Now that I’m teaching at a university again, I have to go to a lot of commencements, which means I need regalia (robes, etc.). Rather than purchasing a generic one, I reached out to my friend Ansumana Gbembo and commissioned a robe and hood from him. Ansumana is an African tailor who originally came to Erie as a refugee from Sierra Leone. Now an American citizen, he specializes in custom garments, and is adept at creating hybrid designs that combine African and western styles.

The regalia he made uses a mix of black and African fabrics Ansumana brought from a recent trip to the Gambia. Technically, the colors of your regalia are supposed to represent your field and the university you graduated from, but I’ve given that institution enough dough, so I’d rather just rep a regional artist instead.

Ansumana had never made regalia like this before, but all he needed was an example, so I gave him a robe and hood I rented last year and he was off. He reproduced the bell sleeves, elastic collar, sleeve inlays, and academic hood (a very strange garment design). He not only made the garments beautifully, but also did so with impressive speed.

Ansumana was very proud of his work, and attended graduation today to see it in action.

If you’d like to commission a custom garment of your own from Ansumana, DM me and I’ll connect you.

The Infrasonic Series presents pianist Michael McNeill @michaelgmcneill performing an afternoon of music evoking the dream world and its resonances in waking life. Anchoring the program is Dorothy Rudd Moore’s “Dream and Variations” (1974), a work of rugged, mid-20th-century American modernism that explores “a land of dreams which range from euphoric bliss to nightmarish disturbance”. McNeill will also play several of his own works highlighting the ethereal resonances of the piano. Bookending these will be Alexander Scriabin’s Eight Etudes, op. 42 (1903), works of sumptuous late Romanticism that hint at the dramatic developments of the coming decade. McNeill will perform behind a scrim, onto which Buffalo-based light artist @n3wttron will project surreally somnambulant visuals.

The program will open with a set by Indigenous flute player, Windsong (Allen Brown), @ethanthayden (audio FX) and Buffalo-based photographer Tim Sager.

Infrasonic Series at FEED Media Art Center, Sunday February 15, 3 PM.Tickets on sale now! (L|nk in b|o). Seating is limited.

Experience a transformative blend of tradition and innovation. For the first time, Indigenous flute player, Windsong (Allen Brown), Ethan Hayden (audio FX) and Buffalo-based photographer Tim Sager unite to explore the liminal space between waking life and lucid dreams. The performance will combine Windsong’s meditative approach to his instrument with Sager’s darkly asymmetrical photos from across the Rust Belt. Hayden’s audio processing will expand Windsong’s flute, creating layers of misty counterpoint. Sager’s transformative photography uses experimental techniques such as stereo pinhole photography—where two holes blend different views of scenes such as factories—envisioning uncanny architecture akin to the impossible spaces of M.C. Escher.

This flute/photography performance opens for Michael McNeill @michaelgmcneill, who will play late romantic classical music among his own compositions. McNeill will be joined by Buffalo-based video artist, @n3wttron.

The next Infrasonic Series concert will welcome visiting pianist Michael McNeill @michaelgmcneill.The event will take place at @feedmediaart, a media arts gallery and creative business incubator here in Erie.

Michael McNeill is a pianist, improviser, and composer from Western New York. His recent quartet album, Barcode Poetry, was released on @infrasonicpress and featured all original compositions.Andrew Bishop called it a “musical and textural triumph,” while Angelica Sanchez praised its “combination of lyrical grace and raw terrifying energy [that] makes his music feel alive and dynamic, constantly evolving in ways that surprise and excite.”

McNeill will present an afternoon of music evoking the dream world and its resonances in waking life. Anchoring the program is Dorothy Rudd Moore’s “Dream and Variations” (1974), a work of rugged, mid-20th-century American modernism that explores “a land of dreams which range from euphoric bliss to nightmarish disturbance”. He will also play several of his own works highlighting the ethereal resonances of the piano. Bookending these will be Alexander Scriabin’s Eight Etudes, op. 42 (1903), works of sumptuous late Romanticism that hint at the dramatic developments of the coming decade. McNeill’s performance will be accompanied by equally evocative live projections.

The program will open with a collaboration between Indigenous flute player, Windsong (Allen Brown), and Buffalo-based visual artist Tim Sager. The performance will combine Brown’s meditative approach to his instrument with Sager’s darkly asymmetrical photos from across the Rust Belt.

New work by @iki_nakagawa last night at @feedmediaart

l0op d1sconnect MAin 2-9970 is a generative composition for disklavier and projections.  The piece arose from a fascination with analog telecommunications and their similarity to the pulsing hammers inside a piano.  It is generated by Markov chains and other semi-stochastic processes that produce the piano part and modify the visuals—historic films demonstrating the use of telecommunication equipment, along with animations of dancing Arabic numerals—in real time.

Victoria Angelo is a traditional African dancer, singer, and storyteller who shares the rich cultural heritage of her childhood in Africa.With ancestral roots in Southern Sudan and northern Uganda, she is of Achoi and Lulubo heritage and speaks both languages.As a refugee, Victoria understands the importance of ensuring that children know where they come from, as strong connections to the past help them navigate challenges in school, work, and their communities. Through her performances and storytelling, Victoria shares the deep cultural significance of African traditions, ensuring they are celebrated and remembered.

New piece for ensemble, my first in a while. I excavate how concert music's present Z-eye-own-1st complicities are neither a historical aberration nor contingent to that white(ned), aggressively policed enclave which is "the purely musical," and propose an otherwise musical practice.

Thanks are due to fellow travellers Vertixe Sonora for venturing down this path with me, and to Ethan Hayden for assistance with programming.

Arms embargo now! No arms in the arts!

This was supposed to be a quick example for my Audio Production students, but then it became a whole thing so it’s y’all’s problem now.
