During the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, Jay came together with Greg Lewis to create a dynamic, living work that would not only connect them but also bridge them to their communities. Thus arrived their most recent LP, ‘Living Bridges,’ featuring an assortment of original compositions and improvisations dedicated to their friends, family, and mentors. Recorded during the summer of 2021, Oberman and Lewis safely got together for two days to write and record the album in Lewis’s garage. The work continued to be shaped remotely, as Jay and Greg layered tracks from across the Atlantic. The music was then used as inspirations for visual art and short films from Jacqueline Andrews and Valentina Rosset. Link to Album and video by Rosset below. (2023)

Jay has also been working on a singersongwriter project exploring alternate tunings on classical and acoustic guitars. Their study of the Hindustani instrument, the esraj, also appears in some of their new songs. Here’s a piece from Jan 1 2023.






Jay Oberman paired with Rafael Luna to record an album of original flute and guitar music. Jay focused on radical alternate tunings as a method for composing, and the album is deeply personal for both musicians. It’s about transformation and the ways in which events alter us, thereby changing our colors. Artwork by Serena Hughes. (2019)
