In the past year I lost both of my dogs (one moved 3,000 miles away, one to the great beyond). As of last night, I've dreamt of both of them and got to say goodbye and physically, tangibly romp with them one last time. Here's the last time I saw them together:

I've just heard that the great Austrian composer Peter Ablinger passed away. I first discovered his music at a concert at CalArts around 2003 & I heard this unforgettable piece for flute trio in 12-, 13 & 15-tone equal temperament. RIP to a great artist world-edition.bandcamp.com/track/ohne-t...
