Phoenix Set List (so far)

Rough outlines of pieces for Friday night, in running order. 5 Pieces of 10 minutes each. Black screen indicates stop and change to next piece (similar to the Haymarket). Feel free to add to or edit this. Also there is the all-important question of the after-show curry to be addressed....

1. Processed guitar piece. Starts off unaccompanied. Euan and Dave to come in. Glenn to play stuttering guitar drones.
Accompanies scene from The Perfect Human.

2. Conversation piece. To be directed by Euan. Instructions to follow...
Accompanies scene from Ikiru by Kurosawa.

3. E Nose and E Bows. Starts with single note guitar loops from Glenn. Ebows from Frank. Eaun and Dave to enter after 3 minutes or so and take it somewhere dark and unpleasant.
Accompanies scene from The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser by Herzog.

4. Krautrock thing. Euan to play 4/4 beat (Euan says think Barnowl by Caribou: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=fFOeAs9dYq4). Frank on acoustic piano chords. Dave on bass (a modicum of funk required). Glenn on guitar. Will practice this one a bit on Thursday.
Accompanies further scene to be picked by Frank

5. New Layers of Dave. Dave on cello loops unaccompanied to start with. Rest to enter with radios (clean, processed, sampled, whirled round head etc.).
Accompanies scene from Orphee by Cocteau.
