I've been invited to present a laptop piece as part of the Portland New Music Society's bi-weekly series. I'm planning on working with the early stages of a new project I'm developing centered around assorted bells and chimes, derived from source audio ranging from clinking glasses and wind chimes to field recordings of various bells across the United States and northern India.
I'll be in the middle slot between Rick Maas and Scott Stobbe. The show will take place at Jace Gace, the Pacific Northwest's foremost Belgian waffle and ale establishment, at 2045 SE Belmont. It starts at 8 pm.

South Waterfront Neighborhood Park, Portland OR
A collaborative performance event by Johnson, Will, Nehil, and Boese involving dozens of performers; both a response to and an inauguration of Portland's new South Waterfront development. My contribution: delivering pieces of Seth Nehil's compositions via bicycle, from an mp3 player through a battery-powered amp strapped to the back of my bike. There were 6 of us doing this, while Seth performed via laptop on a PA from the balcony of a building overhead. We accompanied dancers, other musicians, and all sorts of movement, sound, interactive sculpture, and light. Though draining (2+ hours long), it was an exhilarating experience; Seth's compositions spread out nicely when pumped out by 6 of us all at once in a circle. I felt like a sonic delivery man.

I did some post-production audio editing and was a live tech lackey for this event, a modular, interactive multimedia project that engages notions of legacy. It's a bit difficult to explain, but if you're in Seattle for the Bumbershoot Festival Aug 30th- Sept 1st 2008, you'll have a chance to see for yourself.

This performance was part of Emerging Digerati Week 2008 hosted by Emerging Digerati, a programming initiative from the the Institute for New Media Studies at the University of Minnesota. I continued to develop material from my last show on 1/20/08, with extra added samples of a drum solo and David Lee Roth.
This was also my last performance in the Twin Cities before I moved to Portland, OR in April of 2008.

Danny Sigelman was kind enough to host a performance at his warehouse space featuring Casey Deming, myself, and a group improvisation by Mr. Sigelman and the rest of those assembled. This gave me the opportunity to test out some new material I'd been working on.
My performance features samples of performances by Brye Beverlin II and Charles Gillett, as well as the sounds of a cat purring, a spinning coin and a cell phone's alarm clock function.
