((i am attempting to make an example of why i can only approximate the languages i speak.. one and a half bona fide and the rest entirely subject to hunger, temperature, humidity.. cello, voice, electronics on occasion. live performance and antics.. cardboard spaceship shields, underwater mumbling, body/sound installations. sometimes just me, sometimes with others. enjoy.))
