By all means please contact him. I suspected that his work, being more directed
at experimental music with synth's, would not directly relate to the daily life
of piano tuners, even those who angle off in these directions. But he seems like
an interesting fellow, and such fellows often have interesting ideas worth taking
second looks at. One never knows...

His address is as follows for anyone who would like to corespond with him.

As I know as yet very little of these things, I can only express that this
posting provides some of you with something stimulating to chew on for a while.
