John Somers and I will be performing at the 2012 Artscape “Worlds In Collusion” Music Series. We performed together for this series, a few years ago during the 2009 Artscape Festival. This was at the very beginning stages of our collaborative project. Fast forward, 3 years… This summer, we added the finishing touches to our 5 LP set of ambient compositions “The Disposition of Vibrant Forms” Part 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5. So, things are pretty much complete! Our album will be available at this year’s Artscape Festival in digital format (on flash drive), with all sorts of goodies. & It will be officially released later this Fall, as a 5 LP set.  It’s a very exciting time…  I’m so happy!

Here are the event details:

John Somers & Liz Meredith perform together for the Artscape “Worlds in Collusion” Music Series on Friday, July 20th at 3 PM. The entire schedule can be viewed → HERE
