Hi Ruth, and thank you! I think we probably made 50 or so pieces together. Some we've taken out of circulation for personal reasons, but the majority are available. Working with him was incredible and for a period of time we tended to think along similar lines. We did work in New York, West Virginia, Providence, Geneve, the pre-Alps, etc. We were very lucky. The influence is still there with me, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDpoEYYuLWA&t=111s which I just put up for example is "locative" on the guitar for example - I worked along somewhat similar lines earlier, but I was able to think much more clearly, in relation to discipline as well. Before we created a piece or performed in public, he would warm up for an hour or two; I was doing similar but didn't think of it as a "regimen." Azure's voice and movement worked perfectly, and we're still recording together, making cds. So it changed my life. I'd worked with other people before, but Foofwa was amazing. -
