Bill Alves, a question!

Dear Bill,

I ask this on-list, in case others might want to know:

I really enjoyed your two gamelan/string pieces at the first concert at MicroFest -- are these available on recording? I apologize if there are sources I am unaware of...

Cheers,
Jon

Jon,

Regrettably, those pieces are not yet on a published recording. I have made
one studio recording, but the string players are dissatisfied with their
tuning and are going to redo their tracks soon. I would like to have a CD
released sometime, but some labels I have approached have not signalled any
interest in the pieces. Perhaps they fall uncomfortably in between the
academic and commercial constituencies. But thanks for your interest!

Bill

Well, all the more good fortune that I made it to the concert.

Help! I've fallen but I can't get signed to a major (or minor) label!!

Thanks for the music...
