Dearest producer for short video clip in this page

Thank you very much for putting my music for a dance is called "Apsara Dancing Stone". I composed this composition since 1994 and I did not set up yet with dance. When I hear this composition its makes me feel very happy and want to produce with contemporary dance as soon as possible. Composer Him Sophy

It was such a cool thing to see! I enjoyed seeing you guys on TV playing with the Roots and hearing such a dynamic piece performed on national television! Bravo!

All I can say is, Ryan and Vicky, you guys are super lucky to be able to get funding from Zorn to do your first ever record. I, too, had no prior experience of producing my own recording and had to release my own album fairly recently (except I had to fund it entirely by myself), so I could totally understand how hard it is to put together an album. So bravi, my friends! Looking forward for more!~

Zachary, I was finally able to hear your wonderful music tooday (since I need help with my computer). I am so very proud of you. I hope to be in Carnegie Hall when when your music is played there someday.

As a proud grandparent may I say it has been a treat to see this talent develop. I hope I live long enough to see where it takes him.

The wonderful thing a about Zachary's imagination is its freshness. I've not heard anything like this. This composition really paints an elaborate picture in my own head of the tea party and it's many years since I've read "Alice in Wonderland". Keep it up, Detrick clan! There's a whole trove yet to discover and I'm just glad I be able to bear witness.

It is always a treat to listen to young composers' work and this was exceptional. What a flurry of fun and mystery. True divertimento! I can't wait to see what is next.

Vangelis' custom-built Direct play-and-compose system was built in the 80s. There are videos around demonstrating the rig.

Actually, the first 3:09 of the performance is a completely separate work by composer Ray Lustig. Zachary Detrick's "Divertimento on a Mad Tea Party" begins at 3:10 into the concert video above.

I had the pleasure of hearing a rehearsal of Brownstone the other day and Jakub really took these sounds and ran with them. I felt the influence of nature in the music but Jakub's unique voice really comes through. I hope everyone is as fired up about this as I am!
