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 forms and communicating with sound and melody is irresistible. we've been playing duo for a few decades, and there is comfort that comes with time along with the awareness that we are digging into the moment of the ever changing now.
