It is no coincidence that this incredibly intimate excursion is finding it’s way to light on this Full Moon. Climb inside my interior, peer into my world. I hope the space I’ve created transcends… Lissom ‘Strip me of my shadows until I’m raw’ EP via Modyfier’s Process Series.

Felt quite lucky to be asked to work with Orcas (Benoît Pioulard & Rafael Anton Irisarri) at their debut performance! The music is spellbinding, and quickly became one of my favorites. Their debut album will be released in February by Morr Music!

Collaborating with Simon Scott + Rafael Anton Irisarri at the year’s Decibel Festival was a purely magical experience. Here’s  a mini review and excerpt of the show.

For my performance, I created a tape-based resonant feedback loop employing the sculpture’s built in microphones. Here is an excerpt of from the beginning of the 20 minute piece

Liminal Space is currently giving form to a flexible and adaptive 5,000 sq. ft warehouse space where the principles that drive us and the investigations that follow will manifest as a series of public actions including: events, workshops, exhibitions, talks, and publications.

“In March of 2011, Guerrero Gallery , located in San Francisco California, hosted the first collaborative effort by artists Jason Michael Leggiere and Chris Duncan. Aptly titled,  “Sound and Shape” was an audience participatory and optically challenging sound sculpture based on  triangular shapes. The negative space of the sculpture was  filled with stretched piano wire (think post-modern harp), intended to be touched, felt or played by visitors. A horn speaker at the base of the sculpture, powered by hand built tube electronics, emitted resulting amplified tones. Resting upon a mirrored floor, the sculpture’s triangular forms were transformed into diamond-like shapes, which  viewers could enter, and easily become engulfed by the sonic and visual noise.”

I had the fantastic pleasure of participating in the performance series that featured “Sound and Shape”, and now the artists behind the work have launched a Kickstarter campaign to release the recordings as a 5 record boxset!

Full details chronicling the six years I spent incubating and developing this organization will be posted here soon.
