Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy congratulates Recording Arts faculty Miguel Kertsman on the release of his new album, Time? What’s Time? A labor of love over 10 years in the making, Time? What’s Time? features collaborations with other artists on three different continents recording in Los Angeles, New York, Vienna, Brazil and Florida’s “Space Coast.”

Upon the album’s release, Mr. Kertsman reflected upon the ways in which the atmosphere and talent at Tribeca Flashpoint Media Arts Academy helped to make Time? What’s Time? come together.

“At Flashpoint, not just in one city, but within literally one building, there is so much great energy and potential for collaboration, I found myself engaging with colleagues / friends, and organically orientating the record’s final development to a new direction on its packaging, presentation, and companion content; changing the original plans. I feel very fortunate to have collaborated with [Game & Interactive Media student] Heath Marks, [Film & Broadcast faculty] Killian Heilsberg, [Film & Broadcast student] Ted Wilkinson, [Recording Arts faculty] Bernie Mack, and [Game & Interactive Media faculty] Alan Reck on those final project aspects.

“Words don’t describe how genuinely appreciative I am, and how inspiring it has been working with them, and for that Flashpoint is to be thanked. Needless to say (but I do anyway) [Tribeca Flashpoint] is a fantastic fertile ground for artistic synergies, and cool things to happen, as we all experience practically on a daily basis.”

The physical record, when purchased from www.miguelkertsmanmusic.com, comes with a companion computer game, “Coniclysm” by ZoopTek (a creation of Game & Interactive Media faculty Alan Reck), 8 panels of original images by Tribeca Flashpoint student Heath Marks, a complete booklet, lyrics, and a digital wallpaper gallery of album artwork. The album is also available on Amazon.com, iTunes.com, and at various retail outlets.
