An online article about my springboard just posted on April 4 in the Daily Egyptian, the newspaper of Southern Illinois University. I was interviewed by Pat Sutphin when I performed in the Outside the Box Music Festival, on Saturday, April 2. You can look and listen to it in the multimedia section. Jay Needham curated the evening of radio art and surround sound works in which I performed on that evening.
7:30 Saturday, April 2 I will be performing live in an evening of radio art and surround sound works at the Chris Moe Theater, Communications Building at Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois.
At 3:30 Sunday, April 3 I will give a lecture about my work in sound. Visit the Outside the Box 2011 website for schedule of renowned guest artists: http://otbsiu.com/

The Chicago Scratch Orchestra (CSO) follows up its debut at the Green Mill with a new set of scores . The idea for the “Scratch Orchestra” was conceived in 1968 by British avant-garde composer Cornelius Cardew (1936–81), with fellow composers Howard Skempton and Michael Parsons. Its significance is provided in Cardew’s “Draft Constitution”:
“A Scratch Orchestra is a large number of enthusiasts pooling their resources (not primarily material resources) and assembling for action (music-making, performance, edification).
The word music and its derivatives are here not understood to refer exclusively to sound and related phenomena (hearing, etc). What they do refer to is flexible and depends entirely on the members of the Scratch Orchestra.”
Julia Miller (guitar, electronics) and I perform live on “Something Else” hosted by Philip von Zweck, on WLUW 88.7 FM. This live broadcast will feature our music and interviews about our work with group member, and composer Christopher Preissing (flute, electronics), phoning in from Nebraska. Copy and load this link into your mp3 player to listen to WLUW’s live stream. Or, visit wluw.org.
Hosted by Philip von Zweck on WLUW 88.7FM since 1995, Something Else is Chicago’s longest running radio show devoted to seldom-heard and experimental, avant-garde musics, sound art, works of long duration (no excerpts!), and other less classifiable things that just don’t have an outlet.
Recorded at Enemy on April 7, 2010.Visit KuroNekoMusic to listen and watch more of the sessions with Brent Gutzeit, Michael Hartmann, and Aaron Zarzutski.
The 2nd Annual Guthman Musical Instrument Competition ended Saturday, February 27 at Georgia Institute of Technology, in Atlanta. Severe snow storms in New York made it difficult, if not impossible for some entrants to make the trip. I didn’t win a prize, but I did have a highly rewarding experience, some of which I can share with you here in the form of video, images, and links.
Steven Litt auditions the CrudBox for the 2nd annual Guthman Musical Instrument competition at Georgia Tech. This is a self-built instrument using solenoids, piezo pickups, and sequencing with an Arduino board. Out of eight finalists Steven was one of the four prize winners. The other winners were Tomas Henriques, Keith McMillen, and Loud Objects. (more…)
