Back at Specimen
Back at the wonderful Specimen space with Ian Schneller working with some of Andrew Bird's material from their previous collaboration at the MCA, the Sonic Arboretum (which I had the honor of helping record and manipulate). Ian's new installation is called "Sculptures by Ian Schneller, Sonic Vignettes: With Music by Andrew Bird from the Sonic Arboretum" and is running at Elgin Community College.

Excited to have the first teaser track from the forthcoming Iron & Wine album "Ghost on Ghost" out there!
