    2022

    Das Audit (Eve Essex, Dan Fox, Craig Kalpakjian) took over KAJE’s Gowanus gallery space for six weeks February and March 2022 to mount a series of performances. Das Audit’s lineup expanded with each event, performing as a trio on February 27th; as a quartet with Kevin Kenkel on drums, March 13th; and Thursday, March 31st, as a quintet with Max Gordon on keyboards.

    Each evening featured a reading (authors Emanuel Olunkwa, Arden Wohl, and Early Shinada), and guest musical sets by Kevin Kenkel, Gavilán Rayna Russom, and Peter Zummo’s Environmental Combo (with Mustafa Ahmed, Ernie Brooks, and Bill Ruyle).

    Performances were live-streamed featuring live video effects crafted by multimedia artist Kit Fitzgerald.
