Appalachian Squall

I’ve been working on a big project called Appalachian Squall.  My friend Shira Abergel was chosen for the Here and Now Festival for 2013 and was awarded a $4,000 grant.  We’ve been working on it for several months.  It’s playing or already played at Miami Light Project in Wynwood, Miami, Florida, from February 7-9 & 14-16, 2013.

It’s a silent film/play hybrid with live music by Avocado Estate.  I created the film that projects in the background and I even act in it.

Here is a review.

Here is an interview.

We were all on the radio on the Michael Stock Folk and Acoustic show.  I got to answer a few questions about the film part of the project.

Asymmetrical Apples

I’m almost done with my first official album.

I will release my music under the name of Asymmetrical Apples.

Weevil

I was contacted by an illustrator/entomologist at the California Academy of Sciences to use one of my photos on her website. She has some really amazing drawings of insects on her site and her flickr page. And I love her enthusiasm for bugs. Have a nice day.

Here’s her site, check it out: http://thebefuddledloris.wordpress.com/2012/07/30/inconceivable-weevil/

Her flickr page, with some really great drawings/illustrations: http://www.flickr.com/photos/50828974@N05/
