Seattle

Steve Ball with friends Paul O’Rear and Ivan Lee perform in Steve’s studio. The music was amazing! It was a wonderful experience. Steve was an excellent host for a trip that I’ll always remember. 
Steve and his daughter Sophie are my hosts at one of the 85 buildings in Redmond, Seattle. Steve is responsible for sounds and music on Microsoft’s Windows Alta Vista Program. He hired his friend, famed guitarist Robert Fripp of my favourite band King Crimson, to help him out. The modern offices were of average size with nice views of the forested exterior.  There were an incredible number of young people working in these offices, from all over the world – Canada too. They were very personable, bright eyed and eager.
