CONFLUENCE OF INDUS 3 km southeast of Nimmu at Ladakh in Jammu & Kashmir Himachal Border India SunDeepKulluDOTcom 111 WOW
“Confluence” Coordinates: 33°46'19?N 76°50'43?E
This is my faourite shot of the Confluence of Indus and Zanskar Rivers is 3km southeast of Nimmu village at Ladakh, India. The Indus runs through entire Ladakh all along by your side serving as a constant companion and you feel a sense of respect for this stream of water that is the lifeline of the people of Ladakh, especially since Ladakh experiences a rainfall of only 2 to 3 inches throughout the year. A land of endless beauty in the form of dry land with monasteris dotting its landscape and lakes so pure that you can only stand agape in awe, is made more exotic by the Indus, on the banks of which one can spend endless evenings just looking into the vastness of Ladakh and reasonably concluding that it is this virgin nature of the land mostly untouched since decades that has kept the people in this gifted land insulated from the world that we claim to be modern.
Soon my first book on 111 MIRACULOUS WONDERS OF WORLD YOU MUST SEE WHEN U ALIVE will be out with "111 WOW" i Phone application by the end of this year. Updating my official website sundeepkullu.com
With Indus constantly flowing by our side, you do not realise that you had reached Nimu. It was only when the driver pointed out that the grandiosity of the sight that unfolded right before our eyes came to the fore. Right in front of us were the Indus and Zanskar Rivers getting lost into each other as if they had flown all along just for that. From this point on, beyond this Confluence of the two, the stream of water is regarded as the Indus River and the Zanskar does not exist beyond this point.
What amazes you most about this Confluence is the difference in colours of the two rivers. The Zanskar no more remains its muddy self beyond this point and loses its parent nature in the process of becoming a part of the Indus making it a sight worth jotting down in your memory book.
The Indus is bright blue, the Zanskar is muddy. The mighty river Indus originates in Tibet, enters Ladakh region of India, flows through Kashmir & enters Pakistan, where it ends it's journey by emptying into the Arabian sea near Karachi. It has many tributeries, some of which are big rivers themselves. One of the world's oldest civilization, the Indus Valley Civilization, grew up in its valley about 35000 years back.
The Suru and Zangskar valleys form a great trough at the foot of the northern, heavily glaciated flank of the Himalayas, while opposite rise the mountains of the Zanskar range. The Suru River forms the western and northern boundary of the Zanskar range. The Suru, after receiving the combined waters of the Dras and Shingo Rivers a short distance north of Kargil, joins the Indus at Marol in Baltistan, which is now on the Pakistan side of the Line of Control.
The Zanskar River is a north-flowing tributary of the Indus. In its upper reaches, the Zanskar has two main branches. First of these, the Doda, has its source near the Pensi-la (4,400 m) (14,450 ft) mountain-pass and flows south-eastwards along the main Zanskar valley leading towards Padum, the capital of Zanskar. The second branch is formed by two main tributaries known as Kargyag river, with its source near the Shingo La (5,091 m) (16,703 ft), and Tsarap river, with its source near the Baralacha-La. These two rivers unite below the village of Purne to form the Lungnak river (also known as the Lingti or Tsarap). The Lungnak river then flows north-westwards along a narrow gorge towards Zanskar's central valley (known locally as gzhung khor), where it unites with the Doda river to form the main Zanskar river. This river then takes a north-eastern course through the dramatic Zanskar Gorge until it joins the Indus near Nimmu in Ladakh.

I wish that I could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears
That's why I need you to hear
Painting Finished
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
JBAK teamed up once again with good buddies Wurstbande, Blo, and Rylsee to resurface the front of Stattbad Wedding with a beautifully thoughtfull and well executed production. the collaboration was seamless and the variety of styles in this piece is enough to make your mouth water.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
JBAK is a creative partnership between artists/painters James Bullough and Addison Karl. Each artist brings his unique vision and style to their combined body of work. Bullough’s main focus is photo-realism, with attention to ambient and deep space, layers, and geometric forms. He combines contemporary street art techniques and materials with those of realist oil painters, creating pieces of vivid color and masterful detail. Conversely, Addison’s work is produced using a hatch drawing style, which utilizes fine lines and details to create fantastic illustrations of both diminutive and immense images and proportions.
