July 19, 12-2 at Jamaica Plain Porchfest 2014, 6 Cerina Road
July 26 around 6pm at Out of the Blue Art Gallery
19th Century Estey Pump Organ from Vermont. Playing a theme from my art song (harp, voice, cello, bassoon) while Chris is mixing it in the other room. You have to pump the air with your feet:)http://www.esteyorgan.com/
Show coming up on May 23. I made the flyer out of a songbook page from the 1300’s called the Codex Manesse.
Bassoon time. Our last recording experiment of the week. @cr_mclaughlin
Recording the sinewy cello tones of Catherine Bent. @cr_mclaughlin
I am featured in Sonic Explorations #12 from Stompbox Sonic– they call this the whammy bar one:) Our FX experiments led to pedal steel sounds during the first half of the video, and the second half is all shimmer. Enjoy!
Discovered 1920’s parlor instrument called the Rolmonica. Marketed as a “pocket player piano.” (at New Bedford Antiques At The Cove)
Going through old photos/projects/drives. Opened up an unfinished animation project from 2010. Mostly made out of melted records and cut-up record covers and shot on a homemade multiplane animation stand.
1867 Recording Studio. I’ve been experimenting here for the past two years– harps, cellos, bassoon, timpani, space echo, wine, etc. Last session in a year-long project (well, hopefully anyway). Taking pictures while Chris fixes my edits. One of my favorite places.
This is the festival trailer that Camerata (the media company I am building with Jeannie Greeley) created to celebrate the 30th Boston LGBT Film Festival. It plays before each film in the program and premiered 4/3/14 at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. It is part of a larger multimedia project dedicated to showing the faces of the Boston LGBT community and exploring the past and future of the LGBT movement.
Sunday school with @stompboxsonic. FX for harpists. Angel noises. (at Berklee College of Music)

The latest clip from the Sonic Explorations video series for Stompbox Sonic, where I improvise with unique pedal combinations. Found some pretty pizzicato string sounds.
Tbt realtime. First visit to our childhood home in 7 years. @angelaharrer
Sample Experimental Educational Video 2
Video I made about ADSR for Berklee College of Music. One chapter of many about music production. The whole series uses visual metaphors to teach abstract concepts.
Lily Munster sings and plays harp. Synchronization is dubious and quality poor, but still fun:)
Sandra Musique, clown nun of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Best name ever.
About to experience drum massage:)
Steampunkbydesign’s high-end railroad lantern speakers. (at Audio Concepts) Just met the folks from this place. Their mission is “Integrating Technology into Recycled and Repurposed Period Objects.”http://steampunkbydesign.com/

One of my antique harps. Attempting to tune.
