Here is a fine article regarding the films of Jaap Pieters and our performance accompanying them, in Boston, at the venue Spectacle.

In addition to this, see some photographs of the venue, area surrounding, and the Boston trip in general, as well as a family portrait featuring Jaap Pieters, Travis Bird, Evan Lindorff-Ellery, and John Twells of Type Records.
Some photographs from the tour thus far. A few shots en route to NYC, then a stop in the city and then a stop in Middletown Springs, Vermont. Not many pictures of the performances; many of compositionally intriguing scenes, night wanderings in NYC and a few inevitable tourist-shots.
