MoMA, Asphalt Orchestra, Koyaanisqatsi w/ N.Y. Philharmonic
I have two performances in October at the Museum of Modern Art, set within Carlito Carvalhosa’s new exhibition Sum of Days. Each performance will consist of two parts – saxophone/interactive electronics improvisations with Red Wierenga and a new work for multiple saxophones (live and pre-recorded).
As you can see from the video links, Sum of Days is designed to facilitate a dream like experience. By encountering its massive scale, the visitor is encouraged to remove normal parameters of perception and enter a new state of observation. As Carlito explains, the work is free flowing, impossible to completely define, and continually moving through different phases of existence.
In a few days, I will be going on tour with Asphalt Orchestra in New Hampshire and Maine. The highlight of our performances will be the premiere of the new indoor show, choreographed by Mark DeChiazza and Andrew Robinson.
And in early November the Philip Glass Ensemble is joining the N.Y. Philharmonic for two rare performances of Koyaanisqatsi with orchestra and chorus.
