Here is where I was on the first day of summer last year, or maybe it was the year before. Anyway, it was a performance of les 100 guitares in Le Havre, France. Photo is by Anonia Enos.
For this year, we are, of course, just coming out of lockdown here in France. I spent the spring working on a piece for choreographer Pascal Gravat, to be presented in Geneva this September. Further details to be announced.
For other news, a piece I wrote back in 2016 has finally been released! It is about 10-minutes and is called “For Bob”. It is a piece written in memory of the composer Robert Ashley, who was a composer I looked up to while coming of age.
It’s finally out on vinyl as part of a double compilation album with various artists, the proceeds of which benefit the Alzheimer’s Association, you can give it a listen at the link below.
The limited vinyl edition is for USD$ 50 (or more), the CD version is $30, and the MP3 (and similar) version is $25.
Here is the link to order it: The Longest Day Order link.
Aside from that, in related news, I’ve decided to get back to my roots in electronic music. Back in the nineties, I did extensive programming in Max and performed widely at the time on trumpet and interactive electronics programmed in Max. At the start of the mid-2000s I decided to get back into electric guitar and abandoned electronic music at that point… until now!
So this summer, I’ll be getting back into electronic music with a view to having a new live set ready to go for the autumn involving electronic sounds combined with the various live instruments that I play.
