Sounds LikeA "classically trained" bore who's long since packed away the Shostakovich and forgotten years of theory and technique in favour of desperately trying to bridge the howling black hole of a gap between "anything played entirely on piano" and "anything you might want to listen to as anything more than a grim curiosity" in a transparent, largely ego-driven attempt to "fit in".

Christ, that felt great!

   About Peter Escott

"Those janglings of the strings, so general among ordinary practitioners, were never heard from the harp in his hands. But it was in piano passages he chiefly excelled: these came out with an effect indescribably charming. His 'whispering' notes commenced in a degree of piano that required the closest approach to the instrument to render them at first audible, but increase, by degrees, to the richest chords. In their greatest degree of softness, they resembled rather the sympathetic ones than those brought out by the finger."

Presently living somewhere with an internet connection too slow to load the actual music on anyone's Myspace. Thanks for the kind words, all, but the most I can do in return at the moment is compliment you on your imaginative and quite promising song titles.

Thanks! I have a feeling we'll miss you in Melbourne because Alex will still be overseas and I'll be possibly still in Canada or Sydney. But fingers - they're crossed - and all the same we look forward to your recorded work.

The way you negated the very existence of the audience on Friday night at the Alleycat was superb. Himmler would have stood at the back of the room and smiled briefly!
A great performance. Great to run into you and your friends. How about that goddam cab driver?
