SoundWalk2007
I am pleased to announce that I will be participating in the 4th Annual SoundWalk. This one-night event presents a variety of conceptual, performance, sculptural, and site-specific installation works on the streets, businesses, galleries, and byways of the East Village, in Long Beach, CA. All works use sound in one way or another.
I have had the good fortune to have participated in the previous three events. In the first two, I presented kenetic sculptures and, last year, sat in on a performance by the Hop Frog Kollectiv.
This year, I’m pushing my own creative boundaries, but won’t be able to tell you more. You’ll just have to come and experience things for yourself.

Niko: Our New Cat
It has been nearly one year since the passing of our beloved cats, Shogi and Barney. Our remaining cat, Violet, has become very affectionate since then and, although we really enjoy her attention, we felt that it was time to find a comrade for her. To that end, we paid a visit to the LA County Animal Shelter in Downey and found an adorable, young, black cat who we subsequently named Niko Niko, which means “smile” in Japanese.
He’s a snuggle-muffin, head-butts us, plays with the dogs, and is generally a good egg. Violet was fairly peeved at first but, now, she’s taken a liking to the little fellow and was seen frolicking with him. It seems that, so far anyway, we’ve picked a winner.
Here are some early pictures:
