The Long Play 9 + documentation

10/10/2018

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been somewhat absent from the Cottage, things have been a little hectic lately. I've got a couple of news items for those who may be interested.

1) The latest episode of my current radio art project "The Long Play" went up on Mixcloud at the end of Sept. And here it is...

2) I recently performed at the Audiopollination series here in Toronto. Really great sets from everyone involved and I was very happy with my collab with local artist Mira Martin-Gray and touring artist (from Italy) Paolo Gaiba Riva. Video documentation of all four sets that night are up on the Audiopollination website. My set is the first but do check out the other sets, they are all quite enjoyable!
