 John Cage said "Most musicians can't hear a single sound. They listen only to the relationship between two or more sounds"
This show will be about exploring and exposing those relationships- Rock, Punk, Post-punk, Jazz, Soul, Dub Reggae...fundamentally they are all just noise with a beat"

Rain. It rains quite a bit here in Portland. It's where we get one of the city's many nicknames, puddle town. I love the rain. I love the smell of rain. I love the sound of rain as impacts on earth, stone, rooftops and cars. Without water, there'd be no life. So, here are a... Read more
