    KENNETH ATCHLEY - 2007


    STATEMENT - I am taking a break from performing for most of 2007 in order to complete the composition of a set of string pieces and to to realize and record a 2 channel audio, laptop arrangement of the fountain installation "turtle."

    The string work is titled 7 stillnesses and plans are to produce the premiere performance in 2008.

    Two performances of turtle will available on limited-release CD in early '08.

    Thanks to those who have requested performances. I will be back on the boards after...a pause.

    Regards,
    KA
