We performed your piece "Nowell" and would like to distribute it electronically (i.e. let people download an aif file of our performance.) Can you let me know how we could go about getting permission to do this? Many thanks, Kate

Could you repost the link to your piece 'She Dances for Love'? I tried to download but the link was busted...

Thanks,

Paul Muller

I'm writing to request permission to use my 7/24 improv that used a couple snippets from your improv from the same day for the IF+1 album project.
Please let me know; thanks!
You can reply to skiks.bh@gmail.com if you want to discuss it.

Listened to and enjoyed "Sigfreid Scales an Alp". The horns sounded great.

Sigfreid sounds very Wagnerian - any connection?

Had a listen to your Improvisation for Bells. Very nice. Your bio says you are doing music for church. Do you see this being played as part of a service? If you have played it during church, what was the reaction? I have always though this sort of bell choir music would be ideal for a prelude.

Have you tried to adapt chorale tunes to minimalist/post-minimalist forms? I have been looking for folks who may have tried this to see their technique...

Regards,

P.M.

Listen online here. The number and email for the program are listed on the schedule. I suspect they still have the Hovhannes in their library. If you do request it, let me know!

I'd love to try the shakuhachi sometime. Not sure if my classical flute training would hinder more than it would help though...
