Too-Late Update: AfterMAF 2024 Performances

Although the actual CV that occupies most of this site is kept pretty well up to date (always within a month or less), I'm terrible at posting blog updates. Here's another sporadic attempt to catch up – I'll back up a little over a month and start with this year's AfterMAF Festival in June, which I co-organised with Ralph Eaton & where I performed a ton in various collaborative and solo situations. (That's my flyer too.) I'll just paste in the relevant section from the "Performances" tab, with links to video documentation of each piece. (Incidentally, I'm behind on embedding videos in the "Video Documentation" tab, but there are links embedded in the actual event entries in the Performance tab, when available.)
