Here is a link to the first essay I contributed for Chez Bushwick’s “Force Majeure” series, as posted on Chez Bushwick’s new blog, Notes On A Vanguard, hosted on Doug Fox’s Great Dance.

It should be pointed out that, while I did not review this performance on Counter Critic, I did jump to its defense when I found that Roslyn Sulcas’ review in The Times fell short of the responsibility of a critic to, at the very least, seriously consider obscure work.

I will write a more in-depth post within the next few days addressing the roles I have found myself assuming in the world of the arts, as a writer, composer and performer. If anyone has questions or thoughts on the matter, please post comments and I will try to address them in my post.

For now, read this post for a brief clarification on the style of writing these essays are intended to exhibit.
