Folks this is a gig here in NY that sounds pretty cool. It's a show my violin teacher is doing with a prepared keyboard artist and snails, thought it was worth sharing to this community...

tswaf@hotmail.comHello Everyone
I'm playing with an interesting composer/musician from the Bay Area this Saturday in Brooklyn. Eric is also performing a solo set on Sunday.
Announcing two concerts this weekend in Brooklyn:
Saturday, July 12, 2008, 8pm:
Eric Glick Rieman (Berkeley, CA) in a rare East Coast performance on his modified and prepared Rhodes electric piano. The performance includes a trio premiere of "Snail Road House" a score created in collaboration with snails. [ This is for real. One of my snails is very interested in the project! ed.]
Glick Rieman is joined by Shayna Dulberger (acoustic bass, of Stars like Fleas, The Young Equestrians, and many other groups) and Tom Swafford (violin, of the Emergency String Quartet.)
Listen/Space

Eric Glick Rieman performs solo on prepared and modified Rhodes electric piano.
"Rieman's instrument looks like a post-apocalyptic Rhodes piano; some of its insides are removed and sitting next to it, and it has all sorts of foreign objects crammed into it like shrapnel — with strategically placed microphones to capture the various sounds of it all. … The range of colors that
he got out of this instrument was astonishing…"
