Our friends at @NewMusGathering need your help! 👇
"New Music Gathering is money-overwhelmed this year. We have this awesome lineup of amazing artists for NMG2023 in Portland in a couple of weeks, but a bunch of choices like making participation/attendance completely free, giving application thank-you money (opposite of application fee), and offering some travel support, means we're left in the money hole. We want to keep going (and pushing further) with these moves toward greater accessibility, but that comes with a price tag. We're trying to find new ways to pay that growing price, and need some help figuring it out."

Who's coming to @NewMusGathering this week?
I'm excited to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones!
Maybe you're coming but feeling a little nervous about interacting with so many people.
How do you start to make real connections & avoid the "ick" factor of networking?
Pleased to announce that I've been invited to be a panelist for @NewMusGathering's 2023 Annual Conference at @Portland_State this June.
Excited for this opp to participate and to interact with other new music professionals both familiar and new to me.

We are super pumped and extremely proud to announce something that just makes all kinds of sense: DAMEUN STRANGE has joined the merry gaggle of NMG organizers! Get ready for everything to get STRANGER when we see you in Portland next June! 🎉❤️🎉❤️
Dameun has worked with such artists as Leslie Parker, Ananya Chatterjea, J. Otis Powell, and Sha Cage and has been a featured performer in concerts celebrating the work of George Lewis, Thurston Moore, and Henry Threadgill.
He is a 2018 recipient of the ACF | Create Award and 2019 Jerome Hill Fellowship. Dameun lives in Saint Paul, MN with his wife, Corina, and their 4 yo, Ezra. Like any good nerd, he enjoys a good sci-fi story and has a soft spot for anything related to cosmology.
