John Paul Jones being interviewed on the Austrian television news after performing "Music from Nearly Ninety", his composition for bass guitar with live Kyma processing. Jones was the Keynote Performer for the Kyma International Sound Symposium on the 24th of September 2010 at Casino Baumgarten in Vienna. His performance was dedicated to the memory of choreographer Merce Cunningham who commissioned Jones to compose the music for what was to be his final dance piece in April 2009. Symposium organizers Bruno Liberda and Peter Rantasa are also interviewed for this story.
@rahawx Ha! Indeed, one well known Australian singer came here in the 70s from the U.S. because she thought she was going to be furthering her career in Austria.
