Re: collaboration?

I'd like to collaborate with you some time:
You- Doing Frank Moore shamanistic ritual + special solo singing piece somewhere (at your TV program you said that you like to sing, right?). Me accompanying your song.

Me: -In my ritual performance persona and making music and sound throughout (composer/performer)_ electronic ambiance, sound, noise with my toys.
What do you think?

Are you coming to the next Temescal performance Friday November twenty?

Hi Frank:

First I have to say that I have a very large history of collaborations and that I am very adaptable so I can just blend easily into whatever you want to do.

In any case here are some of my ideas. I envision me being a hybrid cyborg tribal persona maybe including face and/or body paint. I have a lot of invented instruments but for the sake of practicality, my musical Instrument can be my collection of hacked toys , some of them allow me to move, some others not. For the last several years I see my performances and music as cures and my instruments as talismans of cure. THe whole performance can include a closing healing song which you will sing to the the audience. I can improvise the proper accompaniment, I see this in the native Americantradition of songs that exist only for that moment and that are revealed to us by the divine forces of nature. By this I do not mean a song in the musical style of native americans but more a conceptual native song.

My late music blends noise and music. It is necessarily not loud but it uses the "noisy" inherit characteristics of broken or altered electronics. Of course your voice and guidance of the show will be only enhanced (not covered) by the music.
What do you think?

that works for me. if you want me to do a cameo in your performance with me doing the last "healing song," I can do that. If you want more of a jam where we improv everything, I can do that also. We could play around at Temescal if you bring your instruments/toys.
