Patrick Breiner at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
In addition to today’s featured video by Patrick Breiner, we also have a new Bird is the Worm Tumblr entry from Breiner. You can see his work space by following this LINK.
Today’s video is Patrick Breiner (using his alias Vartan Mamigonian) performing a bit of improv atop the rooftop structures of the Brooklyn Navy Yard. As many of you know, I’m a sucker for the rooftop photos and videos, so I feature one whenever I can. It would’ve been nice had there been a quick pan across the landscape, just to get a sense of the horizon line. Of course, both musician and cameraman may have been more concerned with not falling than they were about my aesthetic preferences, so we’ll give them a pass on that little personal cinematography faux-pas.
Here’s that video:
I was hoping, actually to feature a different video of Breiner’s, but there doesn’t appear to be any actual footage of his performance at Home Audio. I only know about it myself because of this nifty photo:
And just as I have a thing for rooftop shots, I also have a thing for installations that incorporate lots of pretty lights. So there you have it.
If you want to explore Breiner’s music, head on over to his Bandcamp page.
Have a great Sunday!
Cheers.

John Crowley Work Space
There’s a new Work Space photo posted on the Bird is the Worm Tumblr site, featuring the creative space (and audio) of trumpeter Jon Crowley.
You can check those photos out by following this LINK.
I reviewed his 2011 release At the Edge, which you can read HERE.
His music hits the border between modern jazz and indie-rock, which sets up some nice elements in terms of solid melodies allowed to roam free and wide.
There isn’t a decent video I can post of Crowley performing live, but he does upload a lot of live material to both his Soundcloud and Bandcamp pages. Here’s a track currently on his Soundcloud page, from a December 2013 live performance at the Rockwood Music Hall…
And there’s also his Bandcamp page, where you can listen to some of his live performances (plus, he offers some free downloads from those performances), but his studio recording At the Edge is there, too.
Here’s a photo from his blog from a live show. Would’ve loved to have a video to post from this show…
That’s a great stage set-up. I believe it’s from World Cafe Live in Philly.
Have a great Sunday!
Cheers.
