[xmca] Is there something about/from the musician Volochinov?

Greetings for all,

One more operational question to you:
Is there some wrote production about/
from the musician Volochinov related to
music itself, semiotics of music and so
on?

There are some musicians in Brazil at
Unicamp interested in understand musical
genres aided by bakhtinian theoretical
framework, and I had the notice that
Volochinov was the musician of Bakhtin's
Circle...

Can you confirm this information to me
and give me some biographical suggestions?

Best wishes
Thank you very much, one more time.
Achilles...

These are always people who are doing good work and have something that needs to be heard. Andy's right, Mike does the job of picking up the new voices. It's something we should each make an effort to do.
