The two legged coyote or me riding around on a >unicycle?? The entire dream Kathleen. The idea that it was 9pm and 9am is interesting. Being a big "fan" of Quantum Theory... and atom can exist in both places at once so I envision your imagery as such. In fact I ran into an online news article regarding this at abcnews.go.com linked as "Schroedinger's Cat Paradox Studied" and entitled "Quantum Paradox Refined": www.abcnews.go.com/sections/science/DailyNews/quantumparadox000119.html The whole thing about the clouds on the ground was also an interesting imagery. It reminds me of the time I was in Germany visiting Garmish. There is a skiing resort there with one of the highest mountains in Europe. Friends and I went to the top-most resort on a cloudy and rainy day. From the very top we could see the clouds below us and sun shinning gloriously above us. It was such a surreal and spectacular view that I will never forget! On a dream note... in my anticipation of William Orbits new CD release, I dreamt yesterday about buying a William Orbit CD boxset and finding the time to pick up his new released CD (His new work was scheduled to be released January 17th. However, he hasn't released a box set as yet.). Psychically enough, I woke up that same morning to the radio piping one of his older songs and debuting one of his new CD title which was utterly beautiful... a rendition of "Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte - (Maurice Ravel)" His present work are interpretation of the works of "classical" composers. I once mentioned that, in my opinion, William Orbit is the Thomas Dolby of the 90's and present. This new release however now places him in the realm of "Fine Art." The innaccessible Orbit in its finest moment. For some of his critics, his new effort would have redeemed himself from the bowels of Madonna. All the cuts I have heard so far have been outstanding. I just ordered it from Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ts/music-tracks/B000046S1W/ref=pm_dp_ln_m_1/002-7773138-4239453 "Pieces in a Modern Style" Until next time ---stay tune for further dream sequences! :-) "The Power of Dreams" --- TDR >electrix wrote: > >> I am not sure about the luck part...

FAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 20, 2000-- The Interactive Music Xpo makes its Los Angeles Debut October 3 & 4, 2000 at the LA Convention Center After A Triumphant New York Event The nation's largest music and technology conference and exposition announces its west coast debut October 3 & 4, 2000 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The Interactive Music Xpo (IMX) www.imusicxpo.com promises to deliver the west coast an event unlike it has ever seen...a major conference and exposition dedicated to exploring the boundaries of music through technology. IMX was launched in August of 1999 in New York City at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. IMX, in its first showing, truly struck a chord with both the music and technology industries. IMX was attended by nearly 7,000 musicians, artists and executives, representing 43 states and 21 countries; included over 160 participating companies- from Apple, Amazon.com and AT&T's a2b music, to Microsoft, Lucent Technologies and Sonic Foundry, to Yahoo!, KORG USA and Yamaha. IMX also featured 150 artists, visionaries and executives as part of its 34 session conference program, and the event was covered by over 150 media and press. IMX has now set its sights on Los Angeles. "Already considered the music capital of the world, Los Angeles is now coming into its own as a center for new media and technological advances," states Paul Sitar, President & CEO of INSTINCT SERVICES GROUP, INC (ISG) www.instinctsg.com , the producers and management of the IMX event.

IMX will offer all levels of the music and technology industries, from musicians to executives to creators and producers, an opportunity to attend an event designed for and dedicated to their needs, profession and creativity. IMX is proud to be such an event." With the Los Angeles show already eclipsing the size of the New York City event, IMX is shaping up to be an amazing two days. IMX has already secured over 5,000,000 print impressions and backing from major sponsors such as Guitar Player, BASS Player, Keyboard, MIX, Gig, JazzTimes, Electronic Musician, SPIN, VIBE, Blaze, ASCAP, The Recording Academy, The Los Angeles Music Network (LAMN), National Association of Recording Industry Professionals (NARIP), the Recording Industry Sourcebook, Association For Independent Music (AFIM), Digital Media Association (DiMA), and others.
