Sad news indeed, I hope the hearing loss can be reversed or mitigated in
some way. Get better Gordon!

is blind and deaf, but he still works with autistic kids healing them
with compassionate attention and sound. Fasser is the subject of one of
the most compelling documentaries on sound ( (Garden of Sound -- nel
Giradino die Suoni, which also features Walter Tilgner). The attention
is not on him, but on the effect of his work. Lang Elliott is hearing
impaired and continues to find ways to contribute to an important body
of work through photography, videos and yes, even sound recording using
imaginative technologies to overcome his loss. Others of us have
different kinds of impairment -- certainly as we get older -- but don't
complain and find ways to push past it, writing, teaching, doing
workshops, encouraging others to pick up where we left off. It's not
over til it's over. Nor are these losses tragic (see/hear Beethoven's
9th Symphony) and each of us has to find ways deal with what we're dealt
as best we can and as long as we have the will to live. Next!

of natural sound space without the effects of human noise.
