I’ve had the great fortune over the past few months of getting to know the performer and ethnomusicologist, Ralph Miles Jones. I approached him last October about filming a short profile video for the Oberlin website and in the process of shooting we realized that we had a lot in common. Now, we’re in the studio working on an electroacoustic piece that will be performed in May at Oberlin and in July at CalArts (where Ralph and I will be teaching this summer). More about that piece later. But for now, check out this video which I’ve decided should be called: THE MAN, THE LEGEND.
