Friday 4/29 6:30pm at Denver Art Museum

Hello blog-readers,

Just a heads up, if you're in Denver a week from Friday... I have a few performance events scheduled as part of the "Untitled" Series at the Denver Art Museum. My 35 minute silent film Etude 2 will be projected on the massive ceiling of the museum during the exhibit. I will also be teaming up with the incredible soprano singer Emily Sinclair for an interactive performance piece called "Open Score". We will be performing together from a giant score that is composed by the audience during the exhibit (gulp). Also, if you stick around for the party afterwards, you may hear my composition Saxy Dream being performed at the reception.
