In Talking Circle, six people ages 25 to 78 gather to make a decision that will impact each of their lives. What do they hope for as individuals at different stages of life and as a community? What risks will they take to achieve the freedoms they dream of?
The cast comprises dancers Anna Greenberg, Cauveri Suresh, Chelsea Reichert, and Erin Yen with guests Pamela Wu Kochiyama and Sharon Dalke of the Elders Project at Destiny Arts Center. Recorded music by Amy includes the contributions of cellist Jess Ivry and banjoist Erik Perason.

Come to My House consists of 8 songs played in surround sound through 8 powered audio speakers. Each speaker is itself a work of art, encased in printed vinyl with wood and metal appendages. NOT a soundscapey installation, these are actual Amy songs, dense and complex with lyrics addressing property lines, love and lust and loss, prickly plants, and other reflections from the Ark that is my home. The music ranges from choral counterpoint to electronic dance to a swell of chattering legal jargon.
Finally! Amy’s 2019 magnum-opus-y vocal work Entitled is available for listening or purchase on Bandcamp. HERE it is.
Entitled premiered in April 2019 as a 140-channel surround sound piece for Virginia Tech’s CUBE listening environment. This new stereo mix retains all 140 tracks of vocals.
