Off to Darmstadt, where my percussion sextet a Spiral as Seen from the View of a Drum

which will be on display at the Contemporary Art Centre of Vilnius during the ISCM World Music Days in October. Richard Craig will be premiering the full version of my piccolo / bass flute solo / duo — the failure of surface
— at UNM in Oslo on the 5th of September. My string trio Hvein
along with a rendering of its electronic counterpart S-Be1
