Getting back after carnival chaos

What a season!

Much left out of posts and calendar updates but here is what is coming up.

We will be recording the James Joyce opera in April- “Darling, please don’t be offended at what I wrote.” that I composed for Bloomsday 2019. We will be recording at Andrew Gilchrist’s studio for a David Gamble film to be shown at the remounting of the opera at Bloomsday 2020.

Speaking of Gamble, our film, ESPLANADE, now has the vinyl albums of the soundtrack out in two levels of collectors edition. There are a total of 100 numbered and signed. The first 10 are available with hand drawn art on titanium by Gamble. Those sre att a higher price. The other 90 sell for $100 and contain prints of the titanium art, original signed leaflets and a completely individual design black and white vinyl recording of the soundtrack. Let us know if you want one.

We continue to curate the music series at Luna Libre, a fantastic spot for Flaming Margherita’s and other Mexican food delights at 3600 St. Claude. The lineup so far has included, Phil Degruy, Mark Bingham, Dayna Kurtz, Beth Paxton, Alex McMurray, and Dick Deluxe. Here is a flyer with upcoming artists listed (correction on the date that says Matt Booth- that will be Blake Amos)…

I was also a featured guest on the Troubled Men podcast. An excellent entertainment weekly run by Rene Coman and Manny Chevrolet.
