Electric Messiah

Had the chance to take part in Kyle Brenders Soundstream production of the Electric Messiah. Played Messiah on the electric guitar backing four excellent singers, with an improvising choir, eletroacoustic orchestra and a dj filling out the evening. Really lovely show.

Peggy Baker’s Nuit Blanche project involved an app by Jacob Niedzwiecki to play instructions for movement on participants phones on headphones in sync with music playing through a sound system.
