What do you call humans being kidnapped and sent to another country to be imprisoned in shackles and forced to perform intense physical labor while living in horrid conditions under the threat of daily physical violence and rape?

Open a history book. You can do it. I believe in you.

It often takes a few years for a new concert work to gain traction, and when it finally does, its composer is very happy! I’m delighted that one of my favorite recent pieces, my second symphony SUSPENDED, is making the rounds. I’ll get to hear its first, intense β€œconcert-opener" movement, AIRBORNE, at Carnegie Hall this Tuesday the 11th!

Town Hall Participation Form If you are a constituent of a lawmaker of an upcoming People's Town Hall, submit your information here! If you have questions or difficulties with the form, email info@peoplestownhall.org

For folks asking if I'm going to attend Trump's joint address to Congress next week: no. Instead, I'm choosing to hear directly from Oregonians and will be hosting an open-to-all town hall on Facebook live. Oregonians can submit questions in advance here:

Hey NYTimes β€” *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of β€œSauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

No one is coming to save us but ourselves. There is no super hero. There will be no miracle. It's not a bad dream that we will just wake up from in the morning.
The only way this ends is if we kill the fantasy, roll up our sleeves, and take to the streets.
The only thing that is haunted is us.

Hundreds of blue and tan turkey tail mushrooms grow along the top of a moss speckled log. The forest floor beneath is divided between snow and bare ground with the decorated log bisecting it

There’s been a kind of…fashion of late to view anti-Trump libs as lame and cringe and just annoying, aesthetically. I remember this exact same aesthetic judgment in the run-up to the Iraq war. The earnest libs were right then and they’re right now.

I had the sweetest dream last night. I was driving on the LIE and there was Donald Trump in a red jumpsuit, picking up trash beside the highway.

Though the Justice Dept has deleted information about its Jan 6 prosecutions from its website, a federal judge has issued an order listing and chronicling all of the cases and prison terms

YouTube video by Alex Shapiro DEEP, by Alex Shapiro; Braydon Ross, French horn

One musician.
One French horn.
One very cinematic audio track.
A collective need to exhale and release our anxieties for just a few minutes.
Please enjoy Braydon Ross’s recent, beautiful performance of my piece, DEEP.
