My friend and collaborator Joy Yang and I will be presenting an original piece called "To See Clearly," which combines spoken-and-sung excerpts from my essay of the same name with Joy's lovely and haunting piano and theremin accompaniment--improvised music growing out of the essay and the theme of Johnny Nash's famous song "I Can See Clearly Now." Please join us!

You can find our event (Friday, April 23, 6 p.m.) under the Cosmic Flights theme, but I highly encourage you to check out all the other amazing contributions over the course of the weekend, including a presentation by physicist and jazz saxophonist Stephon Alexander, author of The Jazz of Physics, music by the Jupiter String Quartet, and the premiere of "Solaria: A science-based fantasy on the spirit of the solar system," by Smitha Vishveshwara, Stephen A. Taylor, Rebecca Witfong, and Nic Morse.
