Myung Mi Kim (born December 6, 1957) is a Korean American poet noted for her postmodern writings. Kim and her family immigrated to the United States when she was nine years old. She holds a Masters of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa and lectured for some years on creative writing at the San Francisco State University. She is currently Professor of English at the University at Buffalo.

Timothy Yu places Kim in a group of Asian American poets at the close of the 20th century (also including John Yau and Mei-mei Berssenbrugge) who focused on "fragmentation, linguistic exploration, and cultural hybridity". Her work has been described as having the strongest influence on the direction of Asian American poetry throughout the 2000s.

When asked about her relationship with the English language, she said, "Language acquisition [...] has put on alert for me the way practices of language may contribute to producing hegemonic, normative cultural practices. As a poet I am constantly thinking about this intrinsic problem and exploring modes of relating to and generating language that pluralize sense-making."

Themes
According to Sueyeun Juliette Lee, Kim's literary method is driven by the idea that "the forces that have displaced and moved bodies across the globe become legible when we track the traces of the lives they touched." Lee also says that Dura, and much of Kim's work, demonstrates the motivated and partial nature of totalizing knowledge. Lee implies that Kim wants humans' actual relations to history and time recognized as more complex than notions like progress suggest.

Reviews
Edgar C. Knowlton, Jr. reviewed Dura positively in World Literature Today, claiming that "the poet has mastered the intricacies of English". In a review of Josephine Nock-Hee Park's Apparitions of Asia, Timothy Yu referred to Kim as one of the most challenging writers in the Asian American canon but also as a "major writer". Steven G. Yao of Hamilton College notes, however, that Asian American writers such as Li-Young Lee, Marilyn Chin, David Mura, Kimiko Hahn, and Timothy Liu have received more popular and scholarly attention than Kim.

In a review of Dura, Sueyeun Juliette Lee called her poetry "beautiful in its percussive, incisively unflinching attention to language, and also in its gentle envelopment of the slightest sentiments." A Publishers Weekly reviewer described Commons (2002) as her best book up to that point, saying the poems "[articulate] our often hidden and difficult ties to each other". Yu favorably compared Commons and Penury (2009) with her first collection Under Flag (1991), writing that "Kim has sharpened and broadened her political critiques in response to an evolving landscape of global capitalism, disaster, terror, and violence."

Turtle Island String Quartet to open BGSU Festival Series
August 31, 2011 all, eventscdahn
The music of legendary guitarist Jimi Hendrix is the inspiration for the first concert in Bowling Green State University's 2011-12 Festival Series. The Turtle Island String Quartet opens the season with a program titled "Have You Ever Been …?" at 8 p.m. Sept. 23 in Kobacker Hall of the Moore Musical Arts Center.
Fusing jazz and classical styles, the quartet has defined American chamber music for over 25 years. From stages around the globe to international airwaves, the Turtle Island Quartet is the most acclaimed ensemble of its kind. The group has won two Grammy Awards for Best Classical Crossover Album and has recorded on Telarc, Koch, Chandos, and Windham Hill Jazz.
A Turtle Island concert can easily move from world music to rock and from jazz to bluegrass. All four members of the group are acclaimed improvisers and arrangers, their performances buoyed by founding members David Balakrishnan's visionary multi-movement works and Mark Summer's remarkable cello technique.
Their "Have you ever been . . .?" program features compositions inspired by and reflective of Hendrix's, including Balakrishnan's "Tree of Life" and a solo rendition of Hendrix's "Little Wing" by Summer.
Tickets go on sale Sept. 16. For information, call the Moore box office weekdays from noon-6 p.m. at 1-800-589-2224 or 419-372-8171, or email musictickets@bgsu.edu

Mark and 4 other competitors each performed one original composition in front of renown guitar judges Muriel Anderson, Reeves Grabrels, Carl Verheyen and host Larry Carlton. Mark took the cake with his piece titled "Flight Attempt." Fredrik Halland from Norway placed second and Arek Religa from Chicago came in third.
Currently based in Williamsburg, VA, Mark graduated from Bowling Green State University in 2008 with a Bachelor of the Arts in music. He resided in Bowling Green for a year following graduation to teach guitar and perform in his ska / punk band, The Argonauts.
Mark plays two guitar necks at the same time, one with each hand. His style is reminiscent of the late Michael Hedges and draws influence from guitarists such as Leo Kottke, Phil Keaggy and Tommy Emmanuel as well as various punk and indie rock bands.
Mark has been on tour since May, 2010 save a few short breaks for rest, playing concerts or giving clinics every other night on average. Mark plays at bars, coffee houses, listening rooms, churches, schools, house concerts and just about any kind of venue available.

