For anyone who might be interested, there's a short piece of mine for
microtonal electric guitar quartet up at Jon's new microtonal.org

Hi Dan,

Just to say I'm enjoying your microtonal guitar piece; played it
several times today and keep wanting to go back to it.

I like all those slow pitch glides too, and very slow pitch vibratos.

I think some of it is inspired by bird song is it not, those repeating
clear notes, and there is a very clear cuckoo in there too (at 52 seconds,
with an echo moved down a little in pitch at 58 secs).
Well, whether intentional or not it I heard it like that.

Thanks :-)

Robert

***To me this sounds like taking the "old" exuberant Dan Stearns
style and, to be old fashioned about it, adding a pinch of Miles
Davis restraint....