Originally from Baltimore and Seattle, Bullough and Addison currently live and work in Berlin. Though their styles and approaches are different, their shared interests in art and culture and their desires to experiment within the limitlessness of their mediums, brought them together. Their mutual love of travel, urban societies, and the people who inhabit them, led to the development of a more cohesive theme of unity and humanity.
JBAK have blended their contrasting styles into a mashup of antonyms: realism vs. illustrative, expressive vs. precise, hard vs. soft, black vs. a spectrum. The pair seeks desirable locations paying close attention to the space and the people that live and work within it. Their intent is not to disrupt but rather, to integrate their art into the existing environment, creating harmony, balance, and adding life to an otherwise colorless wall. Together, JBAK create large-scale murals, which highlight their differing design aesthetics while at the same time, reaching a common goal—to give people a reason to look up, around, and beyond themselves.

Enjoy your Friday everyone - I am....with sunny weather and good company!
(jinx gets a taste of her own medicine and runs screaming for the hills!)
Anya Jiagu sucks her fingers clean of roast turkey or whatever kind of bird it was and stretches her arms up over her head before she stands up and steps over to the people in the chair things. Looking down at the closest one she gets a grin and pokes at it a bit curiously. She grins when she finds the woven parts of the chairs and actually giggles when she pushes it and it folds a little not quite enough to make it fall over.
Desmonia Atlas: Jinx continues to chew on her jerky, glancing over to the woman. "You high?" She questions.
Beatrix Littlebird slinks over to the group on the chairs. Crouching down, she tries to hide behind the tree stump quietly. Her small hands are held over her mouth so not to giggle.
Anya Jiagu looks up at Fringe when the woman speaks and grins as she stands up straight again, "high? no i'm on the ground same as you, that's a silly question" she laughs and walks around the chair to sit down. When her tukus hits the chair she grins again and rubs the plastic arms a bit. She doesn't seem to notice the person behind the stump as she starts to draw in the dirt with her big toe
Desmonia Atlas: "High. On weed. Doped up. Snorting shit... hallucinagins and psychotropics ya dimwitted munchkin reject." She curls her lip, then rolls her eyes, slumping back into her chair. "Gawd the people coming into this twilight zone lately, Al. I'm tellin' ya. "
Beatrix Littlebird bursts out laughing at hearing the two and slumps out from behind her hiding spot. Her shoulders shake as she falls into a fit of laughter, rolling around on the floor. "She.. she.. called you.. a .a..munchkin..reject!"
Anya Jiagu grins wider and wider as Fringe talks. Pulling one leg up tight to her body she giggles as if being told a great joke. "snorting feces makes you halucinate!? no wonder there's animals kept in pens everywhere here" her grin turns a bit crooked at the insults and she lays her head on her hand rsting on her knee, "now why are you so upset? those animal hide leggings too tight?" she blinks and lifts her head up and around quickly when a voice suddenly comes from the stump to her other side. Grining when she sees the girl she hops up out of the chair and walks over to her quickly leaning in close to look at her hat. "ohhh i like that one! Did you weave it yourself?"
Desmonia Atlas: Her hand comes up and rubs her nose just shaking her head slowly. "Abortion reject." She lowers her hand then simply goes back to eating her doctors.
Desmonia Atlas: (er.. eating her jerky :P )
Beatrix Littlebird grins and nods at the stranger her height. "Yah-huh, I made it. I found some--- Oh my gooodness, your glasses are SO cool. Can I touch them!?" Her hands reach out before the other could answer her and she tries to poke the goggles. She then leans forward and whispers to the short girl, "What's that lady's problem? Maybe she'll feel better if we cheer her up."
Anya Jiagu giggles as her goggles were poked at and adjusts them with a proud grin, "i like them alot thank you" reaches up to tug gently on one of the hanging parts of the hat then glances back to Fringe when the blond whispers to her. Turning back to the blond she shrugs and whispers back, "i'm note sure, but i think it has to do with the bubble she says she has around herself, maybe the air inside is getting bad"
Desmonia Atlas: "I'm stuck in valleygirl hell" She groans, moving to stand up to get some meat and then return to her chair, muttering around pieces of bird. She shakes her head slowly, her crimson and black contact covered eyes closing.
Beatrix Littlebird grins, her head shaking as the ear is pulled. "We just have really cool clothes." She frowns at hearing the one like herself and keeps whispering. "Maybe we should pop the bubble. I can't see it, but I can use my earing as a pin." She fiddles with her ear and takes the chain of of her ear while the other side connects to her mouth. Slowly stepping to the redhead in large steps, she starts poking randomly at the air around her. "Bubble, bubble, where is the bubble.."
