What the Body Remembers is a haunting exploration of pain and healing through the medium of solo violin and electronics. Drawing from the work of contemporary composers, the program moves through the spiritual, psychological, and embodied aspects of pain with unsparing authenticity and blessed relief. Violinist Katherine Liccardo (Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, The Kennedy Center) transforms the body of the violin into a percussive heart beat and the strings into a rasping breath. She unleashes raw walls of sound, hypnotic recursive loops, and ecstatic melodic lines in a bravura performance that pushes the boundaries of the violin. Based on Liccardo’s own journey of injury and recovery, this deeply personal hour of music opens the doors of private suffering into a shared, communal experience of recognition and catharsis. by @frmament

William’s restaurant @sweetfern_geometer_portlandme opens tonight! It has been incredible to watch him create this (and @mourning_cloak_portlandme - go there too!). The menu is small to start (small and delicious) but will soon expand to be a fully realized farm-to-table/seasonal dining/family style dining experience where the kitchen makes most of the decisions 😍. I first experienced William’s cooking at his beautiful restaurant Tannat in Inwood when I lived in NYC. It was soooo fucking goooood…sorry this post was too formal. GOOOOO experience the magic and follow on instagram to watch Sweetfern grow. Willllliammmmmm ❤️❤️❤️ by @frmament

Reposting due to the previous version being erased from the timeline—but hurrah for my NYC restaurant Tannat! As I’m opening a new place here in Portland, Maine, I’m awestruck by the power of my memories there. I’m so excited to start building again. by @frmament
