[NetBehaviour] Marc Garrett's 1st Valentines Day experience...

[marc garrett]

Hi Michael,

The music was originally created usung an old pirated copy of very early 
cubase. The actual size of the software fitted onto a floppy disk, which 
shows how old the programme was at the time...

Then and painstakingly talked over the track whilst recording it onto 
another tape recorder - this is proper lo-fi stuff ;-)

Thanks for suggesting remixcomps.com - I'll investigate.

the careful, quite literary, pacing and structure of the text.
 > The music (I love that four note - with the fourth note repeated - 
motif  which dominates the middle section, humourous but also urgent) 
drives it on beautifully.
 > It manages to be both  affecting, touching, but also formally 
engaging so that our immediate emotional response (agonised 
self-identification in my case) doesn't exhaust our responses...