El NED Synclavier (sovint anomenat simplement Synclavier) és un instrument musical electrònic creat per la marca New England Digital (NED); com el seu rival directe, el Fairlight CMI, estava format per un sintetitzador digital, un sampler i un seqüenciador.

Història
El precursor del Synclavier va ser un sintetitzador digital, creat entre els anys 1972 i 1975 per Cameron Jones i Sydney Alonso, al Dartmouth College, inicialment amb finalitats acadèmiques. Mentrestant, a més, Jones i Alonso crearen d'altres productes, com un processador de 16 bits anomenat ABLE, que fou la base de la primera versió del Synclavier, apareguda el 1979; ja aleshores el professor Jon Appleton i Brad Naples s'havien afegit a l'equip inicial de Jones i Alonso.

Poc després aparegué la primera actualització del model, anomenada Synclavier II, amb la qual l'ínstrument començà a ser conegut en els cercles musicals. Aquesta versió incorporava el mètode de síntesi sonora per modulació de freqüència (FM) -que més endavant popularitzaria el sintetitzador Yamaha DX7-, memòria RAM interna de 32 MB i un sistema d'emmagatzematge en un disc dur exterior. A mesura que la popularitat del Synclavier augmentava, se li anaren afegint millores, com la incorporació del mostreig de sons externs amb una resolució de 16 bits i una freqüència de mostreig de 50 kHz (superior a la qualitat de so del disc compacte), i els sistemes de sincronia externs SMPTE i MIDI.

Posteriorment, ja l'any 1984, aparegué la versió més moderna del Synclavier, amb la possibilitat de mostrejar sons en estèreo, una revisió del sistema de síntesi FM (ara amb 16 bits), un seqüenciador de 200 pistes i un teclat sensible a la velocitat i a la postpulsació, com els teclats dels pianos. Totes aquestes millores internes i externes van encarir encara més el preu del producte final, ja des de bon principi (diversos centenars de milers de dòlars) prohibitiu per als usuaris quotidians i només accessible als músics i estudis més adinerats. Així i tot, les seves qualitats musicals i la seva versatilitat el van convertir en un instrument molt preuat, i encara avui és una eina de primer nivell per a enginyers de so i compositors de bandes sonores.

El 1991, New England Digital va haver de plegar; des d'aleshores, la companyia Demas s'encarrega de la distribució mundial dels models disponibles del Synclavier.

