Summer is drawing to a close and I’m flying back to the USA. Before it ends, here we are in Darmstadt, workshopping ideas for a new work, rumour — distant land, with Gwen Rouger, Franco Venturini and Simon Steen-Andersen. Experiments with the musicians of soundinitiative will inform the use of cassette players in my work being premiered by DieOrdnungDerDinge in November at the Bludenzer Tage zeitgemäßer Musik.
