Doctor Body

Doctor Body is a place for musical experimentation, boundary exploration, and live performance expression.

It’s an ongoing musical collaboration between myself and Alison Wilder. Key to the process is this: everything we produce is handled/managed by each of us multiple times.

The result is always something neither one of us would (or could) create. Eventually we find our way to an agreeable place and allow each other space to contribute what we wish. And the more we do it, the more comfortable we become in what is often an uncertain journey.

… or said in a very different way …

“Doctor Body will not help you to relive the warm glow of youthful love, or to remember how you danced on your wedding night, or be the soundtrack to your breakup.”

Music in the Constellation at National Sawdust

An Evening of Immersive Audio…

Composer Greg Wilder curates an evening of contemporary music from 1 to the 102 speakers that make up the Meyer Sound Constellation at National Sawdust. Featuring seminal works by Frank Zappa and Karlheinz Stockhausen in their original format, the evening explores immersive audio and the creative opportunities it affords in a way that can only experienced first hand in the space itself.

In the past music was created to fit the instruments and spaces at hand. Intimate rooms with low ceilings could be filled with the sound of a single bard celebrating the achievements of warriors while large chapels required groups of voices to slow down and draw out pious praises, holding on to open vowel sounds so the long reverberation times could transform simple melodies into sacred harmonies. Today we can shape our own acoustic spaces and create our own instruments – virtually.

Join us in Brooklyn on June 11th for an experience like no other. Contact National Sawdust for tickets.

Food & Shelter

Food & Shelter is a new play by Sean Hurley and it is one of the most inspiring projects I’ve ever been a part of.

From the press release:

“I feel as if Arthur Miller came over to my house and asked me if I’d want to direct the world premiere of Death of a Salesman,” says Food & Shelter director, David Stern. “This is perhaps the most exciting creative opportunity I have had in the theater since I began working 35 years ago. Sean’s play is hauntingly beautiful, full of pathos and pain. It both affirms our beautiful, brief existence and grapples with the challenges that we face in trying to connect with each other.”

Food & Shelter begins with two strangers, who happen to be newlyweds, Bronwyn and Estevez, moving into a cabin in the snowy woods. Empty at first, the cabin actually contains everything they need – if only they can find it. But there’s a price for the life-saving provisions: someone, or something, is determined to never let them leave. As the cabin reveals its secrets, Bronwyn and Estevez begin to confess their own. And though Estevez may be falling in love with Bronwyn, love is the last thing on her mind.
