Abandoned Time, a new cd with the new music ensemble ICE, is now available on ITunes. The recording features five ensemble pieces featuring guitar which have become staple repertoire works for ICE, by Magnus Lindberg, Kaija Saariaho, Mario Davidovsky, Du Yun, and Dai Fujikura. Check out the Chicago Reader and AllMusicGuide reviews of the record. Art of the States picked up our recording of Davidovsky's Festino, as well as the recording of John Link's For Irving Lippel off of the Sustenance album, for their great program of international radio distribution to fifty radio stations around the world.
In early June, I played recitals at several wonderful venues in Germany , with concerts in Konigs Wusterhausen, Steffenshagen, Retschow, a presentation to the guitar department on contemporary guitar repertoire at the Hanns Eisler Hochschule in Berlin, and performances at alternative spaces in Berlin and Magdeburg. The programs featured a fantastic new solo piece, entitled Red Wall, written by my good friend and colleague Reiko Fueting, composition faculty member at Manhattan School of Music.

Flexible Music has released FM, the group's debut cd on New Focus Recordings. We had a great cd release event at the Tenri Cultural Institute in New York, where the group unveiled several exciting new pieces by Seung-Ah Oh, Ross Bauer, John Psathas, and Carl Schimmel. Upcoming FM gigs include October performances on the Macau International Music Festival in China and at the Brooklyn Queens Conservatory of Music, and in March at the Kennedy Center. Check the calendar for forthcoming details.
It'll be a fun and busy summer, with chamber performances on the Monadnock Chamber Music Festival in New Hampshire, a Japan tour with Mice Parade, and a performance of the music of John Adams with ICE on the Mostly Mozart Festival in August.
