The end of 2018 has a lot in store for me. It starts with two performances in Montreal, QC.
1. JESSE PERLSTEIN'S "LISTENING OUT LOUD" (The Möbius Chorus) @ NEVER APART - 8.18.18
The first performance is for Jann Tomaro's PRACTICE series. I am premiering a piece "The Möbius Chorus", a performance based on Pauline Oliveros's Deep Listening practices. It will be a participatory piece, sound fueled by the voices of the attendees. It will be hosted by NEVER APART GALLERY on Saturday, August 18th at 4pm and it's Free.

2. SONTAG FACTORY OOZE ENSEMBLE @ LA VITROLA - 8.19.18
I will also be performing as part of Sontag Shogun's "Factory Ooze Ensemble" a 9-piece improvisation based on the ambient tenants of Sontag's compositions. The ensemble will be filled out with local (montreal) musicians such as J.S. Truchy (Le Fly Pan Am), Ilichna Morasky (StrangerFamiliar), Ida Toninato, Jonathan Parant (Le Fly Pan Am), Sam Bobony (Avec Le Soleil), Anne F. Jacques & more...

I was asked to create the sound design and score the latest episode of Aliya Pabani's Canadian arts/culture podcast The Imposter. This episode centers around creators within Montreal's independent pornography scene. Her entire podcast is funny, compassionate, informative and beautiful. Go listen to all her episodes, but specifically this one:
if you dig that you'll dig this episode where i composed a drone that forms a cult:
Jesse will be joining his longtime collaborator Jeremy Young for a 4-day tour titled Braided Sound. The concept behind this tour is to create new music each night by bringing in local musicians from each city and forming an improvisational ensemble. Each ensemble is guided by a map of lines, twisting, undulating and braiding, and each musician is given a line to interpret. Each performance will be recorded in the hopes of broadcasting them at a later date.
Here are the dates:
4.18.18
Amsterdam, NL @ Cafe De Ruimte, improvisation with Frank Rosaly, Asuna Arashi & Otto Kokke (Dead Neanderthals) + Leonie Roessler & Sohrab Motabar duo
4.20.18
Rotterdam, NL @ Roodkapje, improvisation with Machinefabriek
4.21.18
Düsseldorf, DE @ Kunstraum Düsseldorf, improvisation with Echo Ho & Frauke Berg
4.22.18
Berlin, DE @ Spektrum, improvisation with FS Blumm, Midori Hirano & Sayaka Botanic + Maxwell August Croy
