This is how we build a bridge
with Brady Lenzen, JC Sanford, Andy Flory
Kracum Hall @ Weitz Center for Creativity
Northfield, MN
(Loud)
This event is the capstone performance for a SEMAC grant, one that I wrote in order to bring musicians together from very different genres, performance practices, and aesthetics. Originally the idea was to meet, and play, and record, at first, then draw out of those sessions some materials I could use to build a graphic and prose score. What wound up happening was very different, though; Brady (bass) and I (drums) started to develop a vocabulary that didn’t so much care about what I wrote down on the page, or how I talked about it. That became a low-end-plus-rhythm core, sometimes angular and frenetic, sometimes driving and steady, over which JC (trombone) and Andy (electric guitar) found clever ways to sound like a million people, and also a psychedelic ocean, and angels, and digital banshees.

As music overheard, as image made light
Raisbeck Performance Hall @ Cornish College of the Arts
Seattle, WA
About:
For a long time I have wanted to create a sympathetic ear in a software instrument, a system that would encourage me to play and sing intentionally and with care. I also hoped it would support and reward that effort, in both sound and vision, as well as the efforts of listeners more generally. So I made a thing, in which vocal and keyboard improvisations drive software designed to analyze, filter, sample, and re-articulate them, then recombine and manipulate simple short videos of acrylic-painted color blocks. My 9-year-old watched it for 15 minutes and then said “DAD, this is ART.” He suffers no fools, so I think there is something to it?
Composition@SōSI is 10!
7pm / Lee Music Room / Princeton University
I am sō grateful for this concert celebrating 10 years of composition at the Sō Percussion Summer Institute.
My work will be performed by the mighty Sō joined by the mighty Clara Warnaar, a mighty student quartet, the mighty Jason Treuting, and then he and I will do a set of songs. Also a special PS at the end…be there!
So many songs @ Keepsake
Back to the artisanal cidery. 22 songs! Maybe 23 or 24, depending on how this week goes; I struck the “hard ones” but am feeling ambitious. I might even read some prose? Who knows? Visit them on the internet before visiting them in person.
LIVE@, KRLX
I am happy to have been asked to play on this here college radio station. Listen here.
This, now. (installed/performed) @ Carleton College
This, now
Music + video + performance, installed.
January 4-February 6, Hamlin Creative Space in the Weitz Center for Creativity
Monday-Wednesday: 11 a.m.–6 p.m.
Thursday-Friday: 11 a.m.–9 p.m.
Saturday-Sunday: noon–4 p.m.
Live performances every weekday at noon.
This, now makes a listening space for Andrea Mazzariello’s recent album, War Footing. Every hour, on the hour, listen to the album in its entirety, while video processing creates a dynamic visual world that responds to the music, differently every time. At noon each weekday, Andrea will perform live, turning the video processor loose on the sound in the room.
Mass / Hello and Maybe Goodbye release celebration @ Brooklyn Bound
In order to celebrate the release of Mass / Hello and Maybe Goodbye on Sō Percussion editions, I will play with Jason and we will play neither of those pieces. Also: Momentum and Kendall Williams!
20 Grand Ave, Brooklyn, NY
With Jason via the mighty DAMSEL @ SWC, Princeton (Witherspoon)
As part of our MASSIVE TWO CITY TOUR we play in Princeton, at the best cafe.
War Footing Release @ Pete's with the mighty DAMSEL
Damsel invited Jason and I to play some songs from make a wish then build a ladder at Pete’s Candy in 2020 B.C.E., C being COVID. We rescheduled it for now and also made a new album in the meantime, War Footing, that we are now releasing.
709 Lorimer, Brooklyn, NY
Solo show @ Keepsake
I’m playing for two hours (whoa) on Saturday, June 18, to celebrate the release of “Aspirational Gardening,” out everywhere on that day. Come to Keepsake in Dundas, 4pm-6pm, and be among, as my uncle puts them, “the cider plants.” They are apple trees.
Monobot @ La Follia Festival in Potenza (Italy!)
Alessandro Di Giulio will perform “Monobot” in Potenza, on a festival called La Follia (“Madness”). I’m on a concert that Alessandro has nicknamed “Folli deviazioni sonore” which means “crazy sonic deviations.” At the Museo Archeologico Dino Adamesteanu, if, you know, you happen to be in Potenza.
With These Hands (pre-premiere) and Monobot @ Palazzo Moccia (Bari, IT)
I am thrilled that Alessandro Di Giulio and Margherita Coraggio will perform an excerpt of With These Hands, a commission in progress that we’ve been working on together over the course of this year. It’s scored for “two musicians,” both of which play a keyboard instrument and sing. I’ve written the music as well as the text, which is in Italian and in English, sometimes in translation of each other and often not.
Alessandro will also perform Monobot, a drum kit solo of mine first championed by Jason Treuting and since performed many times, I am happy to report. Check Dan Piccolo’s recent album of the same name for a great recording.
Of and Between @ Rochester Fringe
fivebyfive will perform the work they commissioned, Of and Between, on a program entitled “Persevering.”
War Footing (Three) @ New Music Gathering
We (Brady Lenzen, JC Sanford, and I) are thrilled to be presenting War Footing, Three Person Version, at this year’s New Music Gathering, in Mears Park in St. Paul. Through some unholy magic the thumbnail image of this event is from the event, even though this is written as though it has not yet happened.
War Footing (Three) @ Littlejoy
We (Brady Lenzen, JC Sanford, and I) play @ Littlejoy’s Little Jamz series, on The Cow Stage, except that, full disclosure, I am writing this after the fact simply to keep records of such things, and can tell you that we actually set up on the ground in front of the stage for reasons related to acoustics and the idolization of Coachwhips. It will be (was) fun!
Of and Between on Performance Today... again(!?)
On The Internet and on radios, confirmed. This is very exciting and proves that fivebyfive can move and shake. Here goes, again, here.
Of and Between on Performance Today
On The Internet and possibly your radio? Of and Between, the piece fivebyfive commissioned me to write via a New Music USA grant, will be broadcast on Performance Today, which airs today at 10am EDT. 1.2 million listeners, they say... I am thrilled and look forward to listening with the other 1,199,999 of you.
This is the official listing.
