 The MacArthur Foundation announced its 2019 fellows today, and among them is guitarist http://downbeat.com/archives/artist/mary-halvorson" rel="nofollow - Mary Halvorson . New York-based Halvorson is set to receive a “no strings attached” $625,000 stipend from the nonprofit organization, which aims to “encourage people of outstanding talent to pursue their own creative, intellectual, and professional inclinations” in various artistic disciplines, the sciences and other fields. “I always thought I’d study science,” said the guitarist—who’s been
issuing recordings with a cast of characters that includes bassist http://downbeat.com/reviews/detail/time-like-this1" rel="nofollow - Michael Formanek , violinist Jessica Pavone, drummer http://bit.ly/2J4Wwui" rel="nofollow - Tom Rainey and pianist http://downbeat.com/reviews/detail/time-gone-out" rel="nofollow - Sylvie Courvoisier
for more than a decade—in a video posted to the MacArthur website. She
goes on to say that the most engaging aspect of her work—whether
performing or writing—is the exploratory trail-and-error gambit. Halvorson also mentions the http://downbeat.com/reviews/detail/ours-theirs" rel="nofollow - Thumbscrew project, various ensembles she works in, as well as Code Girl, a group she heads that includes vocalist http://bit.ly/2SV0C9u" rel="nofollow - Amirtha Kidambi . Halvorson said there is a second Code Girl recording in the offing, too.
