Does anyone have a current email address for Arturo Salinas. The one I have

Now is your chance to write a xenharmonic anthem for Mars and get it

"Pioneers" Anthem Plays - On MARS!
JPL Broadcasts Mars Society Anthem as Sol 20 Opportunity Wakeup Music.
New Song Contest to be Held.
Feb 15. 2004

The Mars Society is proud to announce that the flight team at JPL
selected the Mars Society's anthem "The Pioneers of Mars" as wakeup
music for Opportunity's 20th sol (February 14th). Written by partners
in life and song Karen Linsley and Lloyd Landa, "The Pioneers of
Mars" was honored with the Mars Society's first Rouget de Lisle award
in 2000.

Co-author Landa died unexpected of a heart attack days before the
song's debut at the Mars Society's August 2000 Toronto conference,
after which Karen exclaimed in tears, "Get to Mars. And when the
notes of this song are heard on Martian soil, he will live again."

You may hear "The Pioneers of Mars" and other songs from the Mars
Society's recent collaboration album with Prometheus Music, "To Touch
the Stars", at http://www.prometheus-music.com/buy/thestars-ms.html .

In view of the success of the Prometheus Music "To Touch the Stars"
CD,
the Mars Society is proud to announce that it will hold its Second
Rouget de Lisle Award contest for songs celebrating the cause of the
human exploration and settlement of space.

We are asking for a tape or CD of songs, to be submitted together
with a hardcopy of the lyrics by no later than April 30, 2004 to Mars
Society, Box 273, Indian Hills, CO 80454. Songs can be any style;
classical, folk, country, pop, jazz, rock and roll, etc. A committee
of judges will then down select to ten finalists, who will be invited
to play at the 7th International Mars Society Convention, Palmer
House Hilton, Chicago, IL, Aug 19-22 2004. The audience will then
vote for the winning songs. All finalists, however, will submitted to
Prometheus Records for consideration for its next CD, and will also
be forwarded to NASA for possible use as wakeup songs for crews of
the International Space Station, the Mars Rovers, and the Cassini
spacecraft which is now approaching Saturn!

So tune up your harps, space bards, turn in your songs and prepare to
turn out for Chicago. Let your voices ring out into the solar system.
Mars needs music, and the Chicago conference is going to be the
Woodstock of Mars!

John, I tried looking high and low just 3-4 wks ago for any Salinas'
music or email. Found the Deep Listening site, but that's not what I needed. Seems
- ever since IIRC leaving Mills - he's incommunicado. In fact it _seems_ the
Mills website and the linked faculty/alumni webpages no longer have even a
trace of him. What's with that? Another Mills "purge"? Or Salinas just choosing
to be incommunicative?

Neat-o. ::already imaging something along some kind of de-constructed
dominant-9th chordal lines . . . in some type of microtonal wolf&tritone-rich
"meantone" scale of course::
