Hope you are well. I just wanted to let you know that my ensemble (with fresh new personnel and some exotic instruments) is performing in NYC next Friday in morningside heights. Mike McGinnis will be sitting in (I hope) and I was wondering (if you are free that day)if you would like to sit in on a tune also. I have something in mind...

There will be sake & wine, and new repertoire as well as tunes from out debut CD. Parish Hall is on West 114th Street & Broadway. The door will open at 7 and the program will start at 8pm. We have l with

Hi Kyoko,

I too would love to work with you someday! Mike McGinnis kept mentioning your name during Steve Swallow/Ohad Talmor tour and I really wanted to be befriended with you! He spoke very highly of you! I have a lot of respect for him as a musician and, wow, what a great guy he is!!

Hey guys, Looking forward to playing with all of you in the various contexts I see you, and hopefully on a more regular basis. Hoping to make it to your gig next week as well, gig permitting! See you on Sunday, Kyoko; and I haven't forgotten, I still owe you a dialogue on the aesthetics of electronic manipulation and the artist's relationship to the types of choices that can be made. ok, yes, I am one of those philosophical nerds that gets lost in questions of aesthetics and artistic will.
