I totally had a musical orgasm at the "tse tse tse tse tse tse" bit. Or what sounded like "tse". Thanks, Nico. A huge inspiration and wonder to listen to.

I'm a food writer and have let my musical passions slide the past few years, but I've long been a fan of Steve Reich and Boulez and Henze and Brian Eno and David Bowie and Captain Beefheart and early music, particularly chorales. Your work is beautiful; your blog, a refreshing joy. Thank you. Peace, John Taylor Thank goodness for The New Yorker or I may have never found out about you.

It was refreshing to work with such a talented guy like you here in Niceland. You´re one of the few contemporary composers who inspires my own compositions.
