"The sound quality is exceptional [...] Performer, improviser, and composer McGowan has assembled around himself a tribe of dedicated musicians who perform the most fiendishly difficult rhythms with flair and ease..." - Guy Livingston, Paris Transatlantic

Eighth Blackbird Creative Lab

Earlier this summer I taught at Eighth Blackbird's first ever Creative Lab summer festival in Ojai, California. The vibe was stellar and the quality of the musicians even better. Here’s a performance of my piece, Garden of Iniquitous Creatures, played by Nathalie Joachim, Benjamin Mitchell, Jeff Stern, Robert Fleitz, Kate Outterbridge and Aaron Wolff.

The video became corrupted so the first 5 minutes are missing.



Here’s a clip from a rhythm class I taught at the Creative Lab.
