I was looking to contact you, but your main “contact” page (http://compound-eye.org/rogc/contact) doesn’t seem to work? (no verification code visible, and it won’t let you submit the form) In any case I just wanted to say that I’ve enjoyed your blog/music curating ever since I first heard it some time ago – I’m an American writer/curator/artist currently living in Beijing (Hong Kong for several years before), and one of my personal interests is researching lesser-known music cultures around Asia (like 60s/70s Southeast Asian rock and pop, some Chinese folk, Japanese noise music, etc). I was also helping coordinate some Asian music content for National Geographic TV, and was learning more about Xinjiang/Uyghur music for that. I will actually be going to Xinjiang for the first time in a few weeks. I’m wondering if you’re still around urumqi or elsewhere? I would be curious to hear what you’re working on these days, also if you have any general recommendations on good places to see/check out music and interesting local happenings in and around kashgar, urumqi, etc.
Thanks much and congrats again on your great compilations and blog! cheers- Samantha

This is Paul Gailiunas. I wrote an e-mail to the only address I had and didn’t hear back yet. Trying to get in touch with you regarding the sound for Helen’s film which I am still working on.

Can you email me with a contact email? I imagine you may not have continuous email access in China.

I hope you are well! Paul.
