THE MIMETIKS

dear all –

some time back (like february of last year) you may remember Kyle and I were working on music for his sister’s senior theatre/dance thesis. well since i’m continually out of phase with such things i… was, uh, out of phase with it. and so i only just found out about the footage of the completed piece being available at googlevideos.

i had to wait one night to post this because, believe it or not, i hadn’t ever seen the finished production. the weekend of the event i think i had to play a gig in like Waubashau, NY or something… so i missed it. but wow. its very hip to see it all come together as it does here.

in the end Kyle and I were working from a rehearsal tape with Emma (Jaster) sort of running through bits of the piece and talking through the bits that weren’t yet certain/choreographed/blocked.

i don’t recall there being any props in the video we saw. it was all imaginary. and i also had no clue what the title meant (its apparently in a different language) but so: without any more nonsense from me. the video. the piece.

ceci n’est pa la lune