If you wish to apply for a loan modification hardship, it's crucial that you thoroughly understand how it works. This financial assistance option will aid you and help you from foreclosure when financial problems take place and can save you more money than opting for a traditional refinance.
Hardship loans are methods by which you will be given the opportunity to restructure your present mortgage into a more affordable and better finance. This delineates that the policies of the loan will be changed, though the lending institution or lender will be the same. Modifications to your current mortgage in general integrate cutting back your interest rate to obtain more affordable monthly payments. In most instances, a modification is the sole strategy for homeowners who do not have the means to refinance their homes to prevent committing default or facing foreclosure.
Like loans for the unemployed, loan modifications are typically utilized by people facing financial difficulties and are experiencing quandaries handling their loan payments. But, there are several homeowners who remain up to date with their loans, but are still considered as "underwater" – meaning, the amount owed on the property is more than the value of the house.
If this is the case with you, it is necessary that you carry out a forensic loan audit to permit the loss mitigation specialist to validate that the original submission, terms, as well as the lending guidelines were all acquiescent during the time the loan was initially processed. If any errors are reported in the audit of the original loan, loan modification is essential to fix the discrepancies.
Through a loan modification hardship letter, the most typical result is a momentary reduction in interest rates, saving you more money every month. You should note though that even if the term "momentary" appears to be a short-term reduction, it is not always the case. The rates of interest may be cut down for years, particularly if the homeowners transact with skilled loss mitigation company.
Regrettably there are numerous modification scams, thus you need to carry out each of your step carefully, specifically in choosing the company to assist you in modifying your mortgages. The main indicator of scams involves a "guarantee" that your loan will surely and successfully be modified by working with them. Remember that there is no guarantee at the start of the process that the terms of the loan may be changed for your benefit. Other red flags may include regular phone calls from modification firms claiming that they work with your current lender. Always keep in mind that loss modification firms are independent companies and are not employed by lending institutions.
To make certain that you are currently working with an experienced and ethical firm, you must be able to evaluate the company's transparency.
Does the firm have a competent and professional website?
Are there positive feedbacks and testimonials from their past clients?
Is the firm a member of any loss mitigation associations, like The Home Loan Modification Association of Companies or the United Loss Mitigation Association?
Validating these things will permit you to feel secured and comfortable that the company you prefer is eligible to assist you in the best possible and most efficient manner.
While with 401k hardship withdrawal, you need to discuss your circumstance with your retirement plan administrator, the first step in requesting for loan modification is to pick a highly regarded company for assistance. The firm will then assess and pre-qualify you for modification, collate all necessary documents, and start working as a backer on your behalf with the lending institution.
The good news is that all huge lending companies furnish loan modification options. Although some of the hard money lenders or smaller companies may not, in general, the well-known and experienced lenders have modification policies.
While you can tap your retirement account and carry out an IRA hardship withdrawal to fix your debts, you must consider a modification once you get caught up in a financial distress. Major signs of hardship include the lack of ability to keep up your payments for your loans, or your house is soon to be foreclosed. When you discover a sign of financial trouble immediately, read sample hardship letter for loan modification and opt for loan modification hardship.


To the Editor: Concerning the Q & A ''Tiffany in Newport'' (May 24). There are two Tiffany windows in Newport, R.I., that John Tschirch, architectural historian at the Preservation Society of Newport County, did not mention. They are to be found in the lovely Trinity Church on Spring Street.

Q: How to write multiple conditional statements for loc dataframe with operators I'm trying to create a loc dataframe with multiple conditional statements. The problem I am having is that when I use and 'and' operator for my second conditional statement, I get the error below.
As a side problem, is there any better way to seperate the conditional statements than with |.
My code:
df = df2.loc[(df2['Position'] == 0) | (df2['TABNo'] == 0 and df2['IsBarrierTrial'] == 'FALSE')]

Error with and operator:
The truth value of a Series is ambiguous. Use a.empty, a.bool(), a.item(), a.any() or a.all().

A: Make sure they are correctly separated by parenthesis to group the logics and consider using bitwise operator:
df = df2.loc[(df2['Position'] == 0) | ((df2['TABNo'] == 0) & (df2['IsBarrierTrial'] == 'FALSE'))]