Anya Jiagu watches Fringe turn to move back to her chair and makes to follow her trying to get up close before the annoyed woman can sit down. Wether she makes in before that time or not she would then start pokeing a finger into the 'bubble' as if she expected to actually find something and grins at Beatrix when the blond seems to have the same idea.
Desmonia Atlas: Jinx makes it back to her chair, noticing the finger poking at her. Her lip curls. "Gawd ya two are worse than toddlers, Go find a post to fuck yourselves on. Can't ya see I"m eating. " She snorts, and chews on some more of the meat. Grumbling to herself again.
Beatrix Littlebird tilts her head to the side, "Wow, the air really is getting to you, Miss. You're so cranky. One second, we'll help pop the bubble so you feel better." There was a sigh as the poking with the earing and finger doesn't help much. She connects the earing back to her ear and looks to the other little person. "It isn't working. We need a sword to swing at it, like as hard as we can. I know where to find one, I met this guy named Ar'an and I bet he'd have a sword. He just looks like that kinda person."
Anya Jiagu makes shushing sounds as Fringe grumps at them to leave her alone. "the less you try to move around the better, you're going to run out of air in there you know. Bubbles are fun but you have to know how to get back out" she looks up at Beatrix and sighs with a thoughtfull frown her hand coming up to her mouth all thoughtfull like, "hmmm, you maybe right, a sword or a hammer, big hammer"
Desmonia Atlas: "ITS A metaphoric analogy to get ya to get the FUCK away from me ya ingrat!. Fuck, what part of leave me the fucking hell alone and don't touch me fails to get in that single celled ameba of a thing you call a brain. " her arms fly up every which way as she yells in frustration and exhaustion."LEave. ME. Alone. Got it? Do I have to spell it out for you, you stupid little shit?!" She snarls. Yup, definitely on her rag.
Anya Jiagu: ((oh god mental picture of her arms flailing around her and yelling at them XD))
Beatrix Littlebird takes a deep breath as she thinks of Anya's words. "Yes, I'll be right back.." She stops at hearing the redhead's frustration. Her brow knits and she looks to be very worried for a moment as she gives a pause. "What's a meta..metaphoric analogy?" Her eyes wide as it seems her selective hearing stopped at the large words she didn't understand.
Anya Jiagu steps back as Fringe's arms fly out threatening to knock her hat off. her brow knits as she glances from the angry redhead to the blond, "it means she's running out of air! we have to move fast! you get the sword or a hammer and i'll get the bucket!" with that she turns on her dirty bare heel and takes offin the direction of the lake
Desmonia Atlas: "Never mind you're both idiots! " she screams, throwing her plate of food at the dark haired one before turning upon the blond. Shaking a finger and sneering. Her eyes blaze, the pair might note that her eyes were not like the other humans. They were red with black surrounding them. "LEave. ME. Alone. YOu Idiots!" she then would try to abruptly turn upon her heels and try to make for the town.
Beatrix Littlebird was about to run of in search of a large stick to wack against the invisible bubble but wait, the woman was running away! She gasps allowed and starts chasing after her, "C'mon, she's getting away! We need to stop her before she suffocates and dies!" She then yells out to the redhead, "STOP! That is dangerous, we haven't popped the bubble yet!"
Anya Jiagu yelps ducking back at the plate of food bounces off her upraised arms splatting her with bird. Wipeing at her face she starts chaseing the redhead as well. "No don't run you'll lose your air faster!"
Ghandi Kamachi just watched all this silently from out of the way, actually managing to smile slightly at how the scene unfolded. He moved along behind the stage to wait patiently for the three if they kept on coming that way.
Desmonia Atlas: "Leave me alone leave me alone Leave me alone you fucking little imps! There's no fucking bubble! I used it to describe personal space you fucking little idiots! Stop chasing me you little shits! Munchkin abortion rejects on crack!" She flails her arms as she runs... "Help! someone help me! get these freakin' cling on's off me!!!" She runs...
Beatrix Littlebird runs faster as she tries to catch up with the redhead. She doesn't notice the man as her focus was getting the woman safe. "Stop, the lack of air is already getting to you! You need to stop and takes small breaths so you won't die." She gasps out, "C'mon other small person, let's get her!" Her arms reach out as she'd try and grab for the woman if able to get close enough.
