We don't demand performance royalties, we don't make any money, we don't choose some pieces and not others, and we don't exercise editorial control. The best of the big publishing companies are labors of love and economic ventures. We're just a labor of love. Also, we have a garage full of books, scores, records, and CDs. Good question. There are two very different ways in which Frog Peak operates. The first is as a publishing and CD company of its own.

Frog Peak Music is a composers' collective, devoted to the availability of experimental works. Mostly musical, but not entirely. Frog Peak member artists have more or less complete control of which of their works are in Frog Peak, and how they are reproduced. We're interested in innovative, appropriate uses of technology to get works out cheaply, and in staying organizationally small and sustainable.

Call us, email us, or contact us in any way, and send us some examples of your work. Joining is informal, but selective. We are very interested in experimental, innovativeart and music, and we take the considered recommendations of member artists pretty seriously. Also, we like to work with nice, cooperative people, who are as much interested in the benefits to everyone in the collective as they are to their own work. Many Frog Peak artists are invited.

Hundreds. Along with its many single member artists, Frog Peak has taken on the complete remaining inventory of several like-minded projects in American (and elsewhere) experimental independent publishing (for example, Soundings and Lingua Press), as well as distributing nearly complete collections of periodicals like Xenharmonikon, furnitures and Feedback, we include a great many artists who do not have a "single" listing in the catalog.

Around 1982, in the San Francisco Bay Area, along with its "sister" institution, the American Gamelan Institute, which shares administrative resources. Some of its earliest members and cohorts include James Tenney, Anthony Braxton, Lou Harrison, David Rosenboom, David Mahler, Alexis Alrich, Anne LaBerge, Carter Scholz, Chris Mann, Eric Richards, Dan Goode, and a number of others. Practically, not much; philosophically a great deal.

List it in the catalog (print and web), and often announce new members and works over email lists. We don't have enough money to advertise (except occasionally). We send out postcards occasionally to our very large mailing list, usually when we produce a new CD or book. We also have a "new additions" list that we send out regularly, plus we have an extensive press, reviewer, radio and "comp" list, which we use.

Over the years we've learned a lot about clean, cheap, simple (to us, elegant) design, and that's been a motivating factor in what we do. We're interested in clarity and simplicity, consistency, and in doing things in a sustainable fashion. There are a number of very good designers associated with Frog Peak, whose ideas we draw on frequently, and who are involved in various ways in various productions.

Well, we like to think that all the artists, by their commitment and passion, are working for it, and that is pretty much true. Aside from that, we have one half-time, salaried Administrative Director named Paul Schick who does most of the office work, and two directors who are non-salaried and do a lot of work as well.

A weight loss of more than 50 grams makes sensor restoration difficult, and beyond 100 grams, it is virtually impossible. Weight loss is affected by ambient humidity, flow rate, and in certain cases, the type of sensor being used. The sensors work best, and last longer, if they are kept moist. If your sensor is losing more than 50 grams of water per month, add water every two weeks. Please refer to the detailed information provided in our Interfering Gas Data tables.

People often wonder and sometimes ask if they are normal. The difficulty here is that, strange as it may seem, the mental health professions have never established or concurred in a definition of normalcy. There is reasonable though not complete agreement today concerning various abnormal states of mind and behavior - but any discussion of normalcy itself quickly becomes controversial.

Anything, once an artist becomes a member. Our main interest is in experimental stuff, but we don't really have a clear organizational definition of what that means. If stuff is interesting to us, or argued for by one of the active member artists, that's an important factor.

To lots of people, libraries, performers, new music lovers, collectors, distributors, stores, and so on, all over the world. A number of important, major libraries have and maintain nearly complete collections of scores and books carried by Frog Peak. We also take credit cards and institional purchase orders, so just about anyone can order from us.

We have a pretty big website, that we keep up to date. The website contains the main catalog (by medium and by artist), an artist page for every artist (where we list everything of that artist in Frog Peak), a score catalog by instrumentation, some pages for special projects (Frog Peak produced CDs, books, etc.), this FAQ page, and other stuff. Frog Peak accepts credit cards over the web, and has its own domain name (frogpeak.org). Our stuff is carried by Amazon.

Our mentoring program will offer you detailed information on what is considered appropriate in the areas of social, emotional, physical, cognitive and musical progression for children in various age ranges. These guidelines will give you clear information on how your child is going, remembering that all children will vary in the rate at which they acquire skills which is perfectly normal.

A - Once again, those 8,000 years of breeding come into it. Greyhounds are made for two things - hunting and running very, very fast. Therefore they have excellent eyesight (full focus at 1/2 mile) and a body that has eliminated all attributes not needed for speed. One of the unnecessary attributes is fat. Greyhounds have hardly any body fat, and that's the way they're meant to be.

Yes, we make cards for pickup/delivery customers that list their preferences. Some people prefer non-allergenic laundering products, some prefer Downy liquid softener instead of Bounce softener, etcetera. You can describe your preferences when you sign up for service or adjust them at any time by calling 301-928-1965 or e-mailing info@wishywash.com. Customers who drop-off orders at the store just need to describe their preferences to the attendant taking the order .

A PSA value of >4.0 ug/L has often been defined in the literature as abnormal and is frequently used as a cut-point. However, a man's PSA level increases steadily as he ages, and some-not all-urologists advocate the use of age-related "normal" PSA cut-points, rather than using >4 ug/L for all. The table below shows suggested age-specific ranges.

It isn't expected by the Lease company that you will return the car in perfect condition. When you get your lease, they will likely give you some details about what is considered "normal" wear and tear. That could include the following: All equipment should be in good working order If you plan to buy, sell or trade the car in early, there will not be any charges. Charges only apply if you plan to return the car to the Lease company

In one of two ways. You can send us multiple copies, that you make yourself in exactly the way you want, and we will distribute those (until we run out, and ask you for more). Or, preferably, you make one clean master copy (we don't do paste up, editing, parts extraction, etc.) and we keep that on file as a copy master. That's better for us. We never run out, we don't have to store multiple copies, and we are set up to print things on-demand pretty easily.

Any Frog Peak artist can make her own work, and put it in Frog Peak as part of her catalog. We have no say about what that CD looks like, sounds like, etc. When FP artists do CDs on our label, we take a considerable degree of control over production, design, sound, liner notes, etc., in the same way that a more conventional label would.
