A first show was a NANA festival in Erie Pennsylvania. Looking to do this again. Referencing history and the intimacy of breath and bag, the pipes are improvised and processed through modular synthesis, as the vibrations move through different modes drawing on a set of standard ornamentations. Animations visually refer to connections with nature, strange creatures, and historical artistic representations. Hated, loved, misunderstood, this experimental performance finds its grounding in an archival interview, then explores a range of expressions with live animation projected on and around the Highland pipes and piper.
