Hey Tony,
I think maybe there is a problem with the file here is a streaming link. Either way I have been doing some listening to French Accordion music and seeing how that might work in addition to the project. I think even just a little bit will set the mood and place.

Thanks,

Check out what you sent me. At the end of your piece are several recent Dylan songs. You didn't send them deliberately?

Hey Tony, I never even thought of Bob Dylan at all I am a fan of his music! I like the idea of including lots little snap shots of different genre's that would have been mixing in Paris with what I do and with the samplings.
Yeah it would be nice to have his playing and input involved.Okay I am looking forward to look at this trailer and writing for it.
Thanks,
Andrew

Andrew, This is BEAUTIFUL but isn't that Bob Dylan? I think your intro is great and the Dylan pieces are great to have in mind as potential score components along with Mary J Blige. The have the right energy and honky tonk quality. I like the squeeze box as an instrument that comes and goes because it appears in so much music around the world from klezmer to tango to cajun. I think Tom Pixton could bring something really interesting to this. It will take some convincing but we've know one another since we were teenagers and I painted the soundboard of the first harpsichord he built so I can at least get his attention.
I am so excited to have some piece of work that has been made for this project! Thank you so much Andrew! FYI, because of some computer and equipment issues (scanning will be easire in NYC), Sebastiano and I are now aiming for Aug 5-9 to get the short piece done.Tony

Hey Tony,
So I wrote something around the concept of Forbidden Life in public and the juxtaposition of public vs private and the meeting of these things.
This piece may seem melancholy because I was thinking about the loneliness of having to conceal your identity in public and how difficult that would be.--001a11c228e2c5927d04e2afd1a1--
I also wrote this piece because I was feeling some inspiration from Raphael 's video.
Hope you enjoy it,
Andrew
