Lots going on with
the trio featuring Jordan O'Connor and
Michel DeQuevedo this summer.
We are busy recording our first album, due for release on sept.
9th, 2009,
and playing concerts around Toronto. More about the band, concert
dates & locations here.
I'm liking the color green
all of a sudden.
-We'd also like
to welcome Mr. Björn Werra to the world wide web - check
out his new site
and inundate him with comments. With 360 gigs a year, a lovely
wife and two kids, he still has way too much free time on his
hands, obviously.

Pour ceux qui
causent français et qui s'interessent à Boulez,
voici un (rare) entretient dans sa langue maternelle.
Tout-à-fait
réjouissant.
...And
some more Boulez on Mahler, in english - this is a great intereview,
well worth the detour. Do
read it !

Hi,
I am happy to be back in Toronto, after having worked on french
actor Bruno Putzulu's debut CD in Berlin. Guest
star Elsa Lunghini's presence for one day was
definitely a highlight, as was composer Bob Lenox's
visit to the studio. (We wish him a quick recovery).
Great to be working with the one and only Marco Birkner
again at the infamous Studio P1, in the ex DDR Runkfunk !

M'hamed

Bruno Putzulu, Tony Baillargeat

Dimensions
d'Istanbul
It's out, it's doing well, it's the hammer, don't tell me it has
no melody,
IT HAS ONE, it has MANY MELODIES, and they are all made of ONLY
THREE NOTES !
What else could anyone possibly want? AH !
More.
