Had a blast talking about my work & upcoming shows with Greg Scharpen on his KALX/Berkeley Arts in Review program yesterday. We actually spent ANOTHER 30 minutes chatting out in the entry room after the show.
30 minutes, archived at https://kalx.berkeley.edu/archives/ & available until 25 Jun 2026, after which you should be able to find a copy on my website.
Curious what you think.

Gregory Scharpen's a well-informed & insightful interviewer and I'm SO looking forward to being on Arts in Review this coming Th, 11 Jun, noon-12:30, Pacific Time. 90.7 FM or https://kalx.berkeley.edu/
We'll talk about my performance cartography practice, my four upcoming Bay Area shows, & I'll bet f-oldin' money he'll prod me to think about my work in new ways, which is the best outcome of any question & answer session.

Seven days & 1250 miles ago CAST presented the premiere performance of the piece #ShahrzadTalebi & I put together for #LineUponLinePercussionEnsemble. Here's a brief touchdown & liftoff in Brussels. Lovely street grid, also where mutual friend & stellar vocalist, #SarahGraceGraves, is now based.
This map animation was pre-recorded; tonight at #WaveArchive, #Tucson, w/musicians #JeffreyGordonEvans, #HannahJoyce, & @detritus, I'll return to a live improvisation format.
One point's not a line, one date's not a tour.
On 9 Apr I'll perform at Guild Cinema in Albuquerque w/Kenneth Cornell & Clifford Grindstaff. Been in the Guild's audience but never on stage; thrilled to share it w/these two.

Post-Austin/CAST I'm touring #ASynesthetesAtlas through AZ, NM, & CO. First up: Sat, 4 Apr 2026 in #Tucson @ #WaveArchive, a loaded program w/locals #JeffreyGordonEvans, #HannahJoyce , & Steev Hise (@detritus ) in various configs.

maps - geography = labels & icons (w/apologies to Niklaus Wirth).
Projection surface @ #dadaLab is 4 screens wide: 2 at back, 2 on sides. For my collab w/ #ShahrzadTalebi I created maps that fill ⅛, ⅕, ¼, ⅓, ½, multiples thereof, & full screen.
First viewing in situ; needs tweaks before rehearsals & Sat premiere but pleased.
