New Reconnaissance Fly videos now posted

I had a great time performing live with Reconnaissance Fly in the KFJC Pit on August 24th.  Here are our four favorite videos from that set:



This is a brand new instrumental tune by Tim Walters.



You might remember this one from Not Made of Stone by Polly Moller & Company, but it's different now!



This is a brand new piece by Amanda Chaudhary.



And here is An Empty Rectangle, a tune from our album Flower Futures.

Polly and Amanda in NYC, November 24th, 2014


Attention New York friends & colleagues: I will be playing a show at Spectrum on November 24th. I will be duoing (not dueling) with my Reconnaissance Fly bandmate Amanda Chaudhary. Fans of analog modular synths, flutes, and Harry Harrison's Stainless Steel Rat novels are encouraged to attend.  We call our set "Steengo Takes Manhattan!"
