Hi Chad:)
I'm ok. Had a little problems with my heart, but I hope it'll be ok.
I've just finished my master's tesis about determinism and indeterminism in 20th century music:)
besides, I play drums with my metal band and guitar with my hard core/indie/progressive or sth like that:P hope I'll return to my experimental, free jazz bands soon.
And how are You?
be well
