vso new music festival 2017

last year was such a pleasure and an inspiration. excited to take in all the concerts and provide a cap on the evening for folks. i'll be dj'ing the post-concerts jan 24, 26, 27, and 29.

you can check out the full festival program here

and listen to my post-concerts from last year below..

special thanks to jocelyn morlock, alan gove, the vso, and all artists and composers featured at the festival. each dj set incorporated composers and themes from each night's performances. full festival details here: http://www.vancouversymphony.ca/festivals/15NMF **these recordings were edited down and shortened, to make them more digestible and also to respect certain composer's wishes to not be included. if you have work in any of these mixs and would like to be removed or to talk about it - please don't hesitate to get in touch. in the dj world it's a good thing to have your music included in other people's mixs, but i do understand this is a different scene and would/will totally respect that. both eyes closed (cat greeting)

mysteries of the deep

a recording of one of my dj sets for vancouver symphony orchestra's new music festival made it to the mysteries of the deep podcast under the chambers umbrella. naturally, given the context, it features all ambient, solo piano, and neo-classical music. thanks to debacle and all else involved.

thanks to vso new music festival

HUGE thanks to vancouver symphony orchestra for having me this past weekend at their new music festival at the orpheum theatre. was a pleasure on so many levels. loved checking out so much work by local and canadian composers, many of who were in attendence. and having my dj work so well recieved that the symphony's conductor called me "quiet tasteful actually" on stage and some of the composers and players giving me compliments .. well, let's just say that carries a different type of weight than someone flashing their lighter at a rave (which, or course, is great too!). ..might be a mix or two that results from the affair as well. cheers! and til next time!

appearing at VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA's New Music Festival

Very pleased to announce that i will be DJ'ing in the lounge at the Orpheum Theatre to close out each night of next week's New Music Festival. Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, Kronos Quartet, Standing Wave, Rachel Iwaasa, and others will all be performing. New works from Jocelyn Morlock and more.

I did this last year and totally recommend. Take in the main concert, then have a drink after with me blending sounds/themes from the festival with modern electronic sounds.
