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 !

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.

Pour tous ceux qui se sont ramassés chez moi en cherchant des trucs sur Laborit
("Eloge de la fuite" ) -c'est ici que ça se passe. Ce livre est important pour moi et j'en ai retranscri des extraits que j'ai plantés là, pour pouvoir relire tout ça quand je veux et où je veux. Voilà.
