Once I was standing on my friends bed with a video camera preparing to film a scene, when suddenly a quiet moment from "Orbvs Terrarvm" came wafting in through the nearby bathroom door. I clearly recognized the sounds and began to go on working, enjoying the unexpected musical accompaniment. Yet the more I thought about it, the less sense it made. Why would this non-idmish listening friend borrow my Orb cd without mentioning it to me, and further, why play it in the bathroom? Doesn't it have enough reverb already? Eventually I realized it was the toilet itself producing the little watery noises, as it went through its self-cleaning cycle and the water trickled through the inner workings of the white ceramic structure. .......................^ / ) )ravo/op paul roquet www.mother.com/~bravopop icq sixteen fifteen ninety-one five .......................^ "Dancingiseverything," continued the Sheep Man.
