[NetBehaviour] Involuntaries 2006

[Alan Sondheim]

Hi Ruth,

and thank you! I think we probably made 50 or so pieces together. Some
we've taken out of circulation for personal reasons, but the majority are
available. Working with him was incredible and for a period of time we
tended to think along similar lines. We did work in New York, West
Virginia, Providence, Geneve, the pre-Alps, etc. We were very lucky. The
influence is still there with me,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDpoEYYuLWA&t=111s which I just put up for
example is "locative" on the guitar for example - I worked along somewhat
similar lines earlier, but I was able to think much more clearly, in
relation to discipline as well. Before we created a piece or performed in
public, he would warm up for an hour or two; I was doing similar but didn't
think of it as a "regimen." Azure's voice and movement worked perfectly,
and we're still recording together, making cds. So it changed my life. I'd
worked with other people before, but Foofwa was amazing. -

Best, Alan
