition of sound art at NYU's Steinhardt Art Department. "Three Part Sound Art" was a new event curated by Eva Jäger and Olivia Murphy. I'm hoping it will develop into a series. The first event went a little something like this:

7:30 - Acoustic Repitions and the Human Beatbox

w/ Andrew Flockhart and Rioux

8:00 - Improvisations in Freeform, Minimal, and loop-based Musics
w/ John Swank and Rioux


9:00 - Rioux w/ visuals by Josh Cabrido

OK and here's a link to "Lost Hold". Geoff and I will be working on some new material shortly.

Lost Hold - Produced by Geoff Strasser

Here's a new track called "Lost Hold". It's a collaboration between myself and DJ/progammer, Geoff Strasser. For the most part he engineered and produced the track, and I can't speak highly enough of him. I'm sure we'll be working together in the future. You can check out his label, Purple Bird Music here!
