IAHRQ LP Release Shows

Invisible Astro Healing Rhythm Quartet (with Kris Tiner and Phillip Greenlief)



In February 2012, the Invisible Astro Healing Rhythm Quartet assembled at Metro Galleries in downtown Bakersfield to record a live set of four original compositions in front of a packed house, with special guests Phillip Greenlief on tenor saxophone and Kris Tiner on trumpet. The show was organized by Epigraph Records, a new grassroots label devoted to presenting unusual and esoteric new music in Bakersfield. The IAHRQ are at the forefront of this scene. Blending Ethiopian funk with the outer realms of cosmic jazz and atonal psychedelia, these four young musicians weave a sound that is explicitly their own, while proudly paying tribute to their influences.

Upcoming at Metro Galleries

This Sunday will be the last Epigraph Records-sponsored concert of the year at Metro Galleries. Superb Sacramento guitarist Ross Hammond is bringing his trio (featuring Steuart Liebig on bass and Trevor Anderies on drums), and I’ll play in the opening set with the trio version of my new trumpet-synth project Not Twice (check here for a recap of our San Francisco performance back in August). Both sets will be recorded live. More info at this link.

Here’s a preview of the music I’ve written for our set:

Please take a minute to check out hibari, an ongoing aid project for earthquake victims in northeastern Japan. It’s now in it’s 43rd week featuring new music weekly by 100 contemporary composers.

This week they are featuring a flute/piano duet I composed earlier in the summer, BEAUTIFULLY and impeccably performed by Reiko Manabe and Kaori Ohsuga. Scroll down for a reproduction of the score.

You can download the full seven minute performance by donating $5 or more. My piece will be available for the next seven days.
