Fanny Howe

here is a link to an essay by the poet Fanny Howe that has some wonderful stuff in it that speaks directly to our project for me... I need to re-read it and mull it over more, so I am putting the link here for both you and me!

Gavin Bryars

A couple of people that I've spoken to recently about Steve Reich's work with speech melody have mentioned the work of a British composer called Gavin Bryars, in particular The Sinking of the Titanic (1969) and Jesus Blood Never Failed Me Yet (1971). Bryars has quite an extensive website.

John Somebody

After you mentioned Scott Johnson and John Somebody in your email last week, I ordered a copy from Amazon. It arrived yesterday and I haven't had an opportunity to listen to it yet but I'll probably get a chance over weekend. Looking forward to it...
