about

Back in February 2007, I was invited to perform with my friend Todd Reynolds for the opening of the new season for Peregrine Arts in Philadelphia. It was a low key event, as I was about to present my museum performance/installation work, The Order of Things, at the Wagner Free Institute of Science in the same city in the following days.

Bahdeebahdu is an eclectic establishment in Philadelphia, PA that offers a unique blend of art, design, and creativity. It was an extraordinary space, filled with sculptures constructed almost entirely from everyday objects that the owner Warren Muller collected on regular pilgrimages to flea markets, junk stores and so on.

Todd and I set up in this remarkable space and performed an intimate interpretation of the classic work from British composer Gavin Bryars, The Sinking of the Titanic.

For years Todd has been violinist of choice for contemporary artists such as Steve Reich, Meredith Monk, and Bang on a Can, and he’s also a founder of the string quartet known as Ethel. He's also collaborated with artists like Yo-Yo Ma, Todd Rundgren, Joe Jackson, Mark Mothersbaugh, and even Bruce Springsteen!

It has been remixed and remastered for this 2024 release.
