For this concert ten diverse composers (Lisa Bielawa, Jay Cloidt, Conrad Cummings, Paul Dresher, Fred Frith, Guillermo Galindo, Carla Kihlstedt, Amy X Neuburg, Ken Ueno and Pamela Z) created songs inspired by photographs, on the theme of the everyday here and now—in all its glory, grit and banality. Each song is performed by Amy on vocals and electronics, accompanied by the 6-piece ensemble, against a backdrop of projected photographs.
Z Space in San Francisco, 8 PM. Tickets HERE.

“Is it conflict free and were any animals harmed in the making of it?”
Mark Palmer did a lovely job of editing this video from the December 2014 performance of my piece for the Paul Dresher ensemble. We perform the entire concert again (10 songs by 10 composers, with projected images) in San Francisco in spring 2015.
