CONCERT AND MEDIA

WHISPERS FROM THE UNDERWORLD

A wonderful report from my concert Whispers From the Underworld at The Nimoy, presented by CAP UCLA and co-sponsored by the remarkable Farhang Foundation. It was another extraordinary evening, surrounded by friends and fans, as we honored the memory of my dear partner, Richard Horowitz.

Whispers From the Underworld features my scores for film, visual arts and media stage production. The concert was brought to life with incredible guest artists in both New York and Los Angeles. In LA, I was joined by the brilliant scientist, composer and dear friend Jaron Lanier, as well as the phenomenal double violist, Gingger Shankar, special Hagai Iz on Flumpet and composer, multi instrumentalists and 4 times Emmy winning composer Vivek Maddala on keys and percussion. The scores included my most recent collaboration with the visionary director Godfrey Reggio, in collaboration with Philip Glass, works with Shirin Neshat and my media stage production The House is Black Media Production in collaboration with Richard Horowitz.
It was truly a blessing to share the stage with such immense talents.

Thank you Arash Rad for this report shot and producing it!
