"It's with great pleasure I announce that Rebekah Raff will be joining
the Plan B posse effective Monday, replacing the spot vacated by Elias
Angulo who left to pursue other interests.
Rebekah, who studied at CalArts in mid 90s, is an accomplished
harpist and contributor to the esteemed Harry Partch Ensemble. She has performed with Outkast and toured with both Britney Spears and Kanye West. In 2007 she added analog synthesis to her arsenal.
I've had the pleasure, I dare say honor, of working with her for the past year, first with analog synthesis instruction with later efforts focused more in composition. I've pleased to say I've had an effect: She and her boyfriend Andy Kaulkin named their new kitten Mort and their dog Buchla!
As a sidebar here, in the hopes of gaining her approval I have from time to time shown Buchla (she's a gal) my new circuit designs. So far she is unimpressed but I remain hopeful that future efforts will arouse more enthusiasm.
FYI, I recently mentioned this christening to Don Buchla. His comment was striking: "At least I didn't get the cat". No joke!
Anyway, give a greeting to Rebekah. We're pleased to have her wth us.

"Flying Lucust which consists of a four minute de-construction of a single Alice Coltrane harp riff." Did you mean Flying Lotus?
