Marty’s had the pleasure this week of–via recording sessions with jazz pianist, Takana Miyamoto–working with koto player Junko Takeo. I wanted to witness some of this, and she had invited me to come down, but never could sync things up with H.o.p. to get down there. I had hoped, but…and now he [...]

By admin on April 29th, 2006Posted In: General, Music - Down in Deep
Here again is the information on the Carllile concert tomorrow night. I’ve seen the set list. They will be performing several of my favorite songs.
To mention a few selections:

Kind of a mess here right now. Commenting ability is suddenly gone. Looking for fixes.

Boingboing has a link to a video of San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Muriel Maffre performing “Ballet Mori”…conducted by the earth. It’s a “musical composition modulated line in real time by the fluctuations of the Earth’s movement as measured by a networked seismometer at the Hayward Fault”. The 3 minute dance was [...]
I’m so disappointed. H.o.p. began last week a little story book called “The Rude Cayman” but never finished it.
He cut out the cardboard cover and drew the pic and cut out paper to fit inside and began drawing the pics and writing the story then pffft apparently ran out of steam and interest and [...]
