Terry Horn's account of the day HIO played the Phoenix Project for the first time.
“I got the CD-R of your recording before I left.
I just listened to it last night...didn't want to lose it or break it on the trip.
I am amazed at the music...very innovative and very nice.”
Dennis Gonzalez/Yells At Eels
“Excellent performance by Yells at Eels last night; best show I've heard by Hentai Improvising Orchestra; & very good open score piece by the peripatetic composer Jacob Wick, performing with Terry Horn & Ken Shimamoto of HIO, & North Texas electronic composer/performers Sarah Alexander, Stephen Lucas & Mike Maxwell.”
