Some new decoration for my studio. This is, as near as I can reconstruct from old day planners and journals, every place I have ever performed. Mostly with the Kissers, but also Smile Brigade, the Foghorns, Mercy Terrace, and solo shows as a pianist.

@NeilNevins @soonrightaway @indianloonie That movie was actually filmed in my hometown of Merrill Wisconsin. A few years ago the fake giant spider went up for sale on eBay, but it apparently was pretty dilapidated.

@lowtheband I was a DJ at the University of Santa Clara radio station for almost a decade, and I delighted in eclectic playlists. I’d play Ray Charles, Mitski, and Arvo Pärt all in the same hour.

One week to New Ballet's annual Fast Forward showcase.
This year I collaborated with my dear friend Mariana Sobral to create music for her piece Solace.
Next Saturday, Feb. 2 at the Hammer Theater in San Jose.

Now up on Spotify and all streaming platforms. This piece was several years in the writing/recording/mixing. Very proud of it. Hugh Thompson, Jr. was a hero.

Check out this week’s episode of our Artist of the Week #podcast! @ColclasurePeter‘s My Lai, a new work for piano and string quartet based on the My Lai Massacre, was produced through the Jack Straw Artist Support Program, and performed by Peter and Skyros Quartet.

[Peter Colclasure @ColclasurePeter]

A few years ago I wrote a three-movement piece for piano and string quartet based on the My Lai massacre. This is the second movement of the work, inspired by his heroism.
