This interview with curator Raffy Espiritu was recorded during the early public exhibition of The Singer’s Tears. It reflects the work as it was understood at that moment — before later developments, extensions, and reinterpretations.
I am preserving it here as a contemporaneous record of the painting’s initial public framing.

Wow this was a fun Program. Thank you Stanford Jazz for a great experience and awesome education:).
Wow I had lost track of these photos! You know how when you move you find things buried in your stacks of books that you had completely lost track of - need to get back to this project! Back in 2010 I had the honor of interviewing Max Matthews and John Chowning, the inventors of Computer Music, the patent of which was sold to Yamaha - was the most lucrative patent up until Google:) - and has provided the funding for Stanford's Center for Computer Research and Acoustics (CCRMA) ever since! There's a lot of inspiration in those tapes - need to find and release them!
Need to get back to this project!
