Re: reverb "rooms"

[Dan <danielalbertini72@yahoo.com>]

Man almighty do I know what you mean!!!  I was reminded of a live video I 
did in the war memorial
here in Pittsburg Kansas. ( I plan on posting it as soon as I can figure 
out all the computer
issues to do it?) I played a spontaneous "test" inside a couple of huge 
walkthrough concrete
cylinders.  This prompted me to get my photographer/videographer and 
capture a little more sonic
phenomena!!!  The results were spectacular and I am planning on using this 
for more promotions and
advertising purposes.  I have some raqs sharqi performances with Sahlah 
Suhaylah planned for the
near future as well and it would be amazing to have her dancing in one of 
these natural/unnatural
acoustic settings with me playing.  We are also looking for ethnic 
percussionists and dancers that
can keep up with her intense style/workouts.  She is in Oklahoma 
City/Tulsa areas and we will
probably be traveling quite a bit maybe into Texas and perhaps we can find 
some of my old friends
in Arizona as well?  Where are you located may I ask?  
Happy Christ mas and Merry New Year to all of you loopy people!!!  :o)
Sincerely So Much Love, Daniel T. Albertini