Minister: Palestinians won't attend US-led conference in Bahrain
MOHAMAD TOROKMAN/REUTERS
Palestinian officials will not attend a US-led conference in Bahrain next month designed to draw investment to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a Palestinian cabinet minister said on Monday.
"There will be no Palestinian participation in the Manama workshop," Social Development Minister Ahmed Majdalani, who is also a member of the executive committee of the umbrella Palestine Liberation Organization, told Reuters.
"Any Palestinian who would take part would be nothing but a collaborator for the Americans and Israel."
Also Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Shtayyeh said on Monday the Palestinians have not been consulted about the US-led conference designed to encourage international investment in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Washington announced the conference on Sunday, describing it as the unveiling of the first part of President Donald Trump's long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan.
The Palestinians, who have boycotted the Trump administration since it recognized Al-Quds as Israel's capital in late 2017, have shown little interest in discussing the plan.
"The cabinet wasn't consulted about the reported workshop, neither over the content, nor the outcome nor timing," Shtayyeh told Palestinian ministers in the presence of reporters, Reuters reported.
He did not immediately say whether Palestinians would attend the June 25-26 event in Manama, which US officials have predicted will include representatives and business executives from Europe, the Middle East and Asia, as well as some finance ministers.
Shtayyeh reiterated Palestinians' core demands, which include gaining full control of the occupied West Bank and Gaza, as well as East Al-Quds. Israel calls Al-Quds its indivisible capital and said it might declare sovereignty in its West Bank settlements.
Around 600,000 Israelis live in settlements in the occupied West Bank. Israel has controlled the West Bank since seizing it in a 1967 war.
The Trump administration has said its still-secret peace plan would require compromise by both sides. Since being shunned by the Palestinians, it has cut back on US aid for them, contributing to economic hardship in the West Bank and Gaza.
"The financial crisis the Palestinian Authority is living through today is a result of the financial war that is being launched against us in order to win political concessions," Shtayyeh told the cabinet. "We do not submit to blackmail and we don't trade our political rights for money."
Since Palestinians in Gaza began holding Friday rallies along the Gaza fence in March of last year, more than 250 protesters have been killed — and thousands more injured — by Israeli forces.
During Great March of Return demonstrations, Palestinians demand the right of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in historical Palestine from which they were driven in 1948 to make way for the Israeli regime.
They also demand an end to Israel's 12-year blockade of the Gaza Strip, which has gutted the coastal enclave's economy and deprived its roughly two million inhabitants of many basic commodities.

We propose a rule of decision-making, the sequential procedure guided by routes, and show that three influential boundedly rational choice models can be equivalently understood as special cases of this rule. In addition, the sequential procedure guided by routes is instrumental in showing that the three models are intimately related. We show that choice with a status quo bias is a refinement of rationalizability by game trees, which, in turn, is also a refinement of sequential rationalizability. Thus, we provide a sharp taxonomy of these choice models, and show that they all can be understood as choice by sequential procedures.

It's Chico Time in Ely! Chart topper to switch on the Christmas lights
It's going to be Chico time in Ely when the X Factor popstar switches on the Christmas lights later this month. Picture: XMAS LIGHTS SUPPLIED
It's going to be Chico time in Ely when the X Factor popstar switches on the Christmas lights later this month.
The 48-year-old has been announced as the main star for the 15th anniversary of the switch on in the city.
Thousands are set to descend on Ely from 4pm on Friday November 29.
Chico shot to fame after reaching the quarter-finals of the The X Factor in 2005.
In 2006 he went to number one with his single 'It's Chico Time' - knocking Madonna off the top of the charts.
Chico's appearance in Ely is a huge scoop for the Christmas lights team, who feared that they wouldn't be able reach the target sponsorship for the event earlier this year.
Since his X Factor years Chico has staged fundraising events for his charity the Rainbow Child Foundation.
He is currently in talks for his own children's TV show to teach a positive attitude through song and dance.
The cast of KD Productions panto Dick Whittington will also be on stage on the night to get the crowd pumped before Father Christmas performs some magic.

EU's 'no-deal' Brexit plan spells out bad news for British travellers
The European Union on Tuesday published further contingency plans for a "no-deal" Brexit, piling pressure Prime Minister Theresa May by warning that Britons will lose a host of travel rights from recognition of driving licences to lower credit card fees and no mobile roaming charges.
The European Commission, the bloc's executive arm, said that, while it is working hard for a deal, it must prepare for "all outcomes" and "contingency measures in narrowly defined areas" may be needed to protect the EU's interests.
If a deal is agreed then the arrangements could still be applied at the end of any agreed transition period – which under the current withdrawal agreement would be January 1st 2021.
In one measure, Brussels said it will offer visa-free travel within the bloc to Britons on short trips, but warned this was "entirely conditional on the UK also granting reciprocal and non-discriminatory visa-free travel to EU citizens travelling to the UK".
"UK nationals would be exempt from any visa requirement for visits of up to 90 days within a 180-day period. This is entirely conditional on the UK also granting reciprocal and non-discriminatory visa-free travel to EU citizens travelling to the UK."
Frans Timmermans, the vice-president of the European Commission, said: "We will do upon you what you do upon us."
However the Commission notes that "the UK government has already declared its intention not to require a visa from citizens of the EU27 Member States for shorts trips to Britain;
The EU says its visa proposal demonstrates its "commitment to putting citizens first in the negotiations with the UK".
The proposal now needs to be adopted by the European Parliament and the Council.
The Commission published a nine-point advice notice to travellers between the UK and EU about what will happen if Britain crashes out without a deal. It spells out the rights Britons coming to the bloc will no longer enjoy if there is no agreement between London and Brussels.
British driving licences will no longer be recognised automatically by EU countries, leaving UK drivers to check with each country they travel in whether they will need an extra "international driving permit", the notice says.
At airports, UK nationals will no longer be able to use the priority EU passport queue and will be subject to extra questions about the purpose and length of their visit.
When it comes to health a no-deal would mean Brits would not be able to use the European Health Health cards (EHIC) to access treatments.
The warnings of what will happen in the event of a no-deal Brexit echo those already given by the British government earlier this year.

