Whilst searching online forY\/Our Music<\/em><\/a>, Salee Art Every’s excellent film about Thai  music, I stumbled across a complete recording of the post-concert question and answer session we did at Museum Siam<\/a> on November 29th 2015, after the premiere of my jitterbug<\/a> <\/em>project. I’m always amazed at the concentrated and extended attention Thai audiences pay at events such as these. The Q&A sessions often last well beyond an hour but as far as I can tell from the English segments, the discussions are always detailed and engaging. Our session was just shy of an hour and was ably compered and translated on-the-fly by AnoThai Nitibhon (one of the University of Edinburgh’s Phd in Composition  graduates, and now Vice President of the Princess Galyani Vadhana Institute of Music<\/a> in Bangkok).<\/p>\n

We all answered a wide range of questions relating to music, art, and South-East Asia. I’ve included some of my responses (and one by Karin Schistek) below. First of all though, here’s a short post-view of the day containing a fair amount of the music, performers, and images of the jitterbug <\/em>performance.<\/em><\/p>\n
