Upcoming concerts.

The NYC installation of the Absolut Quartet, a multi-instrumental robotic machine, is coming to an end. At the closing party, it will play new pieces by several local composers, including my new piece Collector's Item.

If you want to come, send an email to RSVP [at] mackin [dot] tv. The event is at 186 Orchard St. between Stanton and Houston, from 8 to midnight, although the composed pieces probably won't start until 9:30.

UPDATE: I've withdrawn my piece. But check out the machines anyway!