They will also see limits reintroduced on the amount of alcohol and tobacco they can bring into the bloc and may have their bags searched by customs officials.
EU rules protecting air passengers will no longer apply to British flights and airlines, meaning that travellers on them may no longer be able to claim compensation if their flights are delayed or cancelled.
Recently introduced EU rules on mobile data roaming will no longer apply to the UK, allowing mobile phone companies to reimpose extra charges for Britons using their phones abroad.
And Britons were warned about rising costs of paying for gods with bank cards.
"As of the withdrawal date, transactions between the EU-27 and the United Kingdom will no longer be covered by the EU rules limiting interchange fees," read the notice.
"Provided that merchants are allowed to apply surcharges on consumers for card payments, this may lead to a higher surcharge for card payments."
And Britons have also been told they will lose the right under current EU law to seek consular assistance from any EU member state if they are travelling outside the EU.
"As of the withdrawal date, UK nationals will no longer be able to benefit from this right and EU-27 citizens will no longer be able to turn to UK embassies and consulates to seek consular protection on the basis of EU law," the notice reads.
But there is perhaps one silver lining for British tourists, they will be able to claim back VAT on items purchased within Europe when they leave.
In today's Communication the EU also outlines priority areas where it is likely measures could be necessary should it appear likely that the UK will leave the EU "in a disorderly manner".
Among these are citizens' rights and businesses, both areas which could be affected by residency and visa-related issues, as well as financial services, air transport, customs, sanitary, the transfer of personal data, and climate policy.
The Commission has said that: "Any contingency measures would only be taken in limited areas where they are necessary to protect the vital interests of the EU and where preparedness measures are not currently possible.
"They would be temporary in nature, limited in scope, adopted unilaterally by the EU and must remain compatible with EU law."
Various European countries have been stepping up their own preparations for a no-deal Brexit including France and Germany.

…".And Britons were warned about rising costs of paying for gods with bank cards." i had no idea Britons were paying for gods with bank cards. How do I get one of those bank cards? I'll pay the higher costs.

Before you give up the simplicity (and low cost!) of buying deities with cash…["And Britons were warned about rising costs of paying for gods with bank cards…"], think about what happens when you can't make your payments and the EU god-collectors come round.
Seriously, I just wonder how much of this is push-back on both sides. Talk about messy divorces! Nobody is thinking about the children!

The mid-infrared spectrum can be recorded from almost any material, making mid-infrared spectroscopy an extremely important and widely used sample characterization and analysis technique. However, sensitive photoconductive detectors operate primarily in the near-infrared (NIR), but not in the mid-infrared, making the NIR more favorable for accurate spectral analysis. Although the absorption cross section of vibrational modes in the NIR is orders of magnitude smaller compared to the fundamental vibrations in the mid-infrared, different concepts have been proposed to increase the detectability of weak molecular transitions overtones. Yet, the contribution of magnetophotonic structures in the NIR absorption effect has never been explored so far. Here we propose high-Q magnetophotonic structures for a supersensitive detection of weak absorption resonances in the NIR. We analyze the contributions of both magnetic and nonmagnetic photonic crystal configurations to the detection of weak molecular transitions overtones. Our results constitute an important step towards the development of highly sensitive spectroscopic tools based on high-Q magnetophotonic sensors.

