Here we are in Lyon, wearing long sleeves for the first time in a month on a cool summer. One might expect to hear accordians playing in the south of France, but the Kodo members were filing the air with melodies played on empty wine glasses at this cobblestone alley restaurant.

Tomorrow night we perform at Les Nuits de Fourviere in an ancient amphitheatre. Touring in the summer is great for getting a lot of fresh air and enjoying all kinds of street performances. I look forward to seeing these new music encounters adding new spice to new compositions to come.
