A lovely review of my current installation TRACINGS at the RAW:Gallery of Architecture & Design was published this week in UPTOWN magazine. Read an online version of the piece here.

The show runs until May 25, and i will be sitting in the gallery on fridays from 12 – 7 PM if you’d like to come by and say hi, or discuss the work.

My new multi-channel site-specific sound installation titled TRACINGS will open on April 20th at the RAW:Gallery of Architecture & Design in Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada. I am absolutely thrilled to be launching this work here in my hometown and hope that those that are in the city can make it out to experience the work.

The work will be on exhibition from April 20 – May 25, for more information about the work & the gallery see the facebook event here or gallery website here.

I have just returned from my recent trip to Japan, where i had the most incredible three weeks filled with wonderful shows, great people, excellent record shopping, incredible food and continuous creative inspiration. There are some new pics from some of my shows (duo with Tetuzi Akiyama in Tokyo and solo in Kyoto) on the photo page and there is also a video of a collaboration with Jerry Gordon, Tim Olive and dancer Yangjah at MIIT House in Osaka up on vimeo that you can watch here.

In other news, some releases are out to kick off 2012! Lynnaeus’ Hydra is a new trio CD with Jamie Drouin and Lance Austin Olson released on the lovely Infrequency Editions. The album is a limited edition of 100 and can be purchased through their website here.

Also, i had the very great pleasure of being a guest artist on the brand new Oren Ambarchi album, Audience of One on Touch Music (UK). This stunning record is something to behold and includes an incredible roster of guests that have me in extraordinarily good company, including, Eyvind Kang, Jessica Kenney, Joe Talia, Janel Leppin and of course Oren Ambarchi! You need this record (out on CD now & to be released on LP soon)! info

There are some photos and a short video online now from a recent performance in Winnipeg. A solo set and a trio with Tim Olive (JP) and Jeffrey Allport (CA) at aceartinc. Thanks to Robert Szkolnicki for the beautiful work! http://rszkolni.blogspot.com/
