Since 1978, Roulette, located in the trendy SoHo district in New York City, has been one of the most celebrated venues for contemporary music and intermedia art. As a Music Omi fellow, I was as excited as a baby polar bear with two beach balls when learning that we will have the opportunity to visit this legendary performing space for new music.

Music Omi 2008 fellows presented a concert at Roulette on August 11, featuring Vaasanti by Sankari Krishnan, Nada by Jen-Kuang Chang, My Darling Svedka by Ziggy Campbell,  Ganesha by Hans Parment, improvisation by Ute Voelker, Untitled by Milo Tamez, Just Now by Richardo Arias, My Pet by Monika Heidemann, Hamsaamixnandi by Julianne Carney, Komprovisation by Erëmira Citaku, aus dem Zyklus "Heimatlieder" Nr. 5 by Vlady Bysrov, Untitled by Ivo Bol, How They Are by Jasna Jovicevic, and Sign Here Before Drowning by Udo Moll.

Music Omi International Residency 2008, with Jeffery Lependorf serving as Director and Katie Down as Guest Mentor, was supported by the Prana Foundation, The Netherland-America Foundation, Friends of Omi International Arts Center, and the New York State Council on the Arts, a State Agency.
