Live Buchla performance at Slingshot Festival 2024

a new Buchla modular techno performance for the very first Eklektik Elektrik showcase~!

thank you a thousand times to Xav for curating, arranging, and hosting this show, also for opening the night with a wonderful set.

Marteka Fair performed on this lineup as well and gave us a propulsive, hi-level, forward-listening show. 

I was gratified to perform my new Buchla set alongside them. even brought the saxophone out of unofficial retirement specially for this show! don't get used to it. 

LOSO was a great venue to perform in - good equipment, very good sound, great lights by Casey, and great staff, thank you all!

this is an improvisation performed live in mit's wmbr radio station. i'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to give this performance at the historic station, and am particularly grateful to William for bringing me into the fold and sharing some of the amazingly well-preserved history of wmbr, as well as some very interesting musical ideas!

my performance on the Buchla 200 and Music Easel for Vibra DC on March 13, 2025. Had a great time running it back in a venue that has a lot of personal history for me, and heartily enjoyed the diy vibe and out-of-this-world energy during the show~
