Diana, Ron and all,
I have watched the DVDs many times now, as usually I
show them to my students in diferent contexts, when
the discussion on synesthesia and visual music
surfaces in my courses. It´s specially cool when we
can see them in a room with a large screen - not a
cinema room, but a college classroom with projection
and sound system.
The control Ron has developed on his laser-synthesizer
set-up is amazing, and the craftmanship developed for
producing such complex forms in real time is certaily
unique - I have never seen anything similar, but I
don´t know about it in countries where there are much
larger use of technological resources. However, people
doing digital things I see around do not have this
combination of low-tech, analogical synthesis and
laser - it´s Pellegrino´s exclusive know-how.
It´s a pity I don´t have the good projection rooms all
times I´d like to have them, so it´s just some weeks
each semester.
It´s a pity also that it´s very dificult to find a
room with a sound device which corresponds to Ron´s
acoustic expectations - good spakers, well placed,
etc. Seems that our culture is so focused in visuals,
that colleges put a lot of money in image projection,
but there´s not a single room where I can work with
sound the way it should be...
I´m working hard here in my thesis. Hope I´ll finish
in time...
best for you all, from Brazil

I finished the 4 DVD Visual Music Studies set a few
months ago then
started on the e-book that goes with the set so
folks outside the inner
circle might find some sense in the piece. Then as
the wind willed I
found myself in the abyss again because I passed the
baton (my
sanctuary project of the past three plus years) to a
woman who picked
up on it. So just a few hours ago I returned from a
week in Olympia,
WA (very beautiful country on south Puget Sound)
searching for a place
to start up a new sanctuary project. This time the
wind is composed of
multiple swirls and cross currents. I'm guessing
the wind thinks my
past tests in the abyss were too simple-minded so
it's time for me to
learn to deal with some cranked-up levels.
Hope all are well and hard at work.

Definitely better than worrying about the
