Somnambule - Writing About Music






Fax ~ Ruido De Fondo

1.

Image of scrubland with trees, blue sky Pylons traverse a golden plain below a vivid blue sky speckled with pale clouds Hot, pale blue sky dappled with hazy clouds

3.

image of futuristic building complex with enclosed pedestrian walkway, mostly silver, a large dome to the left Side view of Stuttgart art gallery designed by James Stirling what looks like the technologised inside of a circus tent or large pink fan

4.

Looks like a blurred stock scientific image, blue background with some kind of diode in the foreground Blue sky with much more white cloud than previous images Obscure orangey image, almost abstract

6.

A small punnet of large tomatoes The edge of some apartments whose facades trace a man-made, but distinctly attractive set of interlocking rhythms against another blue sky.
