Planet MicroJam presents: 
Axis of Equals 
"A multiplicity of voices is a template for healing." 
featuring guest artist beat boxer Adam Matta with David Fiuczynski - fretless guitars Utar Artun - microtonal keyboards 

Axis of Equals offers visions of varying cultures and textures, integrated through musical collaboration and invention. David Fiuczynski and the Planet Microjam Institute host beat box extraordinaire Adam Matta and work with students to create music that combines an ear for traditional sounds with contemporary arrangements, instrumentation and groove. Pop and urban rhythms intersect with ancient musical forms from the Arab and Jewish worlds and collide with microtonal melodies and harmonies, celebrating the new and the old, the catchy and the eclectic. Adam Matta is a Beatboxer/vocal percussionist from New York, merges hip hop, house, dnb, jazz, middle eastern and rock. Grammy-nominated with The Carolina Chocolate Drops.

Proud to announce that I will be a part of Pawel Althamer's installation at the New Museum for Contemporary Art. The artist has enlisted street performers to play outside the museum, while their music is broadcast live inside the gallery, as part of the installation.
Feb 20, 11am-230pm
Performing outdoors as part of Pawel Althamer's art installation, The Neighbors
New Museum for Contemporary Art
The New Museum presents the first US museum exhibition of the work of Paweł Althamer.
Since the early 1990s, Althamer (b. 1967 Warsaw, Poland) has established a unique artistic practice featuring an expanded approach to sculptural representation and consistently experimental models of social collaboration. Althamer is predominantly known for the figurative sculptures he creates of himself, his family, and various other individuals within his community. Beyond simple portraiture, these sculptures, in addition to the other activities he is involved in, highlight the complex social, political, and psychological networks in which he lives and operates.
