This 80-minute radio-opera was created in collaboration with Dinahbird, Caroline Bouissou, Björn Eriksson, Kaffe Matthews, and Gregory Whitehead. Afterward, I joined Jérôme for a wonderful 30-minute performance on my Springboard. Jérôme played lapotop. This programs ran for two hours. Listen here on the Free Radio SAIC archives: http://freeradiosaic.org/radio/archives/125/
