<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Watch it and you will be presented with a composition of creative metaphors. Do you like what they hide, what they show?</div><div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">The musical not-quite-hierarchy presented is an inversion of how I think about music: I think about premises supporting tools supporting consumption. But the presentation inverts this, hmm! while keeping a traditional usage of "sky". It also forges a cybernetic connection between tuning systems and belief systems.</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">I hung out with Erv Wilson for an afternoon back in 2007. It wasn't enough time for me, though I've spent lots of other time scratching my head at the documents offered at <a href="http://www.anaphoria.com/wilson.html">http://www.anaphoria.com/wilson.html</a></div>
<div dir="ltr"><br></div><div dir="ltr">Last night, Andrew and I sang through his new round "Fetus Float Foot", written in the 2-3-5-7-11 dekany. We hope to have a version to share soon (er, right Andrew?) Dekanies were discovered/invented by Erv Wilson. So, there ya go.</div>

<font size="5"><span style="font-size:18px"> I guess this is my official announcement of the launch of a project that (until a couple months ago) has been pretty much a full time job for the last 2 years. I've been working with Gary David and Marcus Hobbs for the last 5 years trying to figure out a way to explain to the general public the groundbreaking work of Ervin Wilson, a "musical cosmologist" with whom we have all studied. His contribution to music is very deep and we believe represents a major evolution in the future of music and other fields as well. I've put in at least 5000 hours filming, editing, scoring and narrating etc., what was supposed to be a short documentary but ending up being a "transmedia" project including an ipad app, an album, and some commissioned artwork all parked on an elaborate website dedicated to his work. The main event at the website is a 21 minute film that gives the viewer a chance to directly experience the effect of his musical innovations. The site has 11 other explanatory videos, interviews, and more to come as well. I'd love it if everyone receiving this email would do me a favor and go to the site, leaving your comments under the different films and mp3's. You input will largely influence how we proceed with all this so please be honest. I am in the middle of an intensive Disney project right now and have not been able to get back to friends and family very fast but please let me know if this material in any way connects with you or not. We'd appreciate if you sent the website to as many people as you think would be interested, and/or post on your Facebook page.</span></font><div>
