Hi Jeff - Anyone who plays a quarter-tone trumpet and also loops deserves to play at a festival like this! :) I really look forward to hearing you and Ted play together, and even more so, you, Ted, and Rick on the second day of the event. I really like the guitar/trumpet duo format, especially since I received a copy of Digital/Spiritual from Kevin Brunkhorst and Paul Tynan...great work! Speaking of MAX/MSP, a young lady at the festival will be doing a 10 min intermission piece with that program (Gretchen Jude...see the festival site for more info). She is an electronic music student at Boise State University. You might get a kick out of that. And I'm sure Rick will, because she's doing almost everything with her voice. She sent me a demo CD and it is quite sophisticated. I would so quite sophisticated "for Boise," but I've learned in putting together this event that Boise is no more or less progressive in terms of folks playing experimental, avant-garde, or free improv music than any other place, relative to the population...that would be a comment in light of per capita stats. There a lot of folks coming out of the woodwork playing music I never thought existed here. I just needed to provide a major venue to bring them together. Although I've just had no luck whatsoever in finding horn players who I can improv with, let a lone looping. Any who, I'll get out and check out more of your sound clips now. See you next month! And I'd love to see you commenting more on this discussion group.
