I once saw a Don Li thread on here. I tried to locate it and resurrect it, but it seems to have been vanquished.
At any rate, I consider Don one of the most important musicians and composers alive. I know some of you are enthusiastic about him too.
Don Li interviews are few and far between. I went "all in" and went all the way to Bern, Switzerland to meet with him and hopefully do his incredible work justice.
His 'minimalist groove' music is a forerunner of Nik Bartsch (who played with him), Sonar (who have played with him too) and countless others.
He's beyond influential, but relatively unknown. Other musicians have carried his ideas forward.

You may also be interested in knowing that Li co-composed "Part 44" with Stephan Thelen for the forthcoming Sonar + David Torn album 'Vortex.'