Anya Jiagu chases after Jinx trying to grab hold of her arm concern written all over her face, "that's just the lack of air talking please stop running we're trying to save you! if we don't pop the bubble you're going to sufocate!" she too doesn't see the man in the coat intent as she was on trying to grab hold of the redhead's arm
Ghandi Kamachi shook his head and stepped out as they ran up. He lowered his body a little to try and adjust for the obviously issue of physics. He quickly moved up, arms outstretched to try and put himself between the two groups and at least slow them down if not outright catch them. "You two outta stop this."
Desmonia Atlas: Both her arms are snagged by the small women. She struggles screaming. "Let me go!" feeling like a wishbone!. As the man steps forward between them, it gives her just enough leverage to toss herself behind the man, hopefully breaking their grasps on her. "They're high!, they're on something man and they're attacking me!"
Beatrix Littlebird grins as she manages to grab hold of an arm but that didn't last long as the man slides between them. She wacks against his arm, letting go of the limp she captured, and falls on her ass onto the brown grassy ground. "I am not high, my feet or right here on the ground!" She huffs out angrily, "We're just helping her escape the bubble."
Anya Jiagu had just gotten a grip on the redhead's arm when something comes out of nowhere and grabs her around the middle! letting out a 'ooof!' her grip on Fringe's arm slips and lands on the arm that stopped her so she doesn't fall. " hey! what are you doing trying to kill her? she's going to sufocate if we don't pop the bubble!" she tries to get around the tall man intent on grabbing hold of the redhead
Ghandi Kamachi scowled as he struggled with the one still standing. "They're not on anything." He scowled, looking down at the two. "Her 'bubble' isn't a real one. If you stop bothering her, you'll see that she can actually breathe. If she passes out from lack of air, then you can try and help her. But the bubble is magical. Lets her breathe still."
Desmonia Atlas: "Dont' touch me again you dirty little imps from hell!" She shudders, trying to hide behind the man, watching him deal with them. Her lips curved in a snarl. Her hands trying to brush off her arms from where they touched her.
Beatrix Littlebird pushes herself up from the ground. She was about to protest, yet the man said the word 'magical' which shut her up pretty quickly. Wide silver eyes stares at him, "A magic bubble?" She gasps, "I wanna learn to do that. What's the magic bubble for?" She grins widely and looks from Anya to Jinx. "Maybe it makes her crazy. 'Cause I am /not/ an imp. Or from hell. So.. we still gotta pop it, right?"
Anya Jiagu stops trying to get past the man and looks up at him when he says 'magical' and quickly tries to stand up straight brushing at her own clothes, "magic? what's that, can't be real no such thing..." winceing when the blond starts asking about it she quickly tries to step over to whisper to her worridly, "shhh! we're not supposed to remember?"
Ghandi Kamachi rolled his eyes and sighed, shaking his head. "No. That bubble is for her alone. If you try and pop it, then very bad stuff will happen to you. Only attractive men that she likes are allowed to pop her bubble." He blinked a few times and kept running with it. "And part of the 'craziness' is because you're trying to pop it. If it becomes popped when she doesn't want to, that craziness would be unleashed on you."
Desmonia Atlas: Des goes to say another insult to the two women, her mouth halfway open to speak, before she blinks, hearing the man's words and lets her tongue expand her cheek a moment before her mouth closes and her lips press. She gives a small snort almost smirking at the double meanings.
Beatrix Littlebird places a hand over her mouth as she hears Anya's whisper and nods while whispering back. "Oops.." She blinks a few times at the man. "Oh, okay. I don't want bad things to happen to me.."
Anya Jiagu looks back at Ghandi and Desmonia with a wide grin on her face, "no hard feelings right? we didn't know it was like that we won't try to pop her bubble again promise" the double meaning going right over her head as she was more worried about the conciquences of getting caught talking about it. "nice night huh?" she glances over at Beatrix with a slightly nervous crooked grin
Ghandi Kamachi nods sagely and crossed his arms. "Just be glad I was here to stop you from that. Wouldn't like curse words to be used on anyone." He turned back to Des and smiled knowingly. "You have to know what parts are important to people. Are you alright?"
