This recording was made as part of the Sunday COMA Music Series
(Citizens Ontological Music Agenda) at the ABC No Rio, New York, NY in September, 2013 - curated by Blaise Siwula (many thanks, Blaise)
A great venue for experimental music, Blaise's COMA Series is very creative "bring your own set-up" place to play and always has a great listening audience. This is a very relaxed, with humor, high energy set.
