After walking away from the New England Conservatory in Boston, James Carson backpacks overland from Spain to Japan. At the center of the story is the unusual off-grid cabin in the Canadian wilderness that he designs and builds by hand upon his return. It is here, away from everything, that the lived experiences and myriad threads interweave and a new form of music emerges. Pianist and filmmaker James Carson’s two-decade effort to transform the ways in which music is created and experienced by audiences will be followed by a brief Q&A and live piano recital by him. 72 min. plus Q&A/concert.
