Yelena Zhelezov, Chi-Wang Yang and I will be performing “The Live-Long Day”, a cross between multimedia theater performance and fine art installation. Yelena is an exciting, playful artist and puppetrix who has a talent for creating wonderfully oblique metaphorical instantiations of ideas that manage to be both whimsical and critically engaged. Chi-Wang is a theater director and artist who constantly redefines the boundaries and possibilities of theatrical and non-theatrical performative experience. If you can, please come see the result of our efforts!

Sunday, April 10, 11pm-2am: KXLU

The sincere and engaging Mystic Pete has invited me to play live and share some music on his great show on KXLU. I’ll be playing a lot of esoteric and beautiful music by friends and people I admire who combine art, academia, electronics and songwriting.

Sunday, April 17, 3:30pm: Outpost for Contemporary Art

I’ll be reading with Lidia Yuknavitch and Janice Lee on family and abjection. Janice is a deeply theoretical and fascinating writer who manages to represent the emotional complexities of human existence and cognition. Lidia is an incredibly engaging reader and writer, who’s work ranges over several genres, but is always both critically informed, inventive, and affecting.

Sunday, April 17, evening/night: The Smell (Downtown LA)

I’ll be playing with Daylong Valleys of the Nile (members of Lavender Diamond—and talented at combining complex harmonic movement with an energetic, improvised feel) and the wonderful Girls in Trouble (who beautifully weave informed and innovative readings of esoteric religious figures with intricate songwriting and compelling, interlocking melodies—Highly Recommended bands and venue and altogether night!

btw, all future events will conform to the formalism of a kind of ad hoc fibonacci-ish sequence…. so, April 7, 10, 17, 27…….

I’m slotted for 10:30 (after Daniel Ahearn and Marcus Very Ordinary), and think that I will be going on pretty precisely at that time, so be warned, and not late!

etc.
Hope you can come!

Most music lovers discover the discreet charm and amazing therapeutic power of gentle music when their lives enter the hectic phase (late 20s?). Here at The Deli we created a genre category for this kind of music, called “Mellow Core“. Belonging to this genre is Careful, the project of published writer, orchestral composer, visual artist, and part time builder-of-robots Eric Lindley. His tunes, tied together by a soft, whispered approach and by attention to texture, mix more or less traditional songwriting with sparse and dreamy electronic effects, often slightly dissonant, but always tastefully realized. Careful will be playing live at Death By Audio on April 30th – mark your calendars.  -The Deli Magazine

Please join us for the final presentation of Lay Science, a puppet show / science experiment by Eric Lindley and Katie Shook. They’ll be presenting a rundown of the data they’ve collected over the past several weeks, along with statistical analysis to see if their original, mysterious hypothesis is relevant, along with unusual or unexpected or simply comical findings. There will be a full reveal of the experiment and what inspired it, a performance of the piece for everyone in attendance, and an opportunity to talk with Eric and Katie as well as volunteers and participants about the experience, general discussion about science and art, and general closing merriment with general food.
