In her posthumous Netflix episode Famous Last Words, Jane Goodall reflects on life, hope, and humanity’s duty to heal the planet.

As part of my series of hour-long performances that consist of a single tone, I set up a service where if you call (858) 346-5851, you can hear an hour-long audio file that contains a tone only during the last second, after which it will hang up.

Here is a link to send a letter to UC Regents, Governor Newsom, and to UC President Milliken, urging them to resist the extortion of the federal government... to seek legal recourse, provide interim research funding sources, and refuse any settlement.

All these tracks are free, but I have a donation button on the website. If like 100000 of you would each donate $10 it would be awesome

I feel I'm so close to a Met Opera commission

A website that systematically goes through all the combinations of start and end times (measured in seconds) within an hour, based on the number of visitors to the site.
I'll sustain a note between the times, wherever the page ends up, this Friday afternoon.
