Fast forward to a couple of years ago when they decided to collaborate.

The New York City Electronic Music Festival is a remarkable annual showcase of innovative music ranging from those with digital elements to those that are exclusively digital, as in this case. This wide-ranging concert also includes music by Maurice Wright, Hubert Howe, Andrew May, Akira Taoka, Benjamin Broening and more! For more about the program visit NYCEMF.
