One of these ideas was a state-wide, month-long festival of singing called the Northern Voice Festival. That idea blossomed in April 2009 with 200+ performances and two weekends of performances in the Twin Cities featuring dozens of groups, professional and amateur. The lesson learned (once again) from producing the NVF was: "what doesn't kill you makes you strong." We are still gaining our strength and watching the horizon for the next BHAG (Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal). For a couple of years, Randall worked closely with Garrison Keillor at a time when he lived in New York City.
As a long-time Classical musician with a preference for contemporary idioms and Renaissance music, Randall has been turning his attention once again to immersive arts with the ensemble, Paris 1919; the brain-child of band-leader and producer Chris Strouth. Randall improvises and has been developing his own approach to processed cello with this All-Star ensemble. He has been featured in regular appearances at the "Drones Not Drones" marathon festival and recent collaborations with Hans-Joachim Roedelius and singer Natalie Nowytski at the 2018 Art-A-Whirl festival.
