I have had many wonderful things in the works this year, and I am preparing now for one of the biggest changes yet. I will be moving to Vancouver, BC for my MFA, starting at Simon Fraser University in the fall. To all my Milwaukee folks, this means I will be moving from the city at the end of July. I have much more to share and will be taking the time these next few weeks to reflect and reach out more, especially through social media, which I normally don't do. I will be saying goodbye individually and hopefully with some last minute gatherings! I have been incredibly lucky to have such wonderful experiences and to have lovely people come into my life. I want to take the time to acknowledge such. Right now, the biggest thing I want to voice is an event happening at my second home, Boswell Books! July 26th will be my last day working there, and at 7pm we are hosting a very special author event for Veronica Rueckert. Amanda Schoofs and I are excited to be performing together for an opening set for the event debuting Rueckert's new book, Outspoken: Why Women's Voices Get Silenced and How To Set Them Free. This might be the last time I’m playing music in Milwaukee for a bit! Let’s make some noise in a bookstore!!! @sfucontemporaryarts @boswellbookco @soundantisound #outspokenthebook #harpercollins #experimental #clarinet #noise #improv
"The most beautiful part of your body is where it’s headed" I'm sadly not at @boswellbookco today to celebrate the release of #onearthwerebrieflygorgeous but seriously go go go get your copy and feel the words of @ocean_vuong
My mom is good at growing things and I am bad with group photos
Yo Chicago, this is happening, I will play sounds along with wonderful others
Tonight!!! AND Tomorrow!! Between Constructions of Desire A year in the making, this is a performance experience NOT to be missed. I am so thrilled to be working with these beautiful, thoughtful and dedicated people, and bringing sound to the culmination of their hours upon hours of research. It is truly a moving experience to be a part of https://www.facebook.com/events/332242940735773/?event_time_id=332242944069106&ti=as
