Excerpt from "Partitions: Cambics Avlive in Sensient Amplules" Bil Smith Composer
We evolved from the activities of a group of composers and performers who are intent on being productive and inventive in the cause of new music.

"Aulophobia & The Circular Time Trap" Bil Smith composer - Excerpt

After more than a century of its evolution, philosophers functioning in a systematic tradition have recently begun to consider its history as an object of philosophical examination. This development, particularly significant in the context of a foundation (and tradition) of inquiry that has often conceived of its own problems as ahistorical, is salutary in that it offers to show what, within the tradition, remains rich and essential for philosophy today.
