Solos at Avant Vespers in Provo Jan 4

I enjoyed sharing a show with Christian Asplund and Lulu Asplund at Avant Vespers in Provo, Utah.  I played Vitkova FIVE and Maxwell Cloudseeding 4, my go-to solo set as of late, I’m loving letting these works develop over time.  I inexplicitly didn’t take any photos (maybe because I had an entire carload of electronics) but I did take a picture of my fortune from the Pho noodle shop.  I’ve been thinking so much about community and building community in music, and about how you can’t create music in a vaccum.  And how both of these works came out of deep friendships.  So yeah, call an old friend today.img_20190104_193656

Music into mountains, deserts, oceans

In 2019 I plan to send more music I love off mountains and into the desert and into the ocean. I spent some time in Madeira learning a Lois V Vierk piece, here’s a snip from my practice room!!! Happy New year all you inspiring people xo kp
