thinking back on the insane year I’ve had and feeling endlessly grateful (!!) for the embarrassment of riches I received. riches in the form of friends, collaborators, family, cities, new and old music, lengthy dinners, glasses of (natural) wine, very old buildings (churches, bridges, temples), language barriers, grueling tech days, walks up mountains, runs along canals, thorny music and difficult rehearsals, thrilling and/or terrifying performances, wayward improvisations, perfectly tuned chords, accordion singalongs, train rides, boat rides, car rides, all 27 weeks I spent “on the road,” three separate trips to Amsterdam, onigiri, schnitzel, aquavit, niçoise, lamb shank, green chartreuse, izakaya, prost, santé, kanpai, l’chaim, skál and so much more. thank you to everyone I played with, made with, and yapped to this past year. it was great.

7 EARLY SONGS at NOW Festival @calartsredcat photos round 2 @george.r.miller @bakudiiiiiiiiiii @kat.trim @johnpetehardy @tiilderz really proud of this collaboration and production. grateful for the opportunity to experiment with artist friends I admire and love. inspired by our attempt to make something about our existence on this planet and in this society. happy to be part of a community that supports us. excited to be in Los Angeles, where so many friends and community are making art, grappling with the world, working together to think together and create together. 💜🌏

7 Early Songs at REDCAT New Original Works Festival November 7-9 2024 co-composer and performer @lisel.jpeg co-composer and music production @bakudiiiiiiiiiii director @george.r.miller adapted from Alban Berg’s “Sieben Frühe Lieder” lighting design @kat.trim set and costume design @johnpetehardy assistant director @tiilderz 7 Early Songs is a reimagining and recomposed version of Alban Berg’s song cycle by the same name, Sieben Frühe Lieder. Director George R. Miller places the work in a highly stylized early-2000s Palm Springs motel, a setting that underscores themes of complacency and privilege in the face of developing climate crisis. Composers Rohan Chander and Eliza Bagg have created an electronic score that interweaves Berg’s melodic material with new arrangements for electronics, synthesizers, and samples that draw upon a wide set of musical and historical references. all photos by @angeloriggi @calartsredcat #nowfestival2024

Meet the artists in this year’s New Original Works (NOW) Festival, a three-week celebration of innovative works from Los Angeles. The first week of the Festival, November 7–9, features Eliza Bagg, Rohan Chander, and George R. Miller collaborating on an opera song cycle. Eliza Bagg, dubbed an “electro-pop alien” by NPR, is known for her work in experimental music as both a vocalist and composer, performing globally from soloing with the Los Angeles Philharmonic and the Komische Oper Berlin to singing with Roomful of Teeth. Rohan Chander (a.k.a BAKUDI SCREAM) is an electronic musician and artist who explores gothic, science-fiction storytelling as rewriting of personal and shared histories with work described as “remarkably alive,” by The Wire. George R. Miller is a director and producer of operatic performance, dedicated to celebrating and reimagining classical repertoire, as well as developing and championing new works, and whose directorial work has been presented by Opera Philadelphia, Long Beach Opera, LA Chamber Orchestra, Pioneer Works, and Wild Up, among others. “7 Early Songs” takes Alban Berg’s song cycle as a starting point to interweave new arrangements of the existing material for voice, electronics, and synthesizers, along with entirely new compositions by Bagg and Chander. Miller stages the work as a series of poetic tableaux, tracing the lonely narrator’s shadowy visions as they process the banality of daily life and the urgency of the threats around them.

RINGS - 3rd single from THE VANISHING POINT •• out today •• RINGS continues the dystopian folklore of the album, looking to create a mythology to understand the deteriorating future — in RINGS we grow tired of trying to comprehend and look instead for meaning in starlight, spirit animals, tarot cards, the moon, tea leaves, promised tunes 🔮🪞🪄🗝️🫖 🕯️ lost in the cards or in the leaves \\ to see what we can believe song made with and mixed by @hotel.earth mastered by @heba_kadry photo by Carla Rossi @carlarossi__ HMU By @catalinasartor_ @badabingrecords
