Had second thoughts about the Rushdie sketch. But then I read it.
Fairly sure that if I was to do this in the future I can do better.
Interesting looking at a fairly complex score for orchestra and seeing how you could turn it into a piece that might actually work (still complex, but currently I don't think that the string parts are realistic at all). Discovered some pre-comp but not enough to make it work. Might have to be completely rewritten if I go back to it.
Interesting(?) title: Triquetrae Triquetrarum.

Were you planning on taking a single story out of it, or setting certain key scenes, or? |

I've just found a sketch of how to turn The Satanic Verses into an opera...
Weird. That's going straight into the recycling box.
Had The Satanic Verses starred two gay cowboys, you'd be in business. |

That's where I've been going wrong! |

Cripes, there's a sentence up there which is crying out for an ambiguity-removing comma before the 'and', much though that be frowned upon in some circles...  |

In the light of that comment, Ollie, I'm finding it hard not to be very, very disturbed by the question 'You do have a cat, don't you?' |

The city is a process which always veers away from the form envisaged and desired, ... whose revenge upon its architects and planners undoes every dream of mastery. It is [also] one of the sites where Dasein is assigned the impossible task of putting right what can never be put right. - Rob Lapsley

 Stop this at once, Mr S! One more remark like that and you're for a taste of the cat.

Hah. I used to have that picture as a background wallpaper (cycling with others) for a while. |
