Hey man. I'm in Wellington; you're in Wellington. Wanna jam? Almost finished The Perfumed Garden. The album's like a collection of all the themes, but only a few tracks fully develop them for an opera (such as the saloon scene). There's no electric guitar in the demos, but I want it for the show. - Shipwrecked is going well. All the main songs are written, and about 3/4 of the script. Don seems semi-keen to play piano. My Dak documentaries were fun to make, but I'm keen to make some movies. Filming a trans documentary.
