Show
I was asked to play on possibly the loudest piece ever: a dark ambient arrangement of a
newark under-underground hiphop duo piece called Dalek. The AntiSocial Music Conosrtium
are a bunch of swell cats whose take on music I admire: "new chamber music as the last
bastion of socially unacceptable sounds." Indeed!!!

Introducing the double quartet

A new group starring Joe Branciforte and Chris Botta...
Special guest starring Matt Mora
not so special guest starring me on the 5 string electric bass guitar
This is a cool new group blending squarepusherishness, more than one nod to the
grumpy men of the 20th century art music scene, but with a pop sensibility. But don't
take my word for it...

in Central, Hong Kong, where we thrice packed the theatre 10-31 to 11-1! We also closed
an arts festival at the newly formed jockey club arts commune.

traveling to Hong Kong to perform a piece written for us by composer Samson Young
entitled Hong Kong Exlpodes!: a city in conversation with Bach. But don't despair! for
