  To be sure, it sounds like much of your work has a phenomenal performative experience, but have performance artists ever played a part in the presentation of your musical experiments?

  Loving Phil Kline's - WOW! Thanks so much for having him on and sharing a bit about his composition strategies and influences with us.

  Hi Phil! We worked together on Zippo Songs at HERE. Just wanted to ask-- Are you working on any other projects that include theatrical elements?

  Best in 2009!

  Great interview.

  I am very interested in the book that Mr. Kline referenced when he was talking about Locus Solus. Does anyone remember the name of the book?

  thanks

  Natali,

  The book is "Locus Solus" by Raymond Roussel. It seems like a cosmic joke on the part of the author that Locus Solus (which means "only place") is always hard to find. I don't know if there is an English version in print right now, but I found one at at St. Mark's Books about two years ago.

  If you read French, the original version may be somewhat easier to find, and it includes all the obscure word games that are inevitably lost in translation.

  You are so kind to respond to my post. I tuned in part way into your interview and managed to miss the title of the book. I was able to find a copy on amazon.com in English. Sadly I can’t read French.

  Thanks again,

  Natali
