To present the 2009 – 2010 program, the Heure Bleue, one of the city’s theater and music organisms has organises an “open market” presentation tomorrow at 18h00. For around 45 min. the public is invited to browse among the theaters chairs where all 36 projects will have their own information display spread out on the ground floor.
Meanwhile on the balcony, yours truly…

It was a long walk from the park Montsouris, up the Ave. René Coty and Boulevard Raspil to the Musée Maillol but nice since the weather was cloudy and not too hot. As a fan of his, I’ve been wanting to go to the Musée Maillol since it opened.
Having not done any homework for this trip I had no idea what to expect and was a bit disappointed at first since the temporary shows occupied maybe 2/3rds of the space, relegating many of Maillol’s smaller studies to be stuck on shelves in glass cabinets on the first floor…

I wanted to write about the Maillol museum and the Kandinsky show that was at the Centre Pompidou, but both seem to defeat my ability to align words in a meaningful way. So for the moment I’m posting a few sketches drawn here and there, mostly for no particular reason besides resting my feet…

Funny how different concerts can have such different atmospheres…
11 day ago we played in Neuchâtel at the port, with the lake right behind us and the occasional boat blaring its horn. I got there early (17h00) hoping to have more time to get the sound adjusted. We though we were playing on a boat but the place turned out to be a small bar “shack” with a terrace and we had to wait until the tables were moved to give us room so it was past 18h30 by the time we were able to start installing our equipment… The usual rush…

So much work to be done at Rattlebrained Designs that I haven’t had much time for blogging or much else lately. Sales are down, blame the economy and my incapacity to be mainstream, but visitors are significantly more numerous than in the past so hope there still is to break through somehow.
Fortunately various musical activities have kept me from rotting completely. The Tonatem Time afternoon with Bill Holden down in Ferney-Voltaire was a lot of fun…

Yesterday E & I spent a couple of hours picking wild strawberries. Unfortunately there weren’t very many to be found so we only managed to pick about 500 grams; half of what we picked last year in about the same time. They’re pretty small, it probably takes between 15 and 25 of them to equal 1 domestic farm grown water filled strawberry but they have so much more taste, almost too much for jam, which nevertheless is what E made with them…

Welllll, it’s unfortunate that the sound is lousy in this video from our last concert…
