New Album, "Welcome"

I'm extremely privileged to live where I live and to not face the increasing oppression and violence that people of colour, LGBTQ and Indigenous peoples face across the world. In light of the travel bans occurring to the south of us right now, and the horrific act of terrorism committed here in Canada yesterday, I'm donating all of the proceeds from this new album, "Welcome," to the Canadian Council for Refugees.

 Welcome was recorded in 2014 at Collectors Studio, Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Criss-Cross - Live Video

Last month Marie-France Hollier and I performed Alvin Lucier's Criss-Cross at send+receive festival. It was an incredibly challenging piece to perform, but very rewarding. Video below shot by Robert Szkolnicki.

Extra thanks to Oren Ambarchi for taking the time to teach this piece to us and overseeing our rehearsals.

send and receive - performance this week

I'm beyond honoured to have been asked to perform Alvin Lucier's Criss-Cross at send+receive festival in Winnipeg this year.

Criss-Cross is written for two electric guitars and was written specifically for Oren Ambarchi and Stephen O'Malley.

Marie-France Hollier and I will perform this piece on Thursday, Oct. 13th, at the Asper Theatre Centre at the University of Winnipeg. Kevin Drumm is headlining.

Live footage - August 2016

I played two shows in two days last weekend with some fantastic artists. Terrific crowds at both events. Below is an excerpt from my set at aceart. Video courtesy of Robert Szkolnicki.

The Sound The Sky Makes - New Album

I'm very excited to announce the release of my new album, The Sound The Sky Makes. The album is being released through Bonzer Records on cassette and digital download.

Right now, you can stream the album at Bonzer's Bandcamp page. Cassettes are delayed, so stay tuned for that, but they will be available from the label, myself, and likely so US distros as well. Official release show in early 2016.
