Slightly Out Of Point But Related Somehow

A bit of a personal email about the going-ons the coming months/year.

In less than 24 hours, I say goodbye to Rotterdam and Europe to Asia for half a year at least.  The next 6-7 months I will be in India, Indonesia and Indochina, searching and researching for the exhaustive work of Taam Ming: Music Of The Post-Human Future Folk.

As some of you might already know, this latest project is going to be a
long term search for inventing/reinventing folklore and folk music.
Focussing on songs of loss and remembrance, I am trying to imagine the
world centuries from now and compose what I think folk music
from certain places will sound like.  Seduced by the beating overtones
of the gamelan, this journey will begin with the re-sampling of
Indonesia.  I plan on adding a page to the website soon and hopefully
get some kind of smaller mailing list going with interested parties and
not spam all of you with this.

After that, the continued search for music from Indonesia, lets see where the wind blows, or in this case, the gongs ring.  So if you have any contacts to interesting people/musicians you know in India/Indonesia/Indochina, please forward me their contact or do a nice short introduction to them!

Yes, life for me has never been as planned out as this, just writing
this makes me feel I have become all rigid!
