I would hope so Victor, you are the super-v on this. 
Good show, the both of yo. 

Just getting started, real interesting so far. Nice. 

I've been going to the wrong schools. I need to study with 
you guys, or with my pal Josh Reiss at QMUL. I'm wasting 
away, here in LA. At least i got to hang with Oeyvind at 
AES when he was here in October. Picked up a couple good 
pointers about Csound. 


Thanks guys, 
-Partev
