As I read to you at the AC2004 Jaron's Wikipedia entry starts with Jaron Lanier is an artist, musician, ...
Last Sunday you got a glimps of his brilliant mind. Come out this Sunday 14th 6pm to the Wheeler Auditorium in Berkely for an earfull of his muscianship. He will be playing with a couple of other excellent musicians.
The evening is called:
The bird of fairy tale.
Classical Persian Composition Meets Innovative Avant-garde Soundscapes Music
It is worth going for alone to hear the different instruments that I have never known existed.
I love music and musical instruments yet besides of indian drums and soprano sax I have never heared (of) any of the intruments he is listing further down. It will be a treat just to hear these.
Here some more notes from Jaron's email:
"The Bird of Fairy Tale"
(Jaron's first interpretive note: This show is a
collaboration with musicians from Iran, so the
language used throughout is "Iranglish.")

FEATURING:
Alan Kushan - Santur (Persian Dulcimer)
<http://www.alankushan.com>www.alankushan.com
(Jaron's interpretive note: Alan is the living
master of this instrument, can play faster than
anyone on anything- like a pitched version of
Zakir, and makes his own instruments, which are
weird large extensions of the usual santoor.)
Mark Deutsch - Bazantar
<http://www.bazantar.com>www.bazantar.com
(Jaron's interpretive note: The Bazantar is
Mark's design; a cross between a standup double
bass and a sitar, with sympathetic strings and
buzzing bridges. Amazing thing.)
