Hi folks,

I'll be doing video improvisations Friday night at 119 Gallery in 
Lowell (my favorite performance space) as part of the 2012 edition of 
XFest. I'm on for the first five sets Friday evening  --The format of 
the festival is simple and challenging: 20 visiting artists and 40 
local artists perform. On Fri and Sat evenings there are 10 half-hour 
sets with 2 visiting artists and 2 local artists -- I've pasted the 
full schedule below.

Not much can be more special than XFest, but a visual music live 
performance with four of my favorite amazing wind players sure comes 
close-:)

March 10 at Outpost 186 in Cambridge.
