Future Farm Festival
September 29, 1996

The first day of the festival it was raining just often enough to keep me from setting up my equipment and performing. I was offered space in the pavillion which had the petting zoo. Since I was unsure of how the animals might respond to avant garde computer music, I decided to wait until the next day to perform.

The next day was beautiful, so along with bluegrass bands, folksingers, hamboners, and drummers — computer music filled the air of the festival and probably a good portion of the valley as well.
