Roulette Artist-in-Residence 2018

Hi Internet,

Save the dates! February 27th, presenting my solo work Yajna and new music for Elder Ones and June 17th, a new vocal ensemble work and debut of my voice and electronics duo with Lea Bertucci, both 8pm at Roulette (509 Atlantic Ave, Brooklyn)!

I'm excited to be chosen as an Artist-in-Residence at one of my favorite venues in New York. Roulette has been a huge supporter of my work, from the very beginning. From one of my first real gigs in New York at the Greene St. space with Seaven Teares back in 2010, the premiere of Darius Jones' The Oversoul Manual with the Elizabeth-Caroline Unit, a collaboration with the late great Muhal Richard Abrams, a performance run of Robert Ashley's final opera CRASH and my Emerging Artist Commission in 2014, which gave birth to Elder Ones! Roulette has presented some of the most important concerts and collaborations of my career and I am so indebted to them in helping my cultivate my voice as a performer and composer. A special thanks to the Jerome Foundation for making it all possible. I'll premiere my solo work Yajna on February 27th, with new music for Elder Ones and a new vocal ensemble work + duo with Lea Bertucci on electronics on June 17th.

Hope to see you there!
