Let me tell you, I had an extraordinary European tour this summer. With The World/Inferno Friendship Society, I played 23 cities in 24 days in Germany, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Austria, Switzerland, England, and Scotland, and then I played four solo shows in Poland and Germany. You can get a taste of my adventures in these photos on Facebook. But this week, it’s THINGNY OPERA TIME!

After nearly three years of work it’s finally here: the premiere of This Takes Place Close By this Thursday through Sunday, September 24-27, in the gorgeous 50,000 feet of the Knockdown Center, the largest production thingNY has ever done! Following some initial planning, we started workshopping our newest experimental opera in a fall 2013 residency at Incubator Arts, performed a work-in-progress version in Canada at New Music Edmonton, and workshopped it more at a residency at Standard ToyKraft. Now, a team of stellar designers led by director Ashley Tata have joined us to make this a really special piece. Grab tickets now, here!

You can listen to some of the piece and meet the design team here:

So what is this opera?

Through stories, songs and scenes, our new work explores the reactions of isolated individuals in the wake of a devastating storm that affects them in drastically different ways. A woman crushed under a building, a bureaucrat from FEMA experiencing victimhood for the first time, a musician channeling his energy into a relief concert, and a shop owner insisting on rebuilding storm after storm…in short vignettes, the opera captures ordinary people thrown out of their “comfort zone,” while addressing issues such as the voyeurism of storms, the anxiety of privilege, and the emotional distance humans tend to keep between themselves and disasters.

I really hope you’ll come and tell your friends. And – stay tuned next month for solo performances I’m doing at the Brooklyn Experimental Song Carnival organized by Naked Roots Conducive (Valerie Kuehne and Natalia Steinbach), and at a show at _TORUS_PORTA organized by Joey Molinaro!

It’s been more than a month since I got back from my solo tour of the western US, but I’m still very excited by all the great new friends I made, sights I saw, and shows I played! Solo recordings are forthcoming, but for now please enjoy this video of a free improv set I played in Sacramento with Suki O’Kane and Edward Schocker. Back home, things keep moving. This Saturday in Brooklyn, my group thingNY is performing newly revised excerpts from our forthcoming experimental opera This Takes Place Close By at JACK, and the following Saturday an awesome lineup of five acts I curated will play outdoors at a block party during the huge art event Bushwick Open Studios – including myself, performing a couple of pieces from my tour. Then in less than a month, I fly to Europe for a month touring with The World/Inferno Friendship Society! Read on below.

Impromptu performance of Luciano Berio’s Sequenza for solo violin in Joshua Tree National Park on last month’s solo tour

Please save the week of September 20-27 for the official premiere run of thingNY‘s This Takes Place Close By at the amazing Knockdown Center in Queens, but for those who want to see how our work has been progressing, come by this Saturday to JACK. We’ll perform 40 minutes or so of material from the piece, much of it extensively revised from previous versions we’ve presented. It’s part of three days of theatrically driven contemporary music curated by percussionist/composer Dennis Sullivan, who shares the night with us in a duo with fellow badass percussionist Levy Lorenzo. If you’re a fan of badassery, be there!

The following week, I’m extremely excited to have curated the music acts at the Grattan Street Performance Block Party for the second year in a row! (Under thingNY’s name, but it was all me.) The music starts at 12:30pm with Oxygen Ensemble, a funk/free jazz project of Thomas Bell of Spread Art. I play solo at 1:30pm, performing Paul Pinto‘s virtuoso piece for speaking violinist mini_005 and my own dreamy violin/electronics piece Magical Kingdom of Dust. New Thread Quartet, an excellent new music sax quartet featuring fellow thingNY member Erin Rogers, plays at 2:30pm along with guitarist Luke Schwartz, then the intense duo Naked Roots Conducive (Valerie Kuehne and Natalia Steinbach) presents their particular weird brand of violin/cello-driven singer-songwriter performance art. The amazing futurist avant-jazz/rock trio Cacaw ends the lineup at 4:30pm. Between each music act will be performance art acts curated by Spread Art, plus installations and art trucks, cold beverages at event sponsor Pine Box Rock Shop, and ALL OF THE ART in the open studios next door!

