01-30-2025—VOIDWAVE feature on Dublab. “This show includes a conversation between Saun and Kim Zumpfe walking in the mountains above Altadena, recording ourselves treading through the brush and pine needles of the Angeles National Forest a couple weeks before the devastating fires. […] While the conversation touches upon forms and processes of sound’s relationship to image, body, language, landscape, and architecture, it also transcends into more intangible aspects of sound, including its amorphous relationship to embodiment, politics, and the realities and vacancies in perceptions of our own histories that live in the spheres of the sonic.”

Dublab, Thursday Jan. 30, 10am PT - 12pm CT - 1pm ET two-hour episode with conversation, scores, & “living” compositions. [Artwork by Melissa Vogley Woods]

11-12-2024—Keeping Beckett Live: Waiting for Godot at the Geffen Playhouse. I am deeply honored and thrilled to have been invited to speak on this panel for the Geffen Playhouse’s Donor Benefit Event alongside Judy Hegarty Lovett, co-founder of Gare St. Lazare Ireland and director of ‘Godot’ at the Geffen (one of the world’s pre-eminent directors of Beckett), Conor Lovett, ‘Godot’ cast member and Gare St. Lazare Ireland associate director, Monica Horan Rosenthal, known for her performance as Winnie in Beckett’s ‘Happy Days’ produced by the Independent Shakespeare Company among much more, and hosted by Tarell Alvin Mccraney, artistic director of the Geffen, playwright, and Oscar-winning co-writer of ‘Moonlight’.

It was such a pleasure to chat about, amongst other things, the pivotal role of Beckett’s works within my own practice, relational modularity as resistance, atonality, and the composition process of my performance piece Mother […] Mother working with and through Beckett’s Footfalls and performed at Reisig and Taylor Contemporary on June 22, 2024. Thank you so much to Patrick Bixby, president of the Samuel Beckett Society for recommending me.
