Seth and Gene’s Excellent Electro-Acoustic Adventure continues with a concert tomorrow night in Mexico City and then another the next night in Morelia.

Gene Pritsker and I are performing tonight in San Jose and then on the 22nd in Turrialba as part of Seth and Gene’s Excellent Electro-Acoustic Adventure.

My pieces include my score for Guy Maddin’s excellent film The Heart of the World plus a new work inspired by the paintings of Remedios Varo and a short score for a film by Octavio Maya.

I’m playing a piece of mine inspired by a photograph by Diane Arbus on Sunday as part of a Composers Concordance event called Protest Songs.  The piece is for electric guitar and piano. The concert takes place at the legendary Stonewall Inn and starts at 5:00.  Be there!

I have two new scores on this year’s Sound of Silent Film Festival!  The pieces are scored for flute, clarinet, violin, cello, piano and percussion and the films are a really cool animated film from Mexico about a mime’s encounter with Death and a ghost story.
