15th Floor

The 15th floor of my office building has only three inhabitants that I have ever seen.

Two very tall, and from what I can gather from my limited German, very very sexually liberated young German women, and a small troll of a man who always is muttering at the elevator control panel. I am fairly certain this man will kill me using only a pocket knife and coffee stirrer if I am left alone in the elevator with him.

The 15th floor of my office building also smells strongly of donuts.

That's all.....no quips, no insights, no flowery language, I just want to know what the fuck they are doing down there.

Oh, and I have a gig tonight:

MUSIC FOR AN IMAGINARY BAND

Music for an IMAGINARY BAND, led by composer-pianist Gordon Beeferman, is a (real) 7-piece group comprised of some of New York's most uniquely creative musicians. The band explores the territory where classical 'new-music,' jazz and free improvisation intersect. Beeferman's compositions range from the gnarly to the operatic, and are both incredibly detailed and very free; the band's intensive improvisational explorations are tethered to highly structured frameworks. The music spans varieties of melody, rhythm, and sound.
