about
"Concepción Picciotto" was a homeless peace activist who lived on the street in front of the White House from 1981-2016. She tirelessly held what is believed to be the longest continuous protest in world history, working to raise awareness of endless US-driven wars, with a particular focus on nuclear disarmament.
"Concepción Picciotto" is a 25 minute long piece scored for saxophone section, string quartet, rhythm section and mezzo soprano vocalist. It is a work exploring myriad territory, from ethereal soundscapes and percussive undulations, to driving jazz rhythms, quarter step melodies and complex harmonic intersections. "Concepción Picciotto" was inspired by her life and written in her memory.

Koi: Performing the music of Tim Berne
by Gregg Belisle-Chisupported by 5 fans who also own “Concepción Picciotto”
An album of tunes by Tim Berne played on acoustic guitar is not a thing that I realized I needed. Gregg Belisle-Chi (produced by Berne and David Torn) does something remarkable and organic on Koi, simultaneously distilling Berne’s compositions to their essential elements and imbuing them with a new kind of life.
