WHERE EVERYTHING IS MUSIC: I'm most excited to tell you about my newest composition. Alvar Audio featuring Matthew DeMerritt performed a setting of the Rumi poem Where Everything is Music, translated by Coleman Barks, during the November Integral U Art meeting. Of course Wrench was on poem, the burgeoning spoken word rockstar that he is. I played my classical guitar in a sparse yet pulsing palatte of color, and Matt DeMerritt played flute in a way that transmitted the pure graceful love that embodies his very being. What a treat and pleasure it was to meet Matt in meat-space. The rehearsal of the piece was a trip, a collaborative journey, and the performance gave us all "micro-surprises" moment to moment. We will definitely make this piece available as soon as possible. What a dream to work with these two artists in a project that made us all dig deep into our souls with drunken graceful laughter and love. The other artists quickly dubbed our group the Mattriarchy. To that, I sing Spin On!
