September 2001
Strom Twenty Eight.
Hello
My, how the colour of our day can swiftly shift. With grey emotional clouds still hanging low over the globe in the light of recent assaults on the globe I just sincerely hope that our future is not tainted by more aggression in response. As I have continued my travels recently it was moving to hear so many personal responses to this incident and present fresh perspectives as each day passes.
I have just returned from Croatia and Zagreb which was amazing and I urge anyone given the chance to get there to perform and play – the emotional rewards are far greater than any financial ones for certain.
Don’t forget any hungry souls out there should order their CDs for the Pizza Surprise! project in Australia as the edition of just 25 will no doubt be gone before you can blink. Mine amongst other finer artworks will be available for home delivery for three weeks on Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 23 October to 7 November 2001. Orders can also be made via:
http://www.pizzasurprise.com.au
or by calling (618) 9445 2780.
And our Sulphur Records Compound CD is freshly out this week in the US of A on October 9th at the fabulously discounted price of $9.98, a perfect chance to spoil yourselves with a compilation of works from the label and a few unreleased specialities.
Any curious souls who missed the extraordinary evening of performances at the Tate Modern London can watch and hear them online soon at their website where they will be archived so you can marvel at the calming shadow of Kim Cascone, the extremely agitated and animated Oval performance and my own irritable performance.

So, to pack my toothbrush and off again.
Keep in touch.
Ciao
Robin
