I will be presenting the latest version of my concert/talk on music attributed to fairies, aliens, and other shadowy entities, “Music from Elsewhere,” on November 15 at 7 pm. It’s part of the series Utopia/ Dystopia, curated by Morbid Anatomy and Hauser & Wirth. It’s at Hauser & Wirth, 548 W. 22nd St., NYC, and admission is free. You can find more info here.

I will be returning to NYC as part of “The Jim Turner Smorgasbord of Koo Koo,” a variety show hosted by the exemplary Jim Turner as a benefit for Dixon Place. I’ll play some of my songs, and perhaps read a snippet from one of my books. Also on the bill: David Felton, Mark Fite, Dale Goodson, Toby Huss, and Two-Headed Dog. It will unfurl on Saturday, December 1, at 7:30, at Dixon Place, 161-A Chrystie Street, NYC. Tickets are $25.

Upcoming from Black Scat Books is The Alphonse Allais Reader, a collection culled from the eight books of Allais that I’ve translated. We hope to get it out later this month.
