sky tractor!

Early early sunday morning, I'm off to San Francisco. While there I'll be busy, a welcome change from my long alcohol-padded afternoons basking in the blinding southern sunshine sipping on mint juleps, working on my tan in the hammock.

Well, I have been doing a bit more than that! Recently I've been sampling a lot of piano sounds, building up a collection that I can keep working with, it's not everyday that I have access to an acoustic piano. Actually, nobody has pianos anymore, do they? I enjoy removing the attack portion of a piano sound, it creates such a great texture, almost like some sort of New Romantics analog electronic synthesized sound circa '82.

Also I am working with Tadashi Usami in Tokyo and Michael Cox in California on planning the network music portion of the Supercollider workshop I am teaching in Amsterdam at STEIM in July. Big thanks to them both.
