Jacob Sacks and Room 264

Last night was a fun filled evening at Detour. Jacob Sacks invited all his friends and colleagues who used to work with him at CPSM (a music prepatory school) and had one big musical party. Jacob was emcee all night (there’s a game show host in him-I can feel it) and the music was unpredictable… Continue reading Jacob Sacks and Room 264

Happy New Year!

Well it’s hard to believe that it’s 2006. The past year went by so fast that I can’t even reflect on what’s happened. It’s like a systems overload for me (can’t….pro–cess…infor–ma-tion…) I do know that 2006 is going to be an exciting year. I can feel it in my bones. For one thing, 4inObjects will… Continue reading Happy New Year!

One Step Closer

So yesterday I had a 11 hour day going up to Orangeburg, NY mastering the debut CD of 4inObjects. We went to BangZoom Productions and the mastering engineer, Steve Vavagiakis was great. I would definitely recommend him for mastering acoustic recorded works. Steve was friendly and gave helpful advice during the session. It’s amazing what… Continue reading One Step Closer

The night was filled with lots of musical surprises and adventure. One of the special parts about Andrew performing with Jacob Sacks and myself is that Andrew is not only a… Continue reading The Bishop Was In Town

Etudes

Last Saturday (Oct.29th), I went to Miller Theater to see pianist, Christopher Taylor perform Gyorgy Ligeti’s “The Complete Piano Etudes”. The etudes were in three books that have spanned over 25 years. Christopher Taylor began with Book 3 and 2 and closed with Book 1. I was completely blown away. I’ve know the Ligeti Etudes… Continue reading Etudes

We performed in the Dowtown Music Gallery store on Bowery and 3rd. All pieces were free improvisations. Some were based on poetry and some… Continue reading Vocal Duets
