At the MFA in Sonic Practice we are…

Making it work in small town New Hampshire.

Sharing studio spaces, collaborating, and reaching out for technical help.

Trying to balance rigor with warmth.

Designing hare-brained schemes and experimenting with our practices.

Dreaming past the edges of our current skills. 

Working to take apart the orthodoxies we've inherited from our various musical and academic backgrounds and create/generate/imagine new worlds. 

Building instruments, making installations, looking for adapters, trying to get the Max patch to work, writing songs, reinstalling ableton, applying to every grant, fixing the lighting, making a flier, improvising, doing the reading, meeting the guest artist, trying not to panic, and eating lunch together most Thursdays.