Desmonia Atlas: "Well ain't ya full of double meanin' sweetness and suga plums" She has a slow drawl to her when she ain't screaming like a banshee on crack. Her gaze then looks to the two imps. "Fuckin' tried ta tell ya to leave e the fuck alone, but ya two both share a single half a braincell ya dumb inbred fucks... No hard feelin's mah ass. Fuckin' try and grope me fuckin' try that again I gonna find a way to rip off ya arm and shove it up ya ass so far your fingers come out your eyeballs. " She snarls. Then turns abruptly to the dude, smiling sweetly. "Thanks, every damn thing I dun tell them fucks went in one ear and out the motherfuckin' other. I'll be fine, but fucking hell twilight zone insanity much. Should lock 'em up with the doc."
Beatrix Littlebird scratches the side of her head, "Thank for the help, Mister." Her head tilts back as she lets out a wide yawn, "I think I'm gonna go home. Sleepy.." There was a pause and she gives a sheepish grin to Jinx, "Sorry I almost broke your bubble and had bad things happen." There is a pout as the woman keeps yelling at them and she snorts, "Well maybe we'd listen if you didn't have ugly words." She frowns and waves, adding in with it. "Goodbye everyone that ISN'T mean and yelly."
Anya Jiagu frowns confusedly at the back of Ghandi's head then glances at Beatrix worridly before blinking at the whole angry shpeel Desmonia throes at them with raised brows and her mouth dropped open a little. Once Fringe was done though she'd get a huge grin and look over at Beatrix, "wow, potty mouth on that one huh? oh sleep well! and thank you for trying to help save her, ungreatfull though she is"
Ghandi Kamachi glanced back at the two with a sigh and then turned his attention back to Des. "Well... I suppose so. The twilight's zone is always the oddest. After all, there are things to be afraid of in the dark. It's why we're so intent on lighting things up."
Desmonia Atlas: "Like to stick that little one on one of the spits and see about lighten her up." She grumbles, crossing her arms over her chest. She then rolls her eyes back to the dude. "Anyways... thanks. little freaks were creeping me the fuck out. " Her head then tilts. "I haven't seen you around before. you new to Paha?"
I made this cake well over two years ago and thought it was right time I published it.
This lovely tiger was a character of a storybook, and the thoughtfull Mom sent me a scanned picture of Mr Tiger, so that I could recreateit in three dimensions.
I love storybook inspired cakes!

“Thoughts are always being created, in a sense they are spontaneously arising. But they usually arise as responses from the past. However, thoughts can arise as an unfoldment of the present moment – you might see that your thought is an insight, arising right in the freshness of the moment. The thought is in touch with the very moment. It’s fresh, it’s open. When an insight has formed, when direct perception has a form, it is a thought, but it is a creative, new kind of thought.” - A. Hameed Ali

1987 was a year of meetings. So in trio together with Sonny Sharrock & Broetzmann whom I had started working with in duo in '86, Go No Go. My long collaboration together with Heiner Goebbels had been fading, a last resumee in Live in Victoriaville (1987), and playing there in Canada on his Man in the Elevator project me as an Ersatz for Don Cherry & Tim Berne (both couldn't make it there) together with Heiner, Arto Lindsay, Andre Duchesne, Fred Frith and Chris Cutler. My poetical ecological thoughtfullness from This Earth! (ECM in 1983) had been prolonged by an excursion Notes On Planet Shikasta using words from Doris Lessing together with Maggie Nicols, Phil Minton, Paul Bley and Barre Phillips in Strasbourg's Musica Festival & Frankfurt's Old Opera in 1987. In Switzerland I had met Guenter Mueller together with Phil Minton & extended that work as Aleister And Alice with them both plus Sharrock for the festival in Willisau in 1987. I tried to pin down these diverse memorable events in the catalogue Die Zersplitterung. Since I had been starting in duo with John Zorn in 1986 (Moers festival) I had a loose collection of recordings Atom Sex Kino/Aleister And Alice and wanted to knit them together on record, Plan Eden, on the label Creative Works Records, Switzerland, which I had successfully started working with since '86: Red Art / Anything Goes / Gestalt et Jive.
