I am transported through his sonic masterpiece and the incorporations of others voices and sounds...<br /><br />Hauntingly beautiful on every level. Thank Tui for sharing such a gift with the universe.<br /><br />Your video is music in itself, moving art on papers, to create such a vast sense of feeling... I stare at your cover drawings lit by the moon as I listen under the night sky...<br /><br />I could go on and on, but I shall stop for now, and simply offer a sincere thank you to both of you really...<br /><br />Warmly, Vanessa Valenciaa fanciful twisthttp://afancifultwist.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-21749419050922702372009-08-06T19:41:01.122+01:002009-08-06T19:41:01.122+01:00Well done to you both, sincerely.

At times the softer side of Bjork and maybe faintly reminicent of some of Radiohead's work on Kid A, but at all times unique and original. I have purchased the CD from Cargo Records and am listening to it here while I type this note. Wonderful! And you Rima have such talant for words and pictures. It surely is a funny old world where talent like both of yours exists with such grace and beauty in relative obscurity and scant financial reward when a lot of the famous rich people in the world flaunt themselves around with very little talent or skill to warrant their status. Love your wonderful wooden wagon by the way. I am very impressed!<br /><br />BenThe Captainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09835180886266634097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-15720694224777357442009-08-02T06:24:00.027+01:002009-08-02T06:24:00.027+01:00Wow, love your little video about the fish and the...Wow, love your little video about the fish and the doll.

And I am richer these last two years for finding this little peephole into it.<br /><br />I am heartened. I am reassured. I am soothed. <br /><br />For the world to have two like you, can only mean the sun is a little brighter, the green a little greener, and the air a little sweeter.<br /><br />And all the more because you share it so generously.<br /><br />Thank you. From my heart. <br />C xCiara Brehonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10583812950426579762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6810156851531185584.post-8499919167213154972009-07-30T17:09:48.201+01:002009-07-30T17:09:48.201+01:00That top picture could have been the cover to Slee...That top picture could have been the cover to Sleepy Hollow.

Your horsebox house on wheels is magnificent as was the attic you left just last December. Unfortunately the music and video didn't download properly to my old favorite computer so I'll have to come back later with the newer one.<br />Essentially, I'm still British even though I've spent most of my life in Canada and the US. I'm also an artist whose main early influences were the 19th century illustrators. I once had to be dragged out of a rare exhibition of Edmund Dulac's original paintings. <br />Your work is wonderful as is your vision - both of you. I will return.susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16747450215034568033noreply@blogger.com
