sonlux: Tech rehearsal with ETHEL and Gibney Dance. For the piece, I created a tape part to “ghost” the live ensemble at certain moments. With the quartet performing to click, the “ghosts” emerge in synch with the ensemble. It’s working great. Free shows tomorrow and Saturday: http://www.gibneydance.org/company/performance-calendar.php

Victoire - A Song for Mick Kelly (from Cathedral City, words by Farnoosh Fathi and Missy Mazzoli)

Featuring Bryce Dessner and Mellissa Hughes

“I really wrote this track with the idea that eventually Bryce would play it. He can play anything, but more importantly, he understands the “classical/distorted/strange/impossible-to-describe” sound I’m going for. He adds a certain quiet intensity to the track, a rock sound that fits in with classical instruments and doesn’t overwhelm the violin and the voice.” - Missy Mazzoli (Village Voice, 2010)
