Nice website, Christian!
If you want to write a solo piano etude ever, I suggest you do it with an interval of 6th or .. whole notes. Or..5th! (will email you more about it later)

Hello Christian.

Wanted to say again it was nice to meet you yesterday while waiting to enter the BEAMS marathon. (I was the person you spoke with about toy pianos, Stockhausen and Bunk’s scratch-o-lin) I don’t get the chance to talk contemporary music very often as I live away from the city and few people in my town have ever heard of Cage, Stockhausen, etc.

I have to say your piece was most impressive. Bill’s playing was stupendous. The tutti phrases he had to nail with the prerecorded parts were fantastic and, I imagine, challenging to any percussionist. Also, I liked the way your piece began to ‘swing’ at times. I think it was Carl Ruggles who said that music must surge and your piece had that element.

Regards,
Derek Gunn
