ROULETTE, New York City
The first concert was on the 15th of September, at the GRAND OPENING. I was honored to be asked to play again at the space where I had played what turned out to be my New York debut some years ago. I opened with
Kaija Saariaho's
Dolce Tormento for piccolo solo, followed by the version with video of
NoaNoa (with Kaija mixing the electronics and Jean-Baptiste Barriere managing the video with his team). See here the
The New York Times report...Guests of honor...
Director Jim Staley
Five days later I was back again with the New York premiere of
Stockhausen's
Harmonies--the 5th Hour of Klang for solo flute,
Shoko Shida's
Fukura semé for solo flute and nohkan, and the world premiere of
Jean-Baptiste Barrière's
Crossing the Blind Forest for bass flute, live electronics and live video.
COLOGNE, Germany
Before New York was the premiere of
Toward the Silence, composed by myself (music for voice, bass and concert flutes) and
Claudia Robles (voice, video, live electronics). No press, no pictures yet...another time, perhaps....
