Words:

2022 was great. I appreciate everything and all of you. In 2023, I already have 1 release lined up (early Feb from MuteAnt Sounds Netlabel) and I am resurrecting my experimental percussion series at Community of Sound (also called radical/love/DRUM) on 2/4/23. I am in the process of starting a low-key fundraiser for the series- I want to be able to offer the traveling musicians more than I can guarantee out-of-pocket & pass the hat. Please keep your eyes on my socials for that (I need to delete the one I currently started because no one can donate until I upload my identification & my driver's license expired on my birthday (sometimes I still feel & act like a child))

Jorge Boehringer: "Liberation Through a Lack of Interest: The No-Audience Underground" https://multiplesystemsofevents.wordpress.com/liberation-through-a-lack-of-interest-the-no-audience-underground/

(this piece, introduced to me by Gahlord Dewald, was very eye-opening at a time when i was struggling with some doubts about the music i created (was it worth it? who cares? WHY?))
