about

My partner ACVilla and I have been spending more and more time in Northern New Mexico with her mom Clare. New Mexico has become our main home base, and official address. This was the first show of the 2019 tour, heading west from there, then north, then east east east throughout the next 6 months. Over the years I’ve had the privilege to participate in the musical community here in a wide variety of ways. There are many great musicians and improvisers in this region. Fortunately there seems to be increased interest in activities here from the musical community at large. This show included both a real-time collaborative creation with these wonderful musicians as well as the first screening of what has become a 2-year project, in process, documenting murals around the country. The majority of sales from this release will go to support the important work Littleglobe does in the Santa Fe community.

Littleglobe is a New Mexico-based non-profit consisting of artists, facilitators, activists, and cultural workers. We are committed to a practice of socially-engaged, participatory art which galvanizes individual and collective voices, activates empathy, and leads to greater personal and community agency. For the past 16 years, Littleglobe's multi-generational and multi-arts teams have cultivated deep relationships across a wide range of communities within New Mexico. Our co-creative processes have been vehicles for important conversations, interactions and story-sharing. Such work has consistently played a role in supporting communities to build a sense of shared identity, belonging and interdependence. www.littleglobe.org

Tiffany DeFoe based in Baltimore and Albuquerque. She draws from and participates in a wide variety of musical traditions, bringing her improvisational approach to the fore in pop, rock and theatrical projects as well as progressive funk, jazz and experimental settings.

Rosie Hutchinson performs as Hosie. Her work stretches folk music through percussive lyrics, dissonance, psychedelic harmonies, and multiple languages. Songs weave together classical violin, guitar, and raw percussion with extended vocal technique and synthetic sounds.

Since 2001 Carlos Santistevan has helped establish an oasis of creative music in the high desert southwest as the director of the High Mayhem Emerging Arts collective. Using an upright bass and electronics he creates soundscapes and spontaneous compositions spanning the continuum between acoustic and electric music. Early influences of punk rock and free jazz have led him to develop a unique approach to music and improvisation.

Instrumentalist and composer/conductor Chris Jonas has performed, recorded and toured internationally with many of today's most adventurous artists, working extensively with Anthony Braxton, Cecil Taylor, William Parker, Del Sol String Quartet, TILT Brass, the Crossing Choir and others. He is Executive Director of the arts and social justice non-profit, Littleglobe and is Vice President of Anthony Braxton's NYC Tri-Centric Foundation.
