i can't really express what an honor and joy it is to play with fred frith!
it seems we are always veering into new terrain, and the listening and concentration on shaping form and communicating with sound and melody is engaging and wholly exciting. we've been playing duo for several years now, and there is both comfort in that and the awareness that we are still digging deeper beneath the surfaces we carve out in every performance.
