of new music.

American Indians.

features the artistry of Stuart Diamond performing on the Lyricon
Wind Synthesizer, Karen Bentley on the Violin and Don Slepian performing keyboards.

performances are truly "live", without the use of any computer sequencing
or multi tracking techniques. The results are performances of immediacy, power
and authentic feeling.

music appeals to a tremendous range of audiences, receiving standing ovations
at such
venues as Steinway Hall, the Academy of the Arts in Philadelphia, M.I.T. and
New York's Federal Hall, as well