Fig. 1. Schematic representation of the proposed sensor. Incident light illuminates the prism, which in turn provides the momentum to excite the quasi-surface modes. The surface modes excite the studied organic molecular vibrations overtones in the PC-based multilayer sensor that is observed in the reflectance spectra of s-polarized light for the nonmagnetic structure and in the transverse MO Kerr effect spectra of p-polarized light for the magnetic structure.

Asturias : Travel Information before you go!
There are flights between London and Oviedo. Allow 1h 55m for direct flights.
Asturias airport is located in the Castrillón municipality, 9 mi from Avilés, 25 mi from Gijón, and 29 mi from Oviedo. According to the AENA Spanish airports website, the airport can be reached from the A-8 motorway and N-632 main road. Travelling from Oviedo, Gijón, and Avilés, the airport exits are very clearly indicated along the A-8 motorway. On the N-632, heading towards A Coruña, take the turning signposted Carcedo Aeropuerto. There is also a large network of taxis and buses to make the journey between the airport and the main towns of the region.
As in any tourist area, you are advised to keep a close eye on your belongings (money and valuables). Don't leave anything of value visible in your car.
The main language is Spanish (Castilian) but other languages are spoken according to the region; Catalan in Catalonia (17%), Basque in the Basque Country (2%) and Galician in Galicia (7%).
- For visits of up to three months you simply require a passport that is valid for the duration of your stay.
- If you wish to stay for a period superior to three months, it is crucial to register in person at the closest Office for Foreigners (Oficina de Extranjeros) usually located in the Town Hall (Ayuntamiento) or at designated Police stations. You must show a valid passport, complete some paperwork and pay a fee. Following this, you will be given an identity number (NIE; Número de Identificación de Extranjeros) and a certificate.
- British nationals do not require a visa to travel to Spain.
Around 71% of the population is Catholic, about 3% other faith and about a quarter is unreligious.
The best exchange rates for cash tend to be at banks and building societies, which can be found in nearly all towns and villages. Banking opening hours are from 8:30am to 2pm Monday to Friday, with some also open on Thursdays from 4pm to 7pm. It is worth asking whether you will need to pay commission before exchanging currency.
Cash and travellers cheques can also be exchanged at exchange offices, which are abundant in tourist areas. Opening hours are often longer than banks, but will cost you more in terms of exchange rate and commission.
Trains are the fastest way to move between cities. The AVE is the Spanish equivalent of the British National Rail. It links Seville and Cordoba to Madrid, but can also be very expensive! To travel from one smaller town to another, you would be better off to rent a car or take the bus and if you can, try and book your car before leaving.
Buses are very widespread and range from fast intercity links to local services connecting small villages. Buses are far less frequent on weekends. Regarding fares, we recommend you book in advance for particularly long trips such as Madrid-Seville. If you are under 26 it is worth asking about discounts.
You can hire cars through international agencies, as they have outlets in every airport and agencies in all the major cities, notably in the central train stations. When you get there, the national companies are well represented and travel agencies also rent out cars for more than a week (your English driving license is sufficient). It is worth remembering that most car rental companies require you to be over 21 and you will need third-party car insurance.
The N4 major road axis goes along the Guadalquivir Valley, via Cadiz, Seville and Cordoba. Seville's city centre of narrow streets can be visited on foot; otherwise, there are four bus lines which circulate around the city.
- Dial 112 for an ambulance in Spain.
Spain, the world's third most popular tourist destination after France and the United States of America, welcomed 43,252,000 tourists in 2010.
Service is included in most places, but it is preferable to leave a tip in hotels, restaurants, bars and taxis. In general, this constitutes 10% of the price you pay.
To call foreign numbers, you will need to know the international dialling code of the country in question before dialling the number itself. If you are foreign and wish to make a call within the country, you will also sometimes be required to enter the dialling code. On some mobile phones, you will need to activate the roaming function in order to be able to receive and make telephone calls to and from foreign countries. Remember to check call rates in order to avoid any nasty surprises when you open your bill after getting back from your holidays. The prefix of the Asturias region is 98.

