(dedicated to people who love Batik)
Your poetry leads me on an adventure of searching. I have found recordings of Lise de la Salle and have enjoyed her playing. Very powerful and interpretive. I am amazed at how many new and talented musicians there are. It will take me a while to catch up with them all.
It reminded me of the batik painting which i witnessed during my visit to malaysia...a nice poem with flavours of java.
