I just spent time with @septimalcomma's "A moonbeam is just a filtered sunbeam" and it was gorgeous and experiential - I feel like I've been somewhere! Only one element of @WildUp's massively online Darkness Sounding festival. Details here: darknesssounding.wildup.org/ #newmusic

A couple years ago I reconstructed a delightful little violin sonata by Ruberto Sabbatini from around 1660 from damaged pages in the Rost Codex and gave the US premiere of it with Ian Pritchard. We filmed it last December and now it's online. youtube.com/watch?v=54Kkzedi…

So so grateful to the extraordinary musicians of Yarn/Wire for recording a new piece I've been working on for the last 8 months or so! Wish I could be there!

Just finished recording “primers” by @hhhhhennies and the extended curvo totalitas by Cat Lamb. Now a new @septimalcomma piece is coming together. We feel very grateful and lucky to be making this or any music right now.

Throwback to when Vicki Ray brought six of LA’s best new musicians onto Zipper Hall with her in November to deliver Grisey’s spectralist masterpiece, Vortex Temporum. youtu.be/5Ec5qxiWwCo

Lovely review today of the new album with @YarnWire. "Don't be surprised if you end up playing the release two or three times in succession, especially when doing so allows those swirling colours to dazzle your eyes not once but multiple times." textura.org/archives/m/mcint…