My name is Michaud, and I'm always making a music thing; sometimes it's a piece for classical guitar, some chamber music, a dark-disco live set, or maybe a lounge jazz tune. I'm always working on something. The thing is, unless you see it, it's hard to know it's there; your support during the meanwhile really makes it a whole bunch easier to keep on keeping on. Patreon presents an easy way, and I am so grateful for it.
In the past, I've played quite a lot of different music and worn many musical hats. As a solo and ensemble guitarist, I have worked in a wide spectrum of musical styles, including jazz, classical, tango, rock, blues, rhythm and blues, latin folkloric music, and experimental realms. As a composer, my works include compositions for guitar, chamber ensembles, orchestra, electronics, Max/MSP, and performance art. I'm also stepping into a role which I've largely abandoned in past years- as a singer and songwriter. It's been a long and winding musical road on which I have had the honor and pleasure to wander upon and arrive at this musical destination. My music reflects all of it's stages and intersections.
I've regularly played in a tango duo with Mirta Wymerszberg, was half of Duo Michma, lead The Ancient Present- a chamber orchestra performing new works- and was an auxiliary member of Correo Aereo. In the past, I have served as musical director and arranger for the Tuesday Tease house band, was a regular guitarist for Bissou (focusing on French jazz and standards from the 1920's-30's), and have been worked as an arranger and copyist. Over the years, I have had the honor and pleasure to work with Adam Tully, Ramiro Gallo, Andrew Joslyn, Paintings for Animals, Justin Froese, Adra Boo, Beth Fleenor, Evan Flory-Barnes, Heather Bentley, Dawn Clement, the Seattle Rock Orchestra, Chicharra Tango, Ben Thomas, Matt Weiner , Dana Wen, Amy Denio, Okanamode SoulChilde, Brad Hawkins, Ahamefule J. Oluo, Wayne Horvitz, Jakob Pek, Ammon Swinbank, and many others.
My relationship with music began early on, singing in a choir and later playing in a youth orchestra. With the help of my grandfather I began playing guitar at age 11, and quickly adopted this as my main instrument. Throughout high school, I played in the school jazz band on both bass and electric guitar. Towards the end of this time, I began playing with honey.moon.tree, as well as Paintings for Animals, deepening my roots into rock music and expanding it into more experimental territories. Shortly thereafter, I began to develop his work with the classical guitar and moved to South America to pursue a study of music, specializing in folkloric and indigenous music. After a year of study, I returned to the United States and continued on to form a series of bands and ensembles in the roles of composer, songwriter, guitarist, and vocalist- the later of which I am, after a multi-year hiatus, happy to be returning to.
In my schooling, I studied at the Cornish College of the Arts with Emily Doolittle, Jim Knapp in composition, classical guitar with Michael Nicolella, and voice with Natalie Lerch. My studies beyond Cornish include time at The Evergreen State College, where my studies with Terry Setter, Ben Kamen, Arun Chandra, and Sean Williams included an emphasis in Consciousness Studies and Music.
Patrons have, throughout all times, been a key element in the sustainability of a career as an artist. Your support enables me to continue to develop my work, and provides me with the support which may not seem like a lot but indeed does go a long way. I am thrilled to have you here, and I'd love your support along the way. Stay tuned, there's some really fun stuff in the works!
A little bit still goes a long way! If maybe you don't have a whole lot but this want to give a little, this is a totally great way to help!

$200 a month means 1-2 less gigs I need to take, which means an additional 6-10 hours in my month that I can spend working on the creative projects cooking in my cabe$a!


Emotions Matters encourages those impacted by borderline personality disorder (BPD) who seek support to get connected as part of recovery.
Living with BPD can be isolating, if you think "you are the only one" struggling to manage BPD. Many report that a support network helped them cope with their disorder and function at work, in school, in relationships, and in the community.
Emotions Matter offers a closed secret Facebook group for individuals with BPD. This group is for those who are in treatment, have an understanding of BPD, accept their diagnosis and seek peer support. It is also for individuals who accept our Facebook social media posts guidelines. To join this group, click here and fill out the group membership form. For questions, contact Peer Administrators, Teresa Burgado and Chelsea Spearman at info@emotionsmatterbpd.org.
