Sat. Sept. 9 Dosh and Keston with Tripfacesmile.com

Martin Dosh and I have been playing one-off shows together in various ensembles for longer than I care to divulge. However, unless I’m misremembering this will be the first time as a duet. The Rhodes electric piano has always been our common ground, and I will have my new Osmose Expressive E along as well to share how I have been approaching that instrument. Tripfacesmile.com will start the night off with a set of modular synthesis. Please join us at ROK Bar, 882 7th St. W, Suite 12, St. Paul, MN 55102 on September 9, 2023.

ACB Live Volume 3 Stream Archive

Please enjoy this archive of the stream from ACB Live Volume 3 featuring Eric Carranza from April 18, 2023. Eric and I had a great time improvising together. I love Eric’s playing, his sense of sound design, and the way that he builds textures with electronics.
