I am a complete newbie. I'm not even sure this is the right place to write this, but I guess if this is my own user page, I can't do much damage by posting my babble. But I found doing this helps me think and organize my thoughts. I realize this text maybe belongs in "My talk" page, so if anyone out there reads this, feel free to contribute or correct me.

I guess I'll start experimenting with an article about a subject I know well, and that seems a bit outdated: Maya Dunietz. So I guess what I'll do, I'll write the text I wish to add HERE, and see what it looks like. So, here goes:

2010–Present
In 2010 Dunietz recorded several covers as lead singer, including "Can We Kiss" by Calvin Johnson and I'll Be Your Mirror by The Velvet Underground. She also performed with and wrote the string arrangements for "1000", an album released in 2011 by French Hyphy post-punk trio Cheveu.
