While I am still trying to locate my letter of intent (if there's one—or is it an interview? it's twenty years ago and my memory's fuzzy) for applying to professor Casey Sokol's free improvisation class (free as opposed to say like, Jazz or any particular, specific style of improvisation), I wasn't really aspiring to further develop my performing arts (there never was that spark within my performance, per se; moreover my psyche as a nerve-wreck control freak cannot resolve sudden adverse situations in a calm and controlled manner, and I couldn't be bothered to spend the necessary time to practice. Yes, definitely not because of my tardiness that caused my anxiety..) but was instead visioning improvisation as a tool, something to further my craft at composition. The class experience has shattered what I assumed and was replaced with something much more wonderful, back then of course I haven't realized it just yet, York University regardless of its rather laid-back reputation still retains much of its academic rigour, but my personal development this is the starting point of a shift on my praxis: Improvisation and Composition are peculiarly similar and if one wishes, something that can be morphed into a whole and unified creative endeavour.

Here I will (eventually) post the year-end recording project, there are 4 CD's (hours!) long and many tracks required a new format (and perhaps remastering, too while at it); There's also a thesis-length write-up that is fairly typical of my sorry calibre: confused and obtuse, but hey that's who I am so that's that, I guess. shrugg
