Special thanks to Gregor Zilinsky and Sennheiser Electronic (for the use of their fabulous MKH 800 microphones). Special thanks from Fred Frith to Ad van t'Veer, Marita Emigholz, and Jean-Pierre Brossmann (for having faith), Amanda Miller and Violet Wires (for bringing Lelekovice to life as the dance piece My Father's Vertigo), Patrice Scanlon and Les Stuck (for cheerful technical assistance), and to my first music teacher, Rodney Mayes, for his enthusiastic encouragement to produce »nice notes«.
