the chicken or the egg (again)

for the artwork, i think the latter option of you starting and then me critiquing/adding would be best. as to specific aesthetics, i don't really know. i think that with music and visuals, the associations normally come once the relationship has been forced into existence. so i think that any starting point is fine. the title is fairly evocative so could be a guiding factor.

dust went well at the vic on the park and is definitely a good vocal for cell. i'd be happy to play it. smells like rain actually went down very well there as well, hence my keen-ness to do it again, particularly if we can practise some harmonies.

my thoughts for the projected stuff would not be that they are actual images to concentrate on, but rather ambience that replaces flashing or still lights. especially in the sound lounge where the walls are red and black and the stage relatively large. they would just have the effect of colouring the stage with enough light to make us out, but have an atmosphere that you don't get with stage lighting that has not been designed specifically for us. when i look at the photos with carlos at the cat and fiddle, the whiteness just kills any atmosphere. so i wouldn't see it as a clash, because i'm not thinking of the images as actually being on a screen or anything for the audience to focus on, rather as a wash for as much of the space as possible.

printed up some flyers - just palm sized. i'll bring some for you.
