Hey Leonardo and All, The web page for O.R.I. is: http://www.reinformation.com/ The last time I talked to them they wanted $29.00 for the program. They do a good job of performing too. Pretty amusing. Have fun. While I'm here I hope nobody minds me throwing in a little plug. I'll be doing an improvised electronic, organic, loop collage set at Georges 5th St. Cafe, 517 South 5th St, Philadelphia, May 28th from 9:00 to 10:30pm and there's no cover. I'll be pounding on my Jupiter-6 and SH-101 looping through an RDS-8000 and some other F/X. I'm going under the name of "Theatre of the Mind". also: I do an electronic experimental event once every month "Upstairs at Nick's" at 16 So. 2nd St., Phila. June 3rd called E L E C T R O L U S T. This month I'm featuring David Tolento's "Music for Isolation Tanks" and "Theatre of the Mind"(myself-opening) with dj John Schenk spinning between sets. Should be a great evening. If anyone is interested in doing a set in the near future give me a shout at <ngc1275@voicenet.com> or leave a message at 610.664.8809. Later, Mark of b.
