RESCHEDULED! I’ll be doing a talk about Alvin Lucier’s early work based on archival research done at the NYPL-FPA, drawing from my chapter on Lucier in The Composer’s Black Box. Then, Daniel Fishkin and Victoria Keddie will perform an early archival compositional sketch! Super excited for this one! Thanks to Marcia Bassett for hosting!

Honored to have been interviewed by Jon Leidecker (aka Wobbly, legendary musician and current member of @negativlandland ) for the long-running @kpfaradio show Over the Edge! In signature style, our discussion is woven through a three-hour collage of music, some of which was made by the main players in The Composer’s Black Box, and all of which is connected to the topics & threads Jon traced through our discussion. I couldn’t have asked for a more generous and generative interlocutor! Link in Bio 📻