Plan Eden also contains four duets with Lindsay Cooper (titles by Nietzsche: Es sind meine Tiere! / Hoerstueck fuer Alle und Keinen / Der Geist der Rache / Fuersprache der andenkenden Naehe zum Fernen), recorded in February 1987. Lindsay then so friendly invited me for her upcoming band OH MOSCOW which premiered on the festival Zuerich in October later that year.Meanwhile my trio Gestalt et Jive (lately with Ferdinand Richard / Peter Hollinger) came to an end on the festival in Victoriaville. Post modernism & splittering changes popped up everywhere / hyper reality / the end of history (Jean Baudrillard, whose voice I made a radio play with) / Glasnost / Perestroika... OH MOSCOW in it's words (by singer Sally Potter) reflected the late Cold War era with it's seemingly eternal Iron Curtain between East & West. OH MOSCOW went to perform behind the Iron Curtain in the GDR on East Berlin's Festival des Politischen Lieds (1989 February 15 -16) and performed on many other occasions, also in North America. Lindsay's utopian dream to once perform with her group in the city of Moscow came true after the surprising fall of the wall (1989) - in the year 1991 OH MOSCOW had been short term invited to play on a festival in Moscow. To make it happen, some members who couldn't make it there quickly had to be replaced: Veryan Weston for Elvira Plenar on piano and Chris Cutler for Marilyn Mazur/Charles Hayward on drums. The trip became extremely exhausting in general but so fullfillingly satisfying on the other hand.
From Moscow we went by an over night bus trip to Volgograd to perform there next day on the festival Unidentified Movement. I think we all entered a very strange state, a kind of cultural shock by doing this exquisite time-travel-like tour. A year before in 1990 the Budapest festival had invited me to contribute a new project. It became Trio Trabant A Roma (with Lindsay & Phil) referring also to the former GDR cars Trabant which then freshly had been seen all over (West) Europe now all ways travelling to Rome... When this trio had returned from that trip to Moscow/Volgograd and had performed in Esslingen to record, it still had been in a strange state, as if it had been cut out of time, a State Of Volgograd.
On a personal level at that period of time I also went through a relationship crisis with my then wife, born in Dessau, former GDR. It came to a final split at the end of 1991.
On my way to further the extension to the East before in 1988 I had formed the group Vladimir Estragon (with Phil Minton, Ulrike Haage, FM Einheit), two faces in one, West & East and in 1992 I had an opportunity to be invited by Moscow TV for a portrait of mine which became the short film Balance Action by Sergey Karsaev. This footage trip also had brought me to St.Petersburg where I met Vlad Makarov & Vladimir Tarasov on the festival Open Music. After I decided to form a new group QuasarQuartet in 1992 with Tarasov on drums, Russian pianist Simon Nabatov and Polish bass player Vitold Rek which had been recorded live at the Old Opera in Frankfurt: POPendingEYE. The same year it was the ending of the CCCP/Sowjet Union. In 1993 OH MOSCOW and especially Lindsay Cooper had been honored by an invitation to the London Jazz festival. In 1994 for the documenta archive I gave a performance together with Moscow poet Dmitri Prigov and was invited by Robert Knuth to be a member in the artist group Delikatesy Avantgarde in Gdansk, Poland.
Later in 1999 I had a chance to travel to Moscow again: Peter Kowald, Xu Feng Xia and me played on the Alexander Pushkin festival. There also I met Prigov & Tarasov again. One year before, in 1998, Sally Potter had announced Lindsay's tragic illness which I wasn't aware of until then...
Around 1995 I had beginningly deviated to the Far East by starting working on Han Guk - Korean traditional court songs in a group Golden Circle I had formed for the jazz festival in Frankfurt together with David Murray, Fred Hopkins and Dougie Bowne.
In 2013 I digitalized some video cassettes that I took from the tour in Russia with OH MOSCOW .
In June 2014 it was announced that Henry Cow, Music for Films, News from Babel and OH MOSCOW would all be reforming to play Lindsay Cooper's music at two concerts: one at the Barbican Centre, London on 21 November 2014 as part of the EFG London Jazz Festival; and the other at the Lawrence Batley Theatre, Huddersfield on 22 November 2014 as part of the Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival. A third remembrance concert for Cooper featuring the same line-up above was held in Forlì, Italy on 23 November 2014.
In 2015 I was invited to perform at Dom, Moscow Autumn Jazz Festival, and asked Kazuhisa Uchihashi to join me as a duo.
In 2018 again I was invited to perform at Dom, Moscow Autumn Jazz Festival, and put a quartet Revolver 23 together with Nicola L.Hein, Marcel Daemgen, Jörg Fischer.
I am very thankful to have been a member of OH MOSCOW during the years 1987 to 1993, an important period of changes which had blamed Fukuyama's theory of an "end of history" to be untrue.
