so friends, i am on my way back to the caravan farm today, to work for a week on a new leaky heaven circus project. i’m looking forward to a little cabin in the woods, lots of card playing, and of course some crazy theatre work. this also means that i’ll be on dial up for the week, and therefore moving slowly in this online world. when i get back i’ll post some pictures of our show last night. it was wild and my head is fuzzy this morning.
as for the life support system (see blogs below), there did end up being about 12 people who had to resend their “count me in” emails. so if you wrote to me and signed on, and didn’t get any response, please do try again. there are still a few packages left. i’ll try to check emails every coupla days this week. the best thing is that i now have enough money to make the record exactly as i’d like to. i’ve hired a wicked horn section, and a fantastic vibes/marimba player. and barry and justin have some schemes for timpani as well. it’s thrilling.
a note for folks in canada: the bonnie klein film “Shameless: The ART of Disability” that i wrote music for is airing on Bravo on may 13, 5pm PT and 8pm ET. it’s a marvellous film. you can also buy it on dvd from the NFB.
ok, enough info. i’m going to pack and drink my coffee. til next week i remain, faithfully yours xv
Folks out of Canada feel left out. Maybe, if I figure out what “NFB” stands for, I can order it myself ;-).
Rafael, NFB is the National Filmboard Of Canada:

Click your way through and you find “Shameless: The ART of Disabilityâ€? and how to order it. I will place my order later today…
Thank you so much, Per.
I will definitely take a look!
Vancouver folks can rent Shameless at Videomatica (1855 W. 4th Ave).
There appear to be two versions, a 48 minute one and a second at 71 minutes. Confusing…
the shorter one is an edit we did for tv, i recommend the 71 minute version.
