On Tuesday October 10, 2006 at 8pm, Stefan Tcherepnin will be performing at The Kitchen in New York with painter Jutta Koether as part of "Cinema Zero", an evening of film, performance and live music curated by Amy Granat. The Cinema Zero project promotes connections between artists of different generations and fosters experimentation across disciplines.

In November 2006, Stefan will travel to Moscow for a residency at the Theremin Center for Electronic Music. This is the result of an exchange program initiated by the Theremin Center and Diapason Gallery for Sound and Intermedia, in NYC.  For the occasion, Stefan is composing a work for percussion and electronics, which will be presented along with his other works for various media.

In August Stefan travelled to Japan for the Echigi-Tsumari Art Triennial, where he joined artists Ei Arakawa, Jutta Koether, Jay Sanders and Emily Sundblad in a collaborative performance, "Grand Openings". The main performance took place in the gymnasium of Tsunan High School, for an audience of 300 students. Aside from his role as sound engineer, Stefan performed and re-mixed seminal American electronic works from the past two decades, as well as his own compositions. The group also presented a "chamber" version of Grand Openings at the Magical ARTROOM in Tokyo. More info available at:
