I’m out in Southern CA for the next couple of weeks playing solo shows in Carlsbad, San Diego and Los Angeles. One of the main things I’m doing out here is giving the West Coast premiere of Christopher Cerrone’s excellent piece for percussion and electronics, Memory Palace. Chris describes the work as a ‘kind of paean to places and people that have deeply affected me’. Each of the five movements represents a deeply meaningful part of his life and many of them feature field recordings that he made of things like cricket choruses and wind chimes. It’s an incredibly beautiful piece and I’m thrilled to be playing it! You can find more info about each event over on my calendar, but here’s a quick listing:
