The sound track is from text-sound composition(s) by me and John Drever +
noises of Goldsmiths' corridors and the coffee shop across the road and
the words of interviews

What may or may not be the same t-s version (Benedict had access to our
recordings -- we made them in that EMS -- and said he could have what he
wanted, but he probably used the quicktime version, which) is at the SUNY
EPC. I can give you the URL when my brain wakes up

It may be that the connection is slow. In which case it'll be slow from
SUNY, I suppose

Maybe set it running and go and mow the lawn or something. Then you should
have a copy in your downloads folder if it ever gets to the end

The visuals are fairly mundane really, functional -- some of my graphics,
of which I am of course inordinately fond, but walking round the college,
drinking coffee, crossing the busy road, and various shots within our
electronic music studios. oh yes and my cluttered office. He was aiming to
meet his tutor's / the course's criteria, not mine or his; but I'm happy
with it
