BOISE EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC FESTIVAL: a special thanks

["loop.pool" <looppool@cruzio.com>]

Thanks for everything and  to everybody who participated in the Boise 
Experimental Music Festival
last weekend.  I can't believe that it will be a week away from it.  I'm 
still reeling!

  This was one of the most memorable festivals I"ve ever participated in
and the communal vibe and plethora of creativity  you all had going in 
Boise 
was really impressive to me.

I came home feeling so unbelievably creative and inspired by what I saw 
there.    I think I am going to use the old
adage of Picasso........."Good artists borrow..............great artists 
steal"   and go out and get some contact mics.
This is when music gets good:  when you just have to create because of 
what 
you've seen and been stimulated by.


>From the Lumper Splitter found object set to Jeff Kaiser's amazing 
>gargling 
Max/MSP solo during
Ted Killian's and my set to the beautiful Alvin Lucier piece to the really 
fun (and scary)  Boise Naval Base theatre performance to the wonderful 
videos to the amazing and thought provoking Cosmic Rays piece (and those 
amazing metallic speaker experiments) to Gretchen Jude's really cool vocal 
Max/MSP piece ................to the beautiful Visual Arts Collective and 
it's truly wonderful and generous owners (which has a beautiful new art 
show 
put up the next day if you are in Boise reading this)............it was 
just 
an amazing festival!

I felt so privileged to be asked to perform.

I look forward to coming and performing again in Boise if you'll have me 
back.

Thanks Krispen.   You did nothing short of an inspirational job

much love,   Rick  Walker
