Although the Lost Civilizations experimental music project is essentially a duo and performs most frequently as such, it often features guest performers. When our complex schedules permit, we now perform with Doug Kallmeyer on bass and electronics, Jerry Busher on percussion and electronics and Emily Chimiak on vocals and violin.
The Lost Civilizations experimental music project has three releases on the Italian Ozky e-sound label, all of which are free downloads: http://goo.gl/HvnUd; http://goo.gl/pyaB1; and http://goo.gl/S14me; hours more of free download are posted below the asterisks at http://goo.gl/OznNw (the project’s schedule is above the asterisks).

In March New World Records released a stunning album that lets us hear what Byrd was up to before he jumped into the rock scene. NYC 1960-1963 features the excellent New York new music group American Contemporary Music Ensemble (which includes pianist Timothy Andres, violinist Caleb Burhans, violist Nadia Sirota, and recent Pulitzer Prize winner and violinist Caroline Shaw) playing 11 of his early works, most of which were written in the shadows cast by Cage, but which still stand easily on their own.
