Sugar Maple:
Summer 2010
441 E. Lincoln; Milwaukee WI 53207
http://www.mysugarmaple.com/
Join me this summer as I present a 3 concert, improvised music series at Sugar Maple, in Bay View - Wednesday, June 16th; Wednesday, July 21st; and August 25th. I will revisit my newest interdisciplinary work 3 Trios: A Piece/One Peace; in Five Acts, in its original improvised form. The work is scheduled to be on my next CD/DVD release, and will have a Fall premiere with the full video component. You can find out more about the piece under Current Projects -New CD/DVD Project
I will be joined by a host of fine musicians, including Janet Schiff on 'cello, Steve Nelson Raney on saxes, Vic DeLorenzo on percussion and percussives, Mike Kulik on guitar and feedback, and John Lydon on trumpets. I will be responsible for vibraphone, text, and percussives. As the series progresses, new instrumentalists will join us and new textures will be explored. I will post new thoughts and information regularly.
I am very excited. I enjoy twisting and turning my own music - re-looking at it from different angles, seeing what I might have missed, almost like an archaeological dig. 3 trios, 5 acts, 3 days, 5 weeks apart...all part of a larger architectural structure that fascinates me endlessly....

Machine Gun 7.23.11
Sketches from the Machine Gun Concerto is, hopefully, the first of a number of ‘views’ of a double concerto for harpsichord, contrabass and chamber orchestra, that will grace the Milwaukee area in the future. These ‘views’ will utilize various media and performance scenaria in order to uncover hidden musical and metaphorical angles. The works takes as it’s point of departure the melodic line of the inimitable Machine Gun, by Jimi Hendrix.
Join performers Rachel Icenogle, Alex Stewart, Cindy Covelli, Victor DeLorenzo, Jason Wietlispach, Janet Schiff, and Steven White (with more to come) as well as video artists Scott Johnson and Melissa Musante, and art activist Valerie J. Christell at the Translator Lab on July 23rd, 2011. The room will activate at 7:00 P.M., and the performance will begin at 8:00 P.M. The Translator Lab is located at 415 E. Menomonee Street.
