Thanks to everyone who came to see us in Barcelona on 21 January. It was a Topographic Dream for us all. My especial thanks to Michael Cashmore, who played piano on stage for the first time ever in ‘Pomegranate’ and ‘Whilst the Night Rejoices Profound and Still’, and also sang ‘The Signs and the Sighs of Emptiness’ with me. Thanks also to our new Perfect Hallucinatory Vision Violinist Aloma Ruiz Boada, all the Wolves in the Sidereal Zu93, Rosario Rivero for organising it and taking such lovely care of us as always, Victor for all his kind assistance and friendliness, Sergi Pascual and Eva Galdón for being there (and for introducing us to Aloma) and my good friends Nidge Ince, José Pacheco and Selly Zilio for coming… and to all those others we were so happy to have met there… too many names to recount right now. But a belated Happy Birthday too to Carsten Hopf whose birthday it was on the night we appeared.
MYRNINEREST appeared as David Tibet, Michael Cashmore and Aloma Ruiz Boada. Our setlist was as follows—all 11 songs we played were by C93:
