New Release with Video:
Sound x Light x Movement
Somerville, MA, USA
March 15, 2025
On March 15, 2025, I had the good fortune to play the Sound X Light X Movement 006 event at SomArt at the Hive, in Somerville, MA. This is a recording from that performance. Sharing the bill with ambient artists Motherboard and Hissquiet, the night was one of great soundscapes and some incredible visuals, as well as a dancer that was also integrated into the visuals. Album now available below on Bandcamp, and a video of the entire performance is below, too.

My Sound in Air performance in Cambridge, MA a few weeks ago went great! There were some amazing acts and visuals, and I made some great connections. There will be more Thorny appearances around New England in the coming months, so keep an eye out!
