Spin me a tale

[imomus]

I'm spending the day on ICE trains, getting from Berlin to Holland, then performing in the evening, wearing funny clothes and making stuff up.



I planned to give Click Opera a holiday today, but at the last minute I thought I'd post this photo and ask you, dear reader, to make stuff up yourself: a short (fifty words or so?) narrative related in some way to the picture.

I won't say anything at this stage about what the photo is, who took it, who's in it, where or why it came about. Think of it as a Rorschach onto which you can project whatever you like -- a rumination, a story about the characters, a joke, a piece of philosophising, a weather forecast, a sci-fi scenario, a haiku, a fashion report. Be creative, be kind, give me something interesting to read when my iPod crackles to life in the Dutch wifi!

Re: Interview with Eno (yet another side note)

[subalpine.livejournal.com]

i've just been thinking about the first eno i ever heard, 'lanzarote' from 'the shutov assembly' played on a late-night radio program, and what an impact the cluster of electr.tones at about 0:07 in the video had on my conceptions of music at the time:


after that, the first eno album i bought was 'apollo', and the overtly sentimental tone of a lot of the playing really took me by surprise (and again now hearing it for the first time in 10+ yrs)


i haven't read the whole quote in context yet, but this guitar players invariably produce more interesting music than synthesizer players idea really strikes me as remarkably off the mark, and especially so in the context of supposedly limiting options..
