4th of July

Thinking about this piece today: 4th of July.  It was clearly a beginning of our Red Desert duo, and not caring one iota if we programmed half-hour pieces.  Rollin Hunt met us in the weird with his excellent video (those are my eyes!).  We performed it at The Stone!!! in maybe 2009?  I really want to do more works with video these days.
