This is great, great take on the use of transducers and mic. Is there any way to hear the whole performance?

I LOVE THIS!!! I was raised by a violinist, and very soon discovered improvisation - playing piano, then trumpet, then in Boulder found Ussachevsky one summer - who insisted I create my first acousstimatic composition for a summer workshop - life has never burn better!!! I taught music for years, and still compose....
Very cool– inventive, elegant, resourceful.
