duo seXny(www.sexnymusic.com) was started in New York City in 2013 by Swedish percussionist Patrik Samuelson (the se in seXny) and trombonist David Whitwell (the ny in seXny). Sharing an interest in new music, the group was coached at Manhattan School of Music by acclaimed violinist Curtis MaComber, and immediately began their first project, a commission for composer and Swedish Fulbright fellow John Chittum, resulting in their first EP, "TDRM: The Posthumous Music of John Chittum", available on iTunes. The duo seeks to strengthen and broaden the relationship between the musical communities of Stockholm and New York City, serving as ambassadors and bridges for new collaborations across the Atlantic

2nd movement [Adventure Time] (WIP)

Performed by Sharra Wagner

Agni Sakshi, translating as "fire witness," is one of the central ritual acts in Hindu
weddings. Agni, the god of fire, acts as a divine witness to the marriage and as such he receives sacrifice and, in turn, purifies and blesses the union. He is also the god of light, smoke, the fire of the sun, and even the flame of the human spirit. This life-giver and destroyer is the discerner of truth, the mundane and unique, and the cycles of life that occur every day, every generation, every eon. This piece is a dedication to Agni, this witness of life. While I'm not particularly religious, I've always found the idea of a witness watching our life and our personal evolution to be fascinating and somehow touching. Seeing the good and the bad, the beauty of life that we all share, Agni is an impartial witness, an unmoved mover.
