This morning was another good rehearsal of the orchestra amalgammes with Walter and Christophe in preparation for the St.Saéns concerto concert on the 5th coming up soon. On Sunday I will be playing solo invited by Youen Cadiou the excellent bass player who is organizing a nice evening of improvisational music. The afternoon was an excellent workshop for people new to soundpainting, where I was teaching. It was my first paid teaching gig (soundpainting) in Paris, and it went very well. Rafael Arditti, who organized the event, was giving me a ride home when we got rear ended by some jerk who wasn't paying attention to his driving. It turned out to be very funny to me, but obviously not for her. She was shook up and I ended up driving her home and parking her car after a long time searching for a parking spot. I also want to announce that I will be doing a radio broadcast in Orléans in febuary. It will be an hour long program about strings and improvisation with a focus on my stuff, including a live performance. Hopefully I will bring the tape home and make it available on here for people to listen to, even if you don't understand french, you could still check out the music. The whirlwind continues with a rehearsal tomorrow of the spoumj orchestra (françois jenneau) and then the solo concert on sunday. More updates coming soon...
