Friends,

It has been a while.  Many sounds have come and gone.  Among other things:

Some ongoing updates are happening to the website.  You’ll notice some new pieces in the “music/words” section. One is an essay on the student-teacher relationship.  The other is an outline for a workshop I hope to start leading in the next months on developing a polymetric sense of time.

Ameranouche is almost done with tracking for our new record.  We feel we’ve captured something very special.  Lot’s of gigs as well!  Stay updated here: www.ameranouche.com

I’m fresh off a trip to Istanbul.  Many sounds heard.  They will take some time to understand and integrate. Some will remain ineffable.  I feel inspired.  Looking forward to playing with Orkestra Marhaba in and around the Boston area and continuing to study the repertoire.  Keep up with OM here: www.facebook.com/OrkestraMarhaba

Yours,

Michael
