AETHERPHON, global theremin family

I'm around, just lurking these days. Been working on finishing up my Masters. Yesterday I was an unemployed library student, today I'm an unemloyed librarian. Now I can spend time practicing again I haven't touched, errr, not touched a theremin in the last six months. The only music I've been playing was bass with my working bands.

I'm here, have been busy, however not as busy with the theremin as I 
would like. I'm desparately trying to catch up with non-theremin 
things and will be about 2-3 weeks before I am back on track.

I will attend and perform at the electro-music festival in August 14-16:

I will perform works that I have written in the last year -- I also 
will compose a new work to premier at the festival. The new work will 
be a live-looping work around 7 minutes long.

The last six months have found me in the throes of family emergencies 
-- one after another -- and this has cut into my studio/practice time. 
I had to shelve my cd project and some other projects have 
languished. This has really been painful however I hope to be in a 
position to pick things up this summer.

Last fall I participated in a project by Amin Bhatia and the CD, 
entitled, "Virtuality" is being released today. The CD includes 
Ravel's "Bolero" that features fifty years of electronic instruments 
(it starts with vintage analog modular synths and progresses through 
60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and current technology in the course of the work. 
It includes the Ondes Martinot (played by Thomas Bloch), the theremin 
(played by me), and a plethora of vintage synthesizers. The booklet 
that comes with the CD includes a timeline of all the instruments used 
and features liner notes by Mark Vail (you may be familiar with Mark's 
book on 'Vintage Synthesizers').

The Ethermusic festival was a great success and there is a video 
report on it from "Electronic Musician":

OK... that's the latest from here.

A great day to one and all!