Just before I head to Europe, I play a mysterious and sultry violin in the immersive theater production Serenade. I won’t say much about it, but if you seek a lavish night out on the town that includes dinner and drinks in the company of dark spirits, go to the website and explore.

Now for my big European tour in June and July, the longest I’ve ever been on and my first big tour in Europe: most of the cities are in Germany, but we’ll also make stops in Scotland, England, Denmark, the Czech Republic, and Austria. So many cities I’ve never been to before!!! I’m looking forward to practicing my German, and to being back on the road with the crazy punks in the World/Inferno Friendship Society. Seriously, if you’ve never been to a World/Inferno show, you’re missing out. The energy at the shows is incredible. It’s also a great place to try stage diving for the first time – I tell you from experience! Please tell all your friends in the European cities on the shows page that we’re going to invade their cities and blow their minds, and by the way – rent my room while I’m away!

I’m also pretty astonished to announce that a piece I recorded nine years ago as a student at Oberlin Conservatory is out this week on John Zorn’s Tzadik label! The CD is dedicated to the music of the formidable composer Jason Eckardt, and the piece is his piano concerto Trespass featuring the equally redoubtable pianist Marilyn Nonken, with the Oberlin Contemporary Music Ensemble conducted by Tim Weiss and 21-year-old me on second violin. It sounds fricking awesome. You should buy a copy here.

And I recently added a page to my website for MY WALKING TOURS OF NYC! Please check it out. If you’re in town, I’d love to take you on a tour of the Lower East Side, Chinatown/Little Italy, or Southside and South Williamsburg…or more tours to be announced!

Finally, please enjoy my first ever review on Yelp, which is basically a novel about Di Fara Pizza. If you read this far, I love you.

I’ll make this brief: at Roulette last night, we performed a 25-minute version of Gelsey’s piece, which is a work in progress. It’s a game piece with a fragmented score/story broken up among cards in a Rolodex that we can move between according to rules she’s devised. It’s cool, as were three other works of experimental opera by Roddy Bottum, Jason Cady, and Aaron Siegel. Stay tuned for more Rolodex!

There’s so much I could say about my tour. What I’m playing: a quirky 30-minute selection of my own music for solo violin and live electronics under the heading Jeffrey Young’s Magical Kingdom of Dust, including in-your-face theatrics, comedy, unabashed shredding, and dreamy, oceanic soundscapes. I’ll also play Paul Pinto‘s mini_005, the short piece for speaking violinist and retuned violin he wrote for me, and on some concerts Luciano Berio’s intense Sequenza VIII for solo violin. Other than that, I’ll let the list on the shows page speak for itself. Please tell your friends to come to my shows in Berkeley, Los Angeles, Joshua Tree, Tucson, Phoenix, Flagstaff, Santa Fe, Greeley, Cheyenne, Provo, Reno, Sacramento, or San Francisco! If they ask what they might hear, send them this podcast I did with Doug Laustsen, where I delve deep into the Magical Kingdom of Dust: http://radio.lownote.net/2015/01/episode-182-with-jeffrey-young.

Finally, I’ve been enjoying my performances with Rachel Mason and her film The Lives of Hamilton Fish. If you live in or near DC, please come out to see us perform at the Corcoran School on April 22. It’ll be my welcome-back-to-the-East-Coast party!

Hi in 2015! So far the new lustrum is much the same as old. But new this quinquennium are amazing shows in New York and Boston: thingNY is collaborating with indie-pop-en-español singer/songwriter Helado Negro on the Ecstatic Music Festival at Merkin Hall this Wednesday, then Friday at the Advent Library Music Series in Boston. The Ecstatic Music Festival is a pretty big deal in both the avant-garde/experimental classical and the indie rock scenes, which, ya know, is where I live. So please please come out and support!

g-h-o-s-t c-r-o-w-n (working title) during tech week

g-h-o-s-t c-r-o-w-n (working title) is a dance work of just over an hour. I’ve created original music to accompany the majority of it, with myself on violin and live electronics, and with the musicians listed above on viola, bass clarinet, and upright bass, respectively – all filtered through my electronics. The Huffington Post says it’s a must-see. But mostly, you should come see it because I’ve been working so hard on it! A warning to those who might be offended: there is full nudity in the piece.

