Just confirmed today! I will be leaving for Germany on November 24th, 2007 and returning on December 3rd, 2007. Fred Frith has invited me to perform electronics for his structured improv composition for the New Jazz Festival. There will be 3 days of rehearsal in Baden Baden and on the third day we will be doing a recording at the SWR radio station. One day off followed by 2 performances in Germany and one in Switzerland.

The performers will be:

strings:
Fred Frith (guitar and home-made instruments) (UK)
Wu Fei (gu zheng) (China)

skins:
Anantha Krishnan (mridangam, tabla) (India)
Marque Gilmore (drums, electronics) (USA)

breath:
Tilman Mueller (trumpet) (Germany)

circuitry:
Patrice Scanlon (electronics) (USA)
Daniela Cattiveli (electronics) (Italy)

I am so honoured to be a part of this!!! To top it all off...all my expenses are paid plus I get paid on top of that! A free trip to Germany! Man, what is wrong with US funding for the arts?
