Bill Thompson is a composer / sound art maker / musician who I met in Aberdeen and who does T'ai Chi, occasionally studying with myself and Mark. Though I have never been to one of his events yet, as I am always teaching at the same time, I have heard his recordings which are uncategorisable and engrossing, as art should be. Davina just pointed me to his blog which is full of strange beauty, passion and appreciation of the marginal, transient and real. His frustration (and amusement) at those who still ask "Is that music?" made me laugh with recognition about the times I have been asked the same, particularly after performances... But more recently the question is, from those who are convinced of the pre-eminence of their approach:
"Is that T'ai Chi?"

Entries on Bill's blog aren't frequent, but always interesting. I found his post about "listening" to a tree intriguing ....
