There is an old bridge in Sydney [Sydney Harbour bridge] can we
book the band to play there?

Spooky ! This is really nice Jeff ! I love those resonant metal
timbres and organic [not obotic] rhythms. The melodies were
otherworldy too. But this is such a tease.. Play us some more!

Jeff,

Have you heard "table's Clear" by Paul Lansky? In the same
"kitchen percussion" vein, though to be honest, I like your darker, more
misterioso harmony better than Lansky's "bubble gum pop" harmony, but I
guess that's just a matter of taste.

Anyway, keep going. . .
