Although it’s not fair to completely blame the kids (there’s also a general lack of money and the large amount of work I need to get done), a schedule like the one below makes me long for more free time. Right now, as of Tuesday night, I think my best bets are the Luke Savisky show on Wednesday and possibly the Cave & Mountain Tour on Thursday.

If you have the time, I’d suggest checking out any of these events. And if you go, let me know how it was.

Friday, April 30

• Difficult Listening Institute, represents a tic on the long timeline of the reductive approach to pure tone, and electro acoustic expressionism in music. We’ll explore some contemporary applications and concepts in music in the form of three short pieces followed by a very long one, where you’ll have the chance to spend the night in the Salvage Vanguard Theater Gallery as a participant in an intermedia “Sleep Concert.”
• Low Lives 2 is a one-night exhibition, produced and curated by Jorge Rojas, of live performance-based works transmitted via the internet and projected in real time at numerous venues throughout the U.S.

Also, after I get paid at the beginning of the month, I intend to back The Church of the Friendly Ghost’s Kickstarter project to host a three-day New Media Art & Sound Summit.

A lot of cool stuff is happening in this city.
