On London appeared in Danish today—in one of Denmark’s national newspapers Weekendavisen! Unfortunately, it is behind a paywall, so none of you can laugh at the stupid headshot that accompanied the piece, which was taken at 8am the morning after too much red wine the night before. I had to trim about 400 words off the original post and tweak a few things to make it fit for print, but it is essentially the same piece…
It also completely slipped my mind to mention that if you are in the Boston area between now and January, 2006, you can check out an audio tour I wrote for the Museum of Fine Arts, in Boston. The exhibition is called Sounds of the Silk Road, and covers musical instruments from across Asia: Japan, China, Korea, Indonesia, Burma, Thailand, Tibet, India, and Turkey. One of the highlights of the exhibition (apart from the audio tour) is a Javanese gamelan, a traditional Indonesian orchestra, which will be performing every other Wednesday evening between July 13 and December 14, from 7 pm to 9 pm in the exhibition gallery, culminating in a gamelan concert in January 8, 2006. The tour was a lot of fun to write and has some excellent music on it…
