Flutronix Flutronix’s last EPK (electronic press kit) video was made possible by our dear friend Jun Oshima, a film director and professor at The New School. He invited us to his class and assigned students to interview us and create a EPK video. It was wonderful to not only work with his students, but to also have several great videos to choose from!

Recently, Jun invited us back to his class to do a new EPK video. We had the opportunity to share our history, our new work-in-progress Black Being, and explore topics outside of music-making including the American political climate, social justice and the arts at large. We’re excited to see what the students come up with – make sure you check back to see the final video when it’s done!

FlutronixInauguration Day was a day we were both dreading. Feeling utterly concerned and uncertain, we were less than enthused about the swearing in of our 45th President. Fortunately, we were invited to perform at The Anti-Inaugural Ball at The DiMenna Center in New York City, giving us the opportunity to express ourselves through music with a community of like-minded musicians. There was truly no better way to spend the night.

The Anti-Inaugural Ball featured riveting performances by several new music ensembles including the International Contemporary Ensemble, JACK Quartet, So Percussion and more. In addition to hearing live music, audience members had the opportunity to donate to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Lambda, with representatives from each organization speaking throughout the evening.

While everyone’s frustration with the election results was palpable, the room was full of positive energy and a great sense of community. The Anti-Inaugural Ball affirmed that the arts bring people together, are vital to political and social commentary, and are an integral component of humanity. We are personally more committed than ever to pursue our craft in a way that is reflective of the times and responsive to injustice and The Anti-Inaugural Ball served as the perfect catalyst to embark on this new journey.

allison loggins hull montclair state fluteThis past week, I had the pleasure of coaching the flute ensemble at Montclair State University on my piece “Stacked” for 6 flutes. They’ve performed it multiple times and brought a great sense of joy and excitement to our coaching session. We also had a blast reading through Flutronix’s piece “Flock” for 4 flutes and alto flute. All-in-all, it was fun afternoon with lots of fluting and laughs. Thanks to Dr. Silverman for having me and the students for their hard work!

Presented in association with the eighth blackbird residency, Flutronix performed music from their latest EP City of Breath, along with selections from previous releases. Held in the MCA’s third floor galleries and with a packed crowd, the duo’s program paid homage to their classical upbringing, featuring more “acoustic” works. Watch a fan video from this performance.
