It was a hoot talking with you Eric! Your enthusiasm towards and appreciation of the installation was inspiring for future projects.Eric wrote:I spent a nice chunk of time talking with your sound engineer towards the end of the week- he did a simply brilliant job with the sound, and at the perfect "background" volume.
The night before I left for NV I had an EL failure on the Octopus I sculpted for this year so it just lived in camp... but I have plenty of time to troubleshoot for 2012 if everything goes right.oscillator wrote:And Cephalopods.
