I just received a Subito grant from the American Composers Forum – San Francisco Bay Area Chapter, for my sound installation Timepiece (Berlin, September, 2010). Thank you, ACF.
The San Francisco Tape Music Collective and sfSound hosted a very successful 10th annual SF Tape Music Festival last weekend, January 7-9, 2011. Over our 18-speaker set up, I diffused pieces by Christian Marclay and Maryanne Amacher and also presented one of my own audio postcards, Post from Rajasthan
The 2011 Festival featured 20 local and international composers, and it concluded with an entire evening of diffusions by Jonty Harrison. Having Jonty Harrison perform live at the Festival was a treat for all. The Collective and our audience were lucky benefactors of some rare and good timing. Thank you, Jonty, for coming and playing!

Timepiece (Berlin, September, 2010) – a sound installation – completed its run at the Berlin sound gallery ohrenhoch, der Geräuschladen. Many people experienced and manipulated the installation over the 14 hours it played, and I would like to thank the gallery proprietors Knut Remond and Katharina Moos for their hospitality and support.
