Adapt http://www.alansondheim.org/azurecd09.png http://www.alansondheim.org/adapt.mp3 solo clarinet with adaptive noise reduction We're increasingly isolated in Providence. I feel we're pariahs. It's slowing me up; depression invades intention. I'm beginning to feel everyone's furious with me or us for reasons unknown. Anyway, a new clarinet improvisation. Notes - My jinashi shakuhachi received a new hanko from Perry Yung today; I didn't realize he has an illustrious stage/ acting career! I unsubscribed finally from nettime; my own posts tend not to go through and the discussion seems to have increasingly narrowed. This makes me all the more thankful for DIWO and the generosity of the Netbehaviour list which manages to be open, productive, and amazingly creative. Have given up on antique Albert system clarinets; I've had to return two of them because of cracks, misfitting barrels, and a general sense of being out of tune. The instrument here is a Boehm wooden Pruefer with amazing response and tone, from the 1960s or 70. We're getting ready to drive across country to bring the rarer instruments to the National Music Museum in South Dakota; they're too delicate to keep, beautiful art works in themselves, and they'll get decent humidity and care at the Museum. We're giving them gratis; they'll pay for the drive out. Stephen Dydo and I will do a guqin duet for the new cd; I'm really happy about this - we play well together. Reading the Dionysiaca of Nonnus/Nonnos, an Elmore Leonard, novel, a book on the Anthropocene, Husan Hua's A General Explanation of the Vajra Prana Paramita Sutra, Jacqueline Waters' poetry, Badiou's Ethics, the Rigveda Brahmanas. Recent sleep excessively disrupted, two new murders in Providence, guest taught in Leslie Thornton's classes and saw wonderful film/video work, and have been really sick with a constant sore throat, wheezing, and pain. The pension problem seems solved here, there was a savage beating down the street from us, snow is still around but mostly gone. Nobody died. _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
