Allison Miranda – "Follow Me" (Soundcloud)*

* It's possible that Allison Miranda is not the actual or accurate name of the young woman who recorded and posted "Follow Me," embedded and linked above. Her Soundcloud handle is aliespirituzomg. On YouTube she posts as jhonnbalance. Until 15 minutes ago, I'd never encountered her. But I'm fascinated by this post on her blog, which might be called Shadow Grounds, and which I found by following links from a Jürg Frey clip she posted on YouTube.

all i listened to was Michael Pisaro (Continuum Unbound), Toshiya Tsunoda (Detour with Manfred Werder), Morton Feldman (Two Pianos), and members of the collective Wandelweiser. read works of John Cage (Silence). the most important thing i have read in recent times is this: Time's Underground. became inspired then closed my eyes.

Allison, if you see this, I swear that I'm not a stalker; I really, truly like your piece. (And your "Michael Pisaro Is God" tag, too.)