To summarize the rest of the month: Duke Guillaume’s Metropolitan Gospel Big Band should be pure fun. The compositions are religiously inspired, but they’re instrumental, and one doesn’t need to be religious to enjoy them. And do please let me know if you’d like to come to the awesome night of improv on October 20! I’ll be playing with some amazing musicians – check out the lineup on the right.

Finally, you should also check out the shows on the right I’ll be playing with World/Inferno next month! They’ve been around since the ’90s playing an extremely high energy music I might call cabaret punk (think Gogol Bordello meets the Pogues), but I first saw them play a few years ago at Music Hall of Williamsburg and was blown away by their live show. So I’m super excited to now be playing in the band on tour! If you have any friends on the route, please let them know.

Tardigrades,
Jeff

This month Food Will Win the War is in residence at Pete’s Candy Store every Wednesday night. Tomorrow, I join Valerie Kuehne for her first New York performance in nine months. At the end of the month, thingNY is joined by our Bay Area counterparts Thingamajigs for a week of music- and instrument-making. Details below!

Freaking out with thingNY at The Firehouse Space in June.

Every Wednesday night in August at 10pm, Food Will Win the War is in residence at Pete’s Candy Store in Williamsburg, our favorite neighborhood bar – it’s around the corner from our rehearsal studio – and the place I played my first show with the band. We started the residency with a tribute to Elliott Smith, then the following week played an all-acoustic show. The final two weeks feature full band sets of mostly originals. No cover!

Tomorrow, Saturday the 16th, cellist and professional madwoman Valerie Kuehne is back in town for the first time in months! I’ll be joining her alongside two other intrepid improvising violinists, Storm Garner and Natalia Jenkins. Mayhem will ensue. Also on the bill: Jonathan Wood Vincent and Public Speaking.
Also when a man is in sheer stress he tends to have http://deeprootsmag.org/2016/02/14/an-octopus-opus-more-gripping-than-eight-tentacles/ cialis online this sexual issue in his life.

This increases the blood circulation in viagra canada pharmacy the organs of male reproductive system. Sometimes quickies lasting only a sildenafil tablets 50mg few minutes are all that couples can have time for important things.
The month ends with a week-long exploration of instrument building, alternate tuning systems, long-form improvisation, and all things thing, when Bay Area group Thingamajigs joins thingNY to develop new work, partly at the Knockdown Center, an incredible space in Maspeth, Queens, and partly at an abandoned Citibank in Midtown (organized for us by chashama). Our final presentation on August 29 will be invite-only, but if this really excites you and you let me know you’d like an invitation, I’ll see what I can do.

Finally, please keep on your radar the premiere week of a new dance piece by RoseAnne Spradlin with original score by me: the second week in October at New York Live Arts! It’s my biggest project right now and will be for the next couple months. Tickets go on sale on Monday – more info here.

Peace in the Middle East,

Hi! Check out my new website, developed by Brian McCorkle of Panoply Performance Laboratory! Let me know what you think about it. Then…get out of your apartment – it’s springtime! – and come down to Rockwood Music Hall. Food Will Win the War takes the stage at 11pm tonight, and there’s no cover! On Thursday night, get into my apartment. I’m not playing, but I’m hosting a great night of music and dance as part of Mara Mayer’s Home Audio series (more info on facebook here, email me for my address). This Friday night, go to church – I will literally be stomping, clapping, yelling, and banging rocks together in a new piece by composer Jerome Kitzke, at a historic church in Brooklyn Heights.

Visiting Banff after shows with thingNY in Calgary and Edmonton!

Next Tuesday, I’ll be playing music by Bach and by 20th-century Russian composer Alfred Schnittke at a church in Williamsburg. On Friday, May 30, it’s my second show in NYC with Westchester-based folk rocker Bill Steely. Mark your calendar for June 7, when Food Will Win the War returns to Mercury Lounge as part of Dream Day NYC (our drummer, Dan, is endorsed by Dream Cymbals and Gongs). And look ahead for more music in June with Minnie Dee and thingNY, including a really exciting collaboration between thingNY and youth new music ensemble Face the Music!
