Had a blast talking w/Greg Scharpen on his KALX/Berkeley Arts in Review program yesterday.

Archived at kalx.berkeley.edu/archives/ until 25 Jun 2026, after which a copy'll be on my website.

Curious what you think.

I find myself having to switch git branches between pieces during a performance. Conceptually it's equivalent to retuning or fitting a capo to a guitar but the consequences when it's done wrong are far more catastrophic.

I’m uncomfortable stretching the truth. Wrote my bio to say “North American performances” but usually change it to the more accurate “US” before posting.

No longer.

Scoped out #TallerSociedad today, where #FernandoFeria & I’ll perform #ASynesthetesAtlas, Th 6 Feb. 1st of 2 #Guadalajara/#GDL shows!

#ASynesthetesAtlas is usually 1 long, structured, collaborative improv but this'll be shorter compositions, solo (maybe a guest or two), + an invented instrument.
