Hello everyone!  It is late summer, things are really getting hot and humid (in New York City at least), and it’s time to catch up on what has been happening during the sunny months.  On June 13th I had the wonderful experience of performing at the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival (NYCEMF), directed by Hubert Howe.  Thank you for thinking of me Hubert!  I played Anamnese for flute and electronics by Hiromi Watanabe.  The video recording of the performance at Abrons Arts Center is posted below.

On June 21st I had the opportunity to be a part of Make Music New York, thanks to Dary John Mizelle.  For this event, he brought together Mariko Endo (dance), Cesare Papetti (vibraphone), Monika Haar (toy piano), and myself on flute to play his Metalsong III.  The flute part was originally a solo called Silverwind, which can be heard on soundcloud.  Mizelle himself performed on an instrument of his own invention which can be seen in the photographs below.  Click on them to enlarge, and hit the back arrow of your browser when you are done.  All photographs were taken by Carey Macarthur.  More photographs of this event can be found here.

Thank you for viewing!  Enjoy 🙂
