From Berlin To Brooklyn: Nils Frahm & Greg Haines in NY

Last Sunday marked the last day in the US tour for Berlin Pianist & composer Nils Frahm. Dumbo, Brooklyn was his last stop where he played a set of his solo piano works accompanied by Greg Haines, the English composer, in Galapagos art space.

This was the first US tour for the two composers after appearing in numerous performances across  Europe. Frahm’s music is minimalist, emotional and evocative while Haines’ is a blend of modern classical and ambient.

The evening started with New York based composer Kyle Bobby Dunn playing a set of his solo guitar ambient work accompanied by visual artworks.

The following pictures were taken during Dunn’s performance:

And the last two pieces he played may be watched on YouTube:

Red Hook, Brooklyn

This was another Brooklyn expedition with NYC Photo Outings group last Saturday. We started at Smith and 9 street Subway Station(F & G) and roamed the streets of Red Hook. I managed to capture some video after the outing where the cloud formations were dramatic and quite fascinating.

 

From Brooklyn, with Love!

It was sunny, somewhat cold last Saturday when we ascended back to the surface of Atlantic Ave. Regardless, I decided to take a walk around the Ave, Furman Street where some abandoned warehouses are located and then hit The Heights and crossed the bridge to Manhattan. All of the places seen on this walk are featured in a couple of video clips and you can also see some of the still photos taken.

 

 

Beneath The Surface: The Story Of Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue Tunnel

This was an outing with NYC Brainiacs to checkout the myths & rumors surrounding the forgotten tunnel on Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn, NY.

The series of 9 videos starts on the Southwestern corner of Atlantic Ave and Court Street where we lined up to get into the tunnel through a manhole. Then, Bob Diamond, the gentleman who rediscovered the tunnel in 1981 told us about the stories that took place back in mid 1840s when the tunnel was first planned and commissioned till the present day.
