The recording of last year’s performance of “A Crimson Grail” at the Lincoln Center will be released September 14, and is available now for pre-order. I played in this ensemble of 2oo guitarists and 16 bass players, and it was amazing.
Here are my previous posts about the concert:

This is awesome. Now I only need to find a recording of Nick Cave/Warren Ellis’ score for Woyzeck for a Reykjavik circus trope at BAM circa 2008. Anyone know Icelandic?
I just picked this up today and am listening as I write this. I can’t be 100% sure, but I think that’s you on page 12 in the CD booklet (it looks like you to my eyes).
I wish this piece could someday be played in Chicago. I’m sure they could put 200 guitarists into Grant Park!!
