On Thursday, March 6 there was realtime chat and exchange/critique of Midifiles with composers Anne La Berge in Amsterdam and Richard Tolenaar in Amersfoort. A heavy snowfall in Vermont almost cancelled this event as the server was operating on batteries until power could be restored. Unexpected visits were made by two composers in New York, Laurie Spiegel and Nick Didkovsky.
On Saturday, March 8, realtime chat and philosophical discussions took place with composers Rhys Chatham and Eliane Radigue in Paris. For the first time in years, Rhys and Eliane were joined by Laurie Spiegel, and also in New York, composer Tom Hamilton dived into the 3.5-hour session.
