Imperchorstra

Musicians Conner Finn, Daniel Finn, and I are about to head out in May 2010  from our home in Austin, TX to film a documentary about American music.  Entitled Imperchorstra, for Improvisational Percussion Orchestra, we'll be studying the structure and cultural history of six types of  music in the most quintessentially American way—a road trip in a 1954 Chevrolet.  For one year we will make our homes in towns with distinct musical flavors such as industrial Detroit, MI, rural Whitesburg, KY, and southern Slidell, LA.

You can keep track of our vehicular breakdowns, roadside America discoveries, and research through the Imperchorstra website.  Our blog can found here.
