Admittedly there was not much to look at. My appreciation of Hammer's work is largely from the perspective of conceptual art, and since Hammer himself comes out of a visual art background his music makes sense in that context. My own music history is of a singer who got into electronics. I like good melodies but I also like noise and subtly evolving timbres. -- ______________________________________________________________ Richard Zvonar, PhD (818) 788-2202 http://www.zvonar.com http://RZCybernetics.com http://www.cybmotion.com/aliaszone http://www.live365.com/cgi-bin/directory.cgi?autostart=rz
