Somewhere Else w/ The Ultraesthetic. 

The first edition of Somewhere Else was be a very special one-- the entire two-hour show is 100% the Ultraesthetic's original solo material. What's more, the entire first hour or so is brand-new solo material which had not yet been heard by another living soul. Written, recorded, and arranged over the last two months, this work represents both the birth of a new direction and a logical continuation of previous efforts, both solo and collaborative.
