Thanks, I assume you mean the first of the two (they're the same
person)...

That Maud Liardion piece was stunning.
So evocative.

I've posted several of your pieces on the blog.. most recently the
Maud Liardion piece..
I just thought you weren't reading anything!! The fountain was
amazing, and the piece
with the black smoky presence also.. There was also one which had
beautiful writing..
Just got back from seeing Yale's Tokyo Quartet, playing on four
Stradivariu,
A cello, viola, and two matched violins.. this set of instruments is
called
the paganini quartet as i guess paganini played some of them or
something..
we heard some mozart, higdon and brahms..
the reason i bring this up is the unconscious movements of the players
are like dance, and in the specific bodily configurations manifesting
and being manifested there was something which reminded me strongly
of your work.. there was a kind of epiphenomenal manifold in which
each was participating but also was experiencing..
anyway i thought of you as i watched those amazing musicians
tonight
and ritual is never far from the player but i've been listening to
Giacinto Scelsi today

RITUAL ALL 770: The Songs CD (FIRE MUSEUM)

this is the fourth Providence-related review in a

of the three. Gorgeous but constantly challenging
