Right next door to Champaign. Wonderful university, but in the middle of nowhere (Southern Illinois).  And also the birthplace of one Aaron Cassidy.  Glad I could talk you into joining us, CD. Careful, it's addictive! Very happy to get to meet your family this weekend! |

This is a very busy community indeed! Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Nicolas of Cusa is nowhere near my favorite philosopher, but my most musically inspiring one. He determined, long before Einstein or even Copernicus, that any point in the universe can be the center.
Gertrude Stein is nowhere near my favorite author, but my most musically inspiring author. She determined, long before anyone else, that she was herself the center of the universe; plus perhaps Pablo Picasso, but not Andre Gide.
Mathias Spahlinger I won't talk about much here. First I have to write an article about his work. Yes, I am a student of his, but have no intention of lionizing, emulating, or otherwise irritating him. Plus I'm not sure he would even approve of my current work. The article might show up sometime this year in a yet undetermined location.

Do send my regards to a certain double-bass player, a certain cigar-smoking composer, and a certain Cage scholar on the faculty there at Champaign-Urbana if you see them, CD!

Actually I think he might have moved to somewhere else now - DP? |

... and CD's arrival here raises the number of participants who were also present at the 2003 Schloss Solitude Sommerakademie in various capacities to a bewildering seven. Which is about what, one in four, all told? And a higher percentage if you disregard non-fluent English speakers.
How incredibly odd.

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

I dare say. I have managed to count seven also, though unwilling to admit how long it took me. Dear Member Sudden, yes I will be in merry old Europe (MOE) again, though not sure if at all before July 2008. I just agreed to translate again at the Darmstadt courses (5th consecutive stint, in tandem with Member quartertone!) |

We were clearly a good year - the pioneers! Which is about what, one in four, all told? And a higher percentage if you disregard non-fluent English speakers. Which would strike me as a somewhat chauvinist course of action... |
