I would like to express my deepest gratitude to the entire VSL team for their: vision,courage,musicality,brilliance,perseverance,thoroughness,ingenuity,language skills,patience,understanding, and for putting up with all of us in general.
And to the posters for your Knowledge, encouragement, generosity, sharing of your experiments (special thanks to Beat!!!) your vitality, care, rants/raves/squirms/, victories and triumphs,frustration and failures, and for balancing on that fine line between being artists/technicians. You’re a hell of a group!
Also wanted to leave this lovely quote as inspiration for the year to come:
" The key to the mystery of a great artist.........
that for reasons unknown to him or anyone else,
he will give away his energies and his life just to make sure
that one note follows another inevitably....
The composer, by doing this, leaves us at the finish
with the feeling that something is right in the world,
that something checks throughout,
something that follows it's own laws consistently,
something we can trust,
that will never let us down."
-Leonard Bernstein-
Wishing you all a healthy, happy and creatively fulfilling New Year.
