If I may build on the "For those of you in the Bay Area", the performances currently scheduled are: - a collaboration with techno DJ Sean Ocean as part of Other Cinema's Optronica <http://www.othercinema.com/calendar/> program this Saturday (2 Mar) in San Francisco's Mission District. Guaranteed to be a lively evening. - a collaboration with Unpopular Electronics (Gino Robair & Tom Djll) as part of the West Oakland Sound Series <http://sfsound.org/series/#2024.3.3> this Sunday (3 Mar) at the Paul Dresher Ensemble Studio this Sunday. We're paired with a hard-to-categorize set of vocal works (John Cage, Morton Feldman, Henri Pousseur, Elliott Carter, troubadours, trouveres & minnesingers) that'll be performed by Ann Callaway (who I don't know) and Richard Mix (who is remarkable). - much yet TBD for the 54th Salon at The MilkBar <https://milkbar.org/> in Richmond, CA, the evening of 5 Apr. I have hours of documentation footage to edit but you're welcome to view some early tests of my Salesforce Tower project in this Vimeo showcase <https://vimeo.com/showcase/10862581>. I'll continue to upload edited final versions there. An article about artists Jim Campbell & Emma Strebel, <https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/san-francisco-salesforce-tower-art-installation-18682884.php> who run the Tower project, appeared on SFGate yesterday. I am hoping to perform for the first time in the Pacific Northwest (NACIS if not sooner), Southern California, & Salt Lake City (State of the Map) this year, and to return to the Midwest & East Coast in the autumn. I don't wish to spam MAPS-L with details of each as they emerge but my (underused) mailing list <https://erictheise.com/mailing-list/> & Instagram feed <https://www.instagram.com/erictheise/> are the best ways to stay informed about these projects.
