Music Research Strategies at the 2025 New Media Art and Sound Summit

I will be performing this evening with the Music Research Strategies collective at NMASS.  From the NMASS website:

Music Research Strategies ILW: Ruthless Compassion workshop presentation and discussion.

Marshall Trammell is an experimental archivist, percussionist, conductor, and composer based in Oakland and Albuquerque, United States. His aesthetics and activism are centred in social change interventions to generate new local and global ecologies that embrace improvisation as a collective, movement-building tool in the creation of post-capitalist imaginaries. Trammell’s ongoing project Music Research Strategies uses aesthetic theory, data creation, mapping, and collective music- and art-making to step out of the domain of traditional cultural institutions, relocating the act of co-production back in the community.

This project is commissioned by COTFG: New Media Art & Sound Summit 2025

Participants include J. Brent Crosson, J.C. King, Aaron Bielish, Nathan Green, Lichen Bouboushian, Keegan Streicher, Sarah Ruth Alexander

7pm to 10pm on Friday – September 26, 2025

Installation – “Radical Friendships” (ILW:RC:ATX:RF)
Performance – “Resolution” (ILW:RC:ATX:Resolution)
Discussion and Feedback with the workshop participants and audience

Reggae Jam-Down Nights at Kenny Dorham's Backyard!

Wagwan!  Reggae Jam-Down night is back at the one and only Kenny Dorham's Backyard, a legendary outdoor venue in the heart of central East Austin. 

Reggae Jam-Down Nights will take place every month on the second Thursday of the month starting on August 14th and continuing through April 2026 with a hiatus over the winter months.
We will have a house band set up for a full band. We will also have an open mic format where in addition to a variety of reggae classics and a few originals played by the house band other members of the community are welcome to take the stage for a song or short set performing either covers or originals as long as they fit the reggae genre. Songs outside of the genre are acceptable as long as they are "reggaefied."
This event is partially funded by the City of Austin and the Nexus Grant. While the event is free to attend we do encourage donations that will go directly towards the musicians and event staff. So please come join us for these magical nights of music in the city of Austin. One love.
