The delightful Daphnee Hor from Pernod Ricard UK very kindly invited me along to see Michael Nyman and Motion Trio perform on the final night of the KINOTEKA Polish Film Festival at the Barbican Centre… it took place last night, and was TOTALLY AMAZING!! I have been a huge fan of Michael Nyman’s work for years, and want to say a big thank you to both Daphnee and all the lovely people I met from the Polish Cultural Institute. A great night and a great introduction to Polish cinema… Go discover!!

Salut, David. Do you know anything about his work entitled “Sublime”? When I checked out the website it looked like he meant it as “being at the right place at the right moment”; but traditionally sublime refers to an encounter with great vastness – something overwhelming in both it’s beauty and awfulness (pun there). So, I’m curious how he’s using it.

Meanwhile, also saw there’s a Le Corbusier expo. Too bad I’m not visiting London till July and will miss it, but did Kelli tell you we have a Le Corbusier model chair in our apartment?

I keep waiting for someone to say “David… you are simply sublime”, but sadly no one ever has…

I found the Le Corbusier show a bit of a drag, but we all got really cool goody bags at the opening party so it was worth putting in an appearance.

What kind of models do you get round to use your chair?
