A week before my first one-person show premieres.

Between memorizing an eight-page script and picking up a US Army mine crate from 1953 to use as a prop, I still had time to lay down some violin for @cuchulainmusic’s new album.

What makes Through-Lineage different from previous shows? The process of creating it has been filled with intention and determination. My inner perfectionist-procrastinator usually has me leaning on my improv skills for every performance. Chalk it up to age or four years of therapy—I’ve deliberately folded meaning into every moment of this show. I can’t wait to share it with you. Many thanks to James Mapes at @riskrewardpdx for walking with me through this process.

Hope to see you 10/23 or 10/24, 7:30pm at Reed College.

Improvisation Summit of Portland- Final night

Portland Arts Collective
122 NW Couch St, Portland, OR 97209

FRI 10/30, 7PM

Brown Calculus: a cosmic duo who explore the expansiveness of genre-less
soundscapes. Singer-songwriter-arranger, Brown Alice (Vaughn Kimmons), and keyboardist and composer, Brown Calvin (Andre Raiah) are Geminis who illuminate the sacredness of Black music. They reveal the connection between complex time signatures and Black divinity via ritualistic improvisation. Sharing the same body in their
past lives, they perform with melanated synergy. In the Fall of 2017 they released their debut EP, Live at The Map Room. This intimate recording gives a glimpse into the jazzy and dynamic universe of Brown Calculus, who share an uplifting message of healing love.

Joe Kye: Joseph in the Well is an improvised music project devised by Portland musician Joe Kye. Using violin, loops, vocals, and electronic effects, Joseph in the Well gives voice to the inner mind of a Korean American artist at odds with the oppressive structures of Empire and man-made borders. Celestial and meditative, electric yet deeply rooted in Korean traditional vocabulary, Joseph in the Well is a sonic current flowing between generations and geography.
