--empyre- soft-skinned space-- Paige (and everyone): This is all so interesting to me, because I had no idea when and why you and Tony might have undertaken home recordings, and how you felt about them as a particular mode of play. It sounds as if playing music didn't

--empyre- soft-skinned space-- Such great questions -- and I have a few for you too! I think that recording definitely goes in the category of "serious goofing around." We had a zoom recorder on the kitchen table at all times... and at one point we had the idea to set

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Thank you Paige and David. I’m writing on my IPhone now, before I get to the office with Internet at Buffalo. I thought of Tony often, although we hadn’t met, every time I’m in the halls of Media Study at SUNY, or blessed time with Paige in

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Dear all: Glad to be taking part. I met Tony Conrad and first started playing music with him in 1994, when he came to Chicago to record the album *Slapping Pythagoras* for the Table of the Elements label. I knew the tiniest bit about him

--empyre- soft-skinned space--Thank you, Margaret and Renate. It's hard to know where to begin. Tony Conrad thought and worked at the intersections of play and collaboration across decades and media. Playing with others on stage and off was serious fun for him. We
