Andrew Otwell has collected and documented his practice and performance notes for several years. He has amassed enough material to develop a player's manual. The only constraints at this point are time and energy. The development of a unified method text is a life-long goal of Mr. Otwell. At the present time, there is no forecasted completion date. The Ideology section contains some of the work in progress.
