update: march
14 March, 2010
wow. it’s been a while since i’ve updated this thing. life has been busy & taken over.
my album is still out, and you can still check it out here and here. if you feel moved to pick it up, please do so, full spectrum would greatly appreciate it.
the album is in rotation at a few radio stations. if you’d want to call and request it, that would be cool. or if you want to just listen and wait for it to come on, that’s cool too, but i don’t recommend that method. it’s at the following radio stations:
WUAG – Greensboro, NC
WQFS – Greensboro, NC
WXYC – Chapel Hill, NC
KTRU – Houston, TX
WNYU – New York, NY
stillstream.com – Online
WBMR – Boston, MA
I’ve been working on a piece that I think is pretty interesting – a drone piece for flexible instrumentation. It’s going to be performed March 22nd in Greensboro, and April 30th in Austin, TX as part of the FuseBox Festival. I’m really looking forward to these performances. The groups will be incredibly different and diverse, and I think we’ll get two great, but totally different pieces. Other than these two performances, I’m not doing too much in the way of performing. Recent shows around town have been solo banjo shows. I’ve worked up some covers and a few original banjo songs, just to do something totally different. I felt the need to take some time off from performing my music, in order to focus on the direction I want to go to next.
I haven’t been totally taking a break, though. I’m working on a release for Future Recordings. This is close to done, and I’m excited about this one. It’s two pieces, and will be released on cassette. I also recorded a collaborative album with Brian John Mitchell this past week. We’ll see what happens with that. Also being released soon is a 4-way split on Eric Hall’s Echolocation Records. It’s a great line-up: ll (Eric Hall & Matt Dill), Michael Vallera, & Noose of Laurels. This one should see the light of day in a next few months.
