very cool effects with the viola! at first i was a little doubtful that the tone would work out in your favor...but then i saw how that was the effect you were going for.

By attending a recital of composer violists - Rudolf Haken & Genevieve Knoebel - I learned how awesome pieces written for software & electric viola are. I looked for more & discovered your "Sparrow". It's fantastic!

The addition of the narrator & visual imagery is inspiring.

I posted the video response excerpt from Genevieve's 'Transparency"' & hope you enjoy. champaignunderground

I saw these guys at Notacon this year. Fantastic!

Nothing rhymes with the Soviet Union.

Steve Mokris is the most tremendous creative force I have ever encountered. If you enjoyed this, check out Tuesday Afternoon at China Wong Buffet.

This is really nice, I like what you are doing. Great wisps of Captain Beefheart, bootleg Brian Wilson studio tapes, Petra Haden, Velvet Underground, if Sonic Youth was unplugged, and all kinds of other great other things it is evoking for me...

maybe the violist was a bit nervous...but i think it was a nice idea
