Things I'm Obsessed With After Our Last Videotaping...

Language - Can't stop thinking about it. And how we want to use multiple languages in the piece - and play around with how they are used and misused and misunderstood. But not only that - what about the world of EXTINCT LANGUAGE? What causes a language to be washed away? Just like the internet and the dot com madness has added so many new words to our vocabulary - what words will wash away in this flood that we are creating? Ah - and Wikipedia lists recently extinguished languages (or they call them "modern" languages).

Rhythm of Global Warming to match the rhythm of our piece?
Is that possible? To take an image like - http://www.actewagl.com.au/education/_lib/images/Sustainability/Sustainability06%20-%20Global%20mean%20surface%20temp.jpg (sorry - can't figure out how to post images directly onto this note) - and have the rhythm of the overall piece happen in relation to this graph?
