Vurt I'm putting together a guide to the performances (it seemed to have worked well last time), I'm trying to describe the individual performances, even a genre! can you either describe how your set develops/sounds and if possible some indication of genres (make your own up?). The local BBC will ask me tomorrow what music will be performed I can then roughly describe it, also the video guy may improvise on the night and like you said he can sync up with your ebb and flow!

ooh this is the hard bit, putting it into words without writing an essay

i guess

improvised collages using samples of multiple sound sources from natural sounds to machinery, with tools such as samplers and granular synths to create audio landscapes and (occassional)rhythms.

that be ok?

i will try and get you a better running order to pass to the video guy, at the moment im looking at 5 prepared compositions with themes he could tie in with visuals, just need to finalise it and have a runthrough.

Well, change of plan for me. I think i can make it after all.

I shall book my train ticket soon (although i'll have to get the train about 6/7 in the mornin the next day to get back

I've promised me mum I'd visit her in Belfast soon, with a few stops to make in Blackburn -- so I'm hoping to get the timing right cause this sounds MAJOR HAPPENINGS to me! I won't feel well missing this... It could very well be 'istry in the makin' eh?

Only thing -- my gear is not very portable, other than my guitars... so...

I've got a PCR-1 keyboard though if someone has a spare USB port..

I could train down from Lanc and pick up vurt on the way -- I can be his roadie at least!

Carl has a kaoss pad which you might be able to plug your guitar into if you ask im nicely

And if you have a USB midi thingy I would probably be able to set you up a synth + and a couple of fx on my laptop or something if you want. (so long as my comp can handle it...)
