Motorcycle in the Kitchen, ETHEL uptown
Bill got a new consulting gig, and got his motorcycle back as well. It's sitting in front of the MAME. Fuckin' funny. I spent more time cleaning tech and the lab and putting stuff in my room. Me and Jas chatted and video conferenced again. Tonight if all goes as planned, I'm going to see ETHEL with LJ.

Ethel, New York City's hottest string quartet will play the complete string quartets of two of New York's most daring composers in 3 shows. Hear John Zorn's polyglot virtuosity meet Julia Wolfe's post-minimalist rock 'n' roll aesthetic. Paired with these high-voltage works are world premieres from five other maverick New York City composers. Ethel's members are seriously dangerous players, and have seen action with Sheryl Crow, Bang on a Can, Reba McEntire, the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, Roger Daltrey, the Steve Reich Ensemble, and Joe Jackson, to name but a few past gigs.
Tonight
Julia Wolfe - Four Marys, Todd Reynolds - five episodes for strings (world premiere), Randall Woolf - Gorillas for video, string quartet, and electronics (world premiere) and John Zorn - Memento Mori
