21 MAY 2013

After a bit of a break from this site, and after spending some time in Singapore playing with the SSO, I've returned to Melbourne, and have some fun things coming up. 

The biggest is the second concert as part of my ANAM Fellowship. 
WRONG ANSWERS will be taking place on June 3rd at a beatuful warehouse venue right on the Merri Creek, He & Eve & The Big Apple, at 1/177 Beavers Rd, Northcote.

The night will include music by Morton Feldman, Eres Holz, Helmut Lachenmann, Rebecca Saunders, Abel Paul, and Elliott Carter. After a set of notated music joy, stay for a set of improvised music with Jenny Barnes, Jon Heilbron, Jon Smeathers, and myself.

Entry is $10, and beer and wine are for sale too.
