*Current Exhibits & Projects*

SONIC BENCH at Seattle Center
(December, 2009 - December, 2010) My colleague Kaffee Matthews encouraged me to seek funding & create a Seattle version of a Sonic Bench, and thus in February, 2008 I embarked on a long journey to create an interactive musical public bench. I asked Kim David Hall (engineer, fabricator), to collaborate with me, and the Bench is a success!
Check out an initial video of The Making of The Bench. A final video is in progress...
Many thanks to the initial inspiration from Kaffe Matthews' music for bodies, and the help of Tom Flood, Monad Elohim, Andrea Wagner, Pete Rush (Seattle Center Productions), 4Culture, and Seattle Mayor's Office of Arts and Cultural Affairs


KULTUR SHOCK
I rejoined Kultur Shock in January, 2009, to record on 'Integration' and since July, 2009 we've tucked in 63 concerts in Europe (Europe, Balkans, Russia), encountering extraordinary people everywhere between London (UK) & Istanbul (TU), Copenhagen (DK) & Athens (GR), Nantes (F) and Perm (RU), mostly going by van. Many thanks to our stalwart soundman & driver, Saso Kotnik, and the beautiful Nika Sajn for her creative designs & vending talents!
