It seems to be the day for getting replies to emails - Gavin Bryars and Daniel Grimley replied last week, but today I've heard first from Daniel Jaffe and, just now, a really touching email from Judith Weir.  :)  :)  :)

In case this may be of interest:

Greetings, composers!

I wanted to let everyone know that my project for next year is launching today. In conjunction with Composer's Voice and their "15 Minutes of Fame" project, I am opening a call entitled "Fifteen Minutes of Meditation and Contemplation", looking for one-minute compositions for the taishogoto, an instrument invented in Japan in the early 20th century. The full details of the call can be found here:

In conjunction with this, I have made a video describing and demonstrating the taishogoto, which can be found at:

Slowly trying to work my way through acquiring permission to quote all sorts of things for the book, and also to reproduce some pictures. It's a HUGE job, and forcing me to rewrite certain bits, when the cost of quoting 20 words seems extortionate and avoidable. But find other ways of saying things isn't necessarily a bad thing.

More to the point, the process has seen me get in an email exchange with Lewis Foreman, the writer of all sorts of cool things including the great Bax biography.

Great, very helpful and very encouraging response to my book from Daniel Grimley today. Really touched to receive it.
