I am the vessel through which the creative entity that refers to itself as “Duane Wilson” is channeled. Duane is a devout progressive hedonist who thoroughly enjoys monitoring the culture of this planet via YouTube. I provide constructive criticism and emotional support for Duane, who receives this information as a projection in an interpersonal conference that can only occur during REM sleep.

Binary Canary
Ted Moore, electronics; Kyle Hutchins, saxophone
Binary Canary is a collaborative improvisation ensemble featuring laptopist Ted Moore and saxophonist Kyle Hutchins. Described as “skilled improvisers, no doubt about it” (I Care If You Listen), their work together since 2013 has included solo and chamber music, free and structured improvisations, and interactive multimedia. Their 2015 album ‘click/blow’ was reviewed as “a full on noise-jazz symphony” (Raised by Gypsies) and a “display [of] individual virtuosity and group musicianship… well worth the listen” (Signals for Images). In 2017, Binary Canary released their second album ‘BC+1’ to critical acclaim. Their third album ‘iterative systems’ will be released Fall 2018. They have been featured at conferences, festivals, and on series such as the Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt (IMD), SEAMUS, New York City Electronic Music Festival (NYCEMF), World Saxophone Congress, NUNC!, CubeFest, and as guest artists at universities across the country.
