a cassette tape released by artist alan nakagawa in relation to his multi-disciplinary performance group collage ensemble, which had a rotating artist base from 1984 – 2012 (the final work of the group will be an exhibition at the inglewood library main branch in april of 2012. i worked with alan from 1984 to sometime around 1989 as a member of collage ensemble, and i have performed with him and other members numerous times since, including a year or so ago at LACMA.

the kodomo micro-operas were performed in various spaces around los angeles, culminating with a performance at the japan american theater in downtown los angeles and at uc irvine. this cassette was sold at various performances in 1988. i composed the music for a section of the micro-operas called secular, which is my only appearance on the cassette.
