about

This is a recording of a live show that took place at the RiverRun Center in Guelph Canada. I was asked to put together something for the Borealis series that runs every season. My first thought was "well I don't really have show but by God i can make one." I have always wanted to do live music with some of my video work so this was the prime opportunity to try it out. The material was drawn from the DEEP BREATHING and RINK catalogue with some new works added as well. The music was improvised following very minimal musical and visual guidelines. You can see examples here youtu.be/Bn49u3riTGU and here youtu.be/NahSMK1SRJ8 . Of course I brought in some of my favorite players who delivered a stellar performance.
