I’ve been back in NYC for only a couple of days, yet somehow there’s already another packed stretch this April!
First up, I’ll be making my TV Eye debut opening for Christian Stadsgaard’s Vanity Productions project on the 10th as part of a stellar bill with Jackson-Pratt, Imminent Death, & DJ Broken Pillar in the mix; very excited to finally get to play a more aggressive set on the venue’s d&b Audiotechnik system, which I rate as one of the city’s best. Christian’s an old friend (I played a concert in his apartment in København in 2003!); looking forward to catching up.
Then, on the 19th I’ll return to the now-legendary Sunday-night Stereo Mandrax series for a reprise of my duo w/ Chuck Bettis on a, frankly, incredible program pairing David Watson & Bill Nace, the father-daughter project of Borbetomagus‘ Don & Camille Dietrich, & a bonus closing DJ set by Iggor Cavalera (full disclosure: I all but cornered Iggor backstage at a 1993 Sepultura/Biohazard show at The Academy & had that awkward megafan conversation; hope he doesn’t remember!) Chuck & I have a drum-heavy concept that we’ll debut that night; not to be missed!
Finally, the Alpha State residency returns to The Lot on the 20th for a 2-hour B2B session with C. Lavender; expect a mix of obscure synth, film music, and related fields – looking forward to this one! Make sure to book a ticket for Lavender’s hosted screening of all-time favorite Phase IV as part of Alamo Drafthouse’s “Weird Wednesdays” at their DTBK/City Point/Albee Square location.
After all of this I’ll be taking a break to regroup, rebuild, & record for most of May, although there’s plenty more confirmed & on the books/horizon during the summer, including a first-ever duo performance with Chris Goudreau for the just-announced No Fun New Perspectives festival at Roulette, a further appearance w/ Chuck at the Abasement series at Artists Space, a trip to Chicago for the Sound & Gravity festival & another West-Coast jaunt in the Fall including a stop at Indexical – I’m also in the process of hashing out trips to Portland, ME & Newark, DE for performances over the summer; will share details when its all confirmed!

PS. Just noticed this on YouTube™; back in July 2016 I was approached by New Zealand -based writer, visual artist, musician, and filmmaker Paul Amlehn about contributing to an ongoing cycle of collaborations featuring pretty much a who’s who of contemporary sound-people (Dean Hurley, Christoph De Babalon, BJ Nilsen, Leo Abrahams, Mark Spybey, Ulrich Krieger, etc.) This piece features Pauline Kim Harris & Conrad Harris (aka String Noise) over a deep-bed sub-bass Make Noise tELHARMONIC improvisation around Paul’s “Compositional system, catalyst texts and vocals for music creation, editing, mixing, production” involving Franz Kafka’s Die Verwandlung (The Metamorphosis); enjoy!
