Magnús is visiting Rod because they want to rehearse two parts of a three-voice spoken-word performance to take place in Berlin in September. I hadn’t seen Magnuús since some performances he choreographed at the HafnarHusið in Reykjavík in 2000 or so. Got filled in on the Maastricht, Iceland, and the Jan van Eyck Akademie mafia histories. Interesting!
Preparations commence for the live performance from a script of Magnus’ at Rod’s home in Maastricht 03 May 2008. I insisted on recording the practice, and later made this complex remix: was definitely feeling lucky to be there on the spot for a few days of artistic excess! The performance eventually took place at Galerie Crystal Ball in Berlin.

The weather is splendid. Outrageously nice for this time of year. Not a cloud in the sky since leaving Berlin.
