Hooray for press!
I was recently interviewed by Margaret Smith about my upcoming Halloween performance at Gallery 119 in Lowell, MA. Click here to read the full story.

nosferatu

If you're looking for something to do this Halloween, stop by Gallery 119 in Lowell, MA for the October installment of "Kitty Chick's Flicks: Film as Art"

I'll be brewing up a soundtrack to the creepy silent classic film Nosferatu. Movie starts at 8. All ages. Donations appreciated.

Gallery 119 is at 119 Chelmsford St. in Lowell:

a metamorphosis transformed...

Video artist and photographer extrordinaire Jeff DeRose has captured a most amazing transformation in his latest short film. I'll give you a hint, but you should really view it yourself to experience the full intensity of the piece.

It shows something that probably happens in your own backyard on a regular basis. Something natural & beautiful, yet something you have probably never watched up close. And though it is a completely natural occurrence, this up close view makes it seem like something from another world...something a bit unsettling and frightening...I am honored that he's chosen to use my music as a soundtrack!

You can view the piece at his website: Ice-Axe.com. I've watched it over and over, and each time I view it, more of the magic is revealed. (I should also add that there's a bit of a twist, but you'll see what I mean when you watch it...I have already told you too much...)

Surrender: Wisteriax
Hello friends,
I would like to invite you to join me this Thursday, September 28th at Gallery 119 for Surrender, a live music/participatory art event put on by the folks at OUtlET. I'll be performing soundscapes throughout the evening. Hope you can stop in.
