Dear Friend,

First and foremost I would like to express my gratitude for your faith in my goals, which are extremely personal, yet, I believe to be, invaluable to the world. Everyday I contemplate my purpose on Earth and am consistently met with positive internal & external growth. For this I can thank my friends and supporters who have been, above all, honest and true.

I also want to take this opportunity to fill you in on my progress since “acquisition day.” With your help I have been able to assemble a modest but powerful device that will bring the sounds of Hélas Techne to unsuspecting crowds. It is safe to say the project is a GO.

The months of August and September saw a meticulous process of refinement take place. My materials have been purified to a state as fundamental as I can afford and I am happy to be seeing my experiments producing acceptable results.

Initially I was concerned that with only half of the resources secured, the finer aspects of my work would go unexpressed, rendering a performance ineffective. But after seeing the potential of these first major items, I did a bit of reconfiguring and found a solution that satisfied enough points to produce the kind of show I have been trying to create.

So, suffice it to say, all is going splendidly. I am moving forward, and rehearsing for the first exhibition. At the moment preparations are being made for a solo show that could soon become a three-piece. There are interested parties–the electric cellist as well as a multi-talented female currently on tour with her Atlanta band. Both individuals would fit nicely in the ensemble.

Hope you are enjoying the pleasantly crisp inklings of autumn.

Safe travels.

Best,
Joseph
