Dear fellow bikepackers!
I've been working on a large-scale project for almost two years called the Sonic Divide, which is a performance art piece that involves creative music, ultra-distance mountain biking, and film. I rode the entire Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (2,500 miles) and while I was out there I performed music in the wilderness and filmed it all and turned it into a documentary film. It's a cool film if you're interested in mountain biking, nature, creative music, and adventure. Here is the trailer:

There will be several screenings of the film in the coming months, including:
1.) Cycle Craft bike shop, Parsippany, New Jersey, Saturday, February 25, 4:00 p.m.
2.) Goddard Center, 647 Columbus (91st and Columbus) New York City, Sunday, March 5, 7:30 p.m.,
3.) William Paterson University, Wayne, New Jersey, Monday, April 3, at 7:00 p.m. in Shea Center for the Arts, Recital Hall (room 101).
4.) Montana State University, Bozeman, MT, Monday, April 10, (location TBA)
5.) Dairy Center, Boulder, Colorado, Tuesday, May 2, 7:00 p.m.
At some of these screenings I will also be performing some of the pieces I played out there. I would be honored to have you there if you're available. This is a family-friendly film and you are most welcome to bring friends and family.
For specifics for each event please see my website:
