when i was 10 i picked up the flute. there was always music (classical, jazz, world, folk) playing around my house, and i feel like it had a profound influence on my synaptic firings. i took classical flute lessons...but classical music was not exactly my thing. at age 16 i put an electric pick-up in my flute (inspired by laurie anderson's tape bow violin) and joined a punk band. now i make sound art, and invent things...little did i know this avenue could lead to a gig at lincoln center. well, not exactly, not in a concert hall...outside, in front of avery fisher hall, as part of lincoln center out-of-doors homemade musical instrument day. please stop by if you can, from 2 to 6 on sunday august 14th.
