Dear Mr Nowitzsky,

Bill Sethares suggested I send this to you to be posted on your list.

I am looking for composers with a strong interest in microtonality
who might be interested in contributing a solo piece for my 19-
division trumpet- what I call the Yasser Collection? The only
stipulation is that it should fit on 2 sides of A4 paper (Letter) and
be between 2-5 minutes. I have about 10 pieces at the minute- see
http://www.duocontour.org/main_menu.htm - and there are some more in
the pipeline. Some are with live electronics or CD too.

Would you be interested? Maybe you have suggestions of who might be
interested. My aim is release a CD in at the end of 2008 or in 2009.
My first CD of Donald Bousted's microtonal studies came out in January

The trumpet is fully documented as part of the online microtonal
trumpet manual project I have had with composer Donald Bousted

With thanks and best wishes,
