Sign-up went live just a few days ago for thingNY’s third piece of the pandemic, Dear Nancine, but only about 10 spots remain!

thingNY’s third piece of the pandemic, Dear Nancine, is a free-of-charge, at-home, month-long multimedia piece delivered by USPS and presented by the Look + Listen Festival. Our new piece is for US-based audience members to experience alone or share with your household/pod. You’ll be asked to do tasks such as writing, drawing, listening, playing games, sending mail to loved ones, downloading an app, going on sound walks in your neighborhood, and more. Expect 7-9 little gifts in your mailbox during the month of May. In order to offer this active experience, we’ve capped the audience at 100 participants, and only about 10 spots remain. You can sign up for this and other festival events at http://www.lookandlisten.org. Or, if you prefer a more passive audience experience, please check out our previous pandemic-era pieces, SubtracTTTTTTTTT and A Series of Landscapes!
At 5:30pm Arizona time on Thursday, April 15, Carlos Cotallo Solares and I will open the Oh My Ears (OME) Festival in Phoenix, AZ as Picard & Picard. We’ll be performing live from our respective homes in Philadelphia through the magic of Zoom. Expect improvised electronic music for violin and guitar with atmospheric visuals courtesy of Snapchat filters. More info at OME’s site.

We’re thrilled to have taken this huge step to put down roots in a wonderful city. We feel extraordinarily privileged to have become homeowners and look forward to serving our community as best we can. You can see us on the front porch of our new home on Facebook here.
Also, since my update in mid-September, Picard & Picard performed live to open for Bedlam‘s Zoom reading of Romeo and Juliet; watch our performance on YouTube. In October, thingNY was featured in The Wire Magazine, and we shared an exclusive preview of our upcoming album Passover on their site. On Halloween, I drove up to NYC for a socially distanced treasure hunt organized by World/Inferno, in which I performed an original song and improvised with a fire performer on the streets of Williamsburg. An online version of the treasure hunt exists, including video of my performance – send me a message and I’ll see if I can get you login credentials. In December, Picard & Picard presented new improvisations on Margarethe Maierhofer-Lischka’s Austrian radio show Kopfkino; listen to an archived version here. In February, I helped launch an anti-racist pledge created by New Music Equity Action, an online organizing group in the contemporary classical sphere I’ve been participating in since June.
Looking ahead, the big news is that I’m planning to go back to school this fall for a masters in city planning! If you’re in the planning field, please drop me a line, I’d love to hear about your experience.
And if you’re in the new music field – I hope you’ll sign the Pledge!
