I already feel like this space is much more like a community than any other social platform I’ve been on. Thank you all for sharing your work, thoughts, processes, inspirations, and encouragement! It means the world these days.

lovely couple of days in Oslo workshopping new material with @jetorrence for a new project next month.

Here, Charley Wilcoxon's Solo No. 7 from The All-American Drummer (1945)

Slow-mo prep of Walter Zimmermann’s percussion solo from 1981. Tasty music 😋. For a program reflecting on place and its erasure, together with solo works by Hanna Hartman and Gloria Coates #drums #glockenspiel #erasure #contemporarymusic #experimentalmusic

A gentle reminder that there's a water hole in #Namibia with a 24/7 #webcam and it is awesome.

At home, we call it #GazelleTV

#Taranaki becomes the third natural feature in New Zealand to be granted legal personhood, following Te Urewera in 2014 and the Whanganui River in 2017. That designation means the geographic features gain the legal status of a person, ensuring they are treated with respect and protection.

“Today we affirm what we have always known – our [mountain] is, and never was, a crown asset – it is our [ancestor], the living, breathing embodiment of our identity … as Taranaki.”
