To whom it may concern:

I write in regard to the withdrawal of funding the London Musician´s
Collective.

I am video- and soundartist from Vienna/Austria. I have released 15 cds
and dvds on several international labels, my films are distributed by
the internationally wellknown distributor for experimental film,
'sixpackfilm'. I started my artistic career around 2000 and was invited
to the excellent 'Feedback: Order from Noise' Tour 2004, organised by
the great people of LMC. This tour had a very deep impact on my further
artistic development and was very important for my international career.
I had the possibility to work together with great pioneers of Feedback
Art like Alvin Lucier, Otomo Yoshihide and Nicolas Collins. Since this
LMC Tour I am working together with Toshimaru Nakamura (project name
AVVA, DVD release on 'erstwhile records' Oct 2006). Meanwhile AVVA has
been touring Japan, Korea, Italy, Czech Republic, Austria, Poland and UK.

I was also part of the LMC Festival 2007 - just a few weeks ago. For me
it was one of the best Festivals of 2007 and again I had only great
experiences with the organizers of the Festival. Everything was so well
organised, the technician was excellent.

The LMC is a unique institution, not only unique in UK, but in Europe
and indeed the world. For decades the LMC hosted the most diverse
collection of musical pioneers imaginable: musicians from all over the
world, from the internationally celebrated to the completely unknown.

I urge you to do whatever is within your power to ensure that the
cultural treasure which the London Musician´s Collective continues to
offer the extraordinary and unique services that the audience and
invited artists have enjoyed from it over these many years.
