Next season is right around the corner, and a lot of breaking news to boot, including lots of New York and Berkshire performances! But as the pieces fall into place and get sorted, I'd love to propose one more event for your enjoyment, and in hopes of seeing you!
In addition, do visit the site and/or the blog to watch all the changes as they occur. Much construction and development underway.

vBrooklyn - a video festival about Brooklyn as a place and video as an artform. Brooklyn is one place I've always wanted to live. When I moved out of Manhattan, just another casualty of our cities lease-losing tradition, I chose Sunnyside as my home, greatly for affordability. What I missed in not joining my many colleagues was the richness of Brooklyn tradition and culture, there and continuing to evolve in spades. The link below goes straight to vBrooklyn's mission statement, which I found beautiful to contemplate, do check it out along with the weekend's schedule.
Luke DuBois was invited to present at vBrooklyn and asked me to join him, so on Sunday afternoon, at 4 pm on Dec. 2nd, we'll be there. Satoshi Takeishi, one of New York's originals and a most revered percussion colleague and I will play together, just the two of us, for the first time as a live collaborative soundtrack for nine, count'em, NINE channels of Luke DuBois. Last New York appearance this year...
