Residence Plan
I will work on compositions for my new solo piano album, titled "Next Tomorrow" (inspired by my time in Japan), and create accompanying visual projections using footage gathered during the residency and from my previous travels in Japan. I will present my work as an open exhibition from May 22-24, with live performances of 25-30-minutes duration on May 22 and 24. The May 24th performance will feature an additional guest performance, with a duo baritone saxophone improvisation and accompanying visuals.
