Saved for listening later tonight when there aren't distractions. BTW, I know one of the members of this august list has been playing around with a wind instrument controller and a sax VST called SaxLab. Maybe we'll hear some of those results some day as well.

Looking forward, listening forwarder...

Cheers,
Jon

Chris,

Sorry it took me a couple of days to write back, but thanks for sharing your latest. I think, in this instance, I would be *especially* interested in hearing a performance, so that there was more sonic difference between the sax and it's interaction with the electronics. I'll look forward to that particular 'document'.

But what I really want to say (and, I guess, thank you for) is your continued use of such a wide palette of sound events in a musical construction. So often lip service it paid to the concept of expanded horizons when it comes to the actual material we use to create a new piece. To have someone not only expanding the tuning horizon, but to also be incorporating a very democratic use of sounds, is not only forward-thinking but very satisfying on an artistic level.

Oh, and yeah, what he said: it's fun, too!

Cheers,
Jon
