In residence at timelab, Ghent with developer Wolfgang Hauptfleisch to begin the design and build and compositional plan for ‘The swamp that was – a bicycle opera from the ground of Ganda.’ We had a meeting tonight with members of the local community to find out how much they might want to contribute. Amazing. 14 people came, all active locally in music, architecture, history, cooking, potent alcoholic brew making, the library, and city council. And yes, everyone keen to get involved. This is what I call collaboration.
