Re: Diane Moser's Composers Big Band "Music of the Spheres" April 10th

[Eric Leonardson]

Congratulations, Diane. This sounds wonderful. I'm off to Brooklyn to perform tonight... http://ericleonardson.org/whatsnew/?p=1021, so I have to run...but would love to chat.

I'm cc'in my freinds in the New York Society for Acoustic Ecology and Christopher DeLaurenti, in Virginia. Perhaps some would like to attend the talks or get involved in collecting sounds.

All the best,
Eric
