Program Notes:blue emotion sensor was written for David Skidmore between the 29th of June and the 29th of July, 2008 in Pittsburgh. A copy of the manuscript on blue paper was then handed over to David in Edinburgh, Scotland that August. My task (as with all my work in every area) is to instigate complex relations. The projected next work for David will be red emotion censor for a set of percussion instruments which can, like your cards, all be placed on the table. Roger Zahab
