Blocks and beats

Here's the platform blocks as they are being pushed about and un-configured in Echo Echo's dance studio.
The dancers and director are working out different stages as they move it about towards the finished configuration. 
The music by Christopher Norby is excellent - very distinct and disparate phases from romantic strings, to drum and bass like ambience - to something like (but better) ozric tentacles to funky bass. Hard, off-beat, jerky, soft and mellow. Nice work.
It will offer a great tension and complement with the hardness of the platform - although the platform is now mellowing with beautiful scratches and scuffs - becoming more alive. Will also be interesting when the lighting is developed.

Production update:
Feel like a car factory bodywork fitter...
About halfway through fitting the dibond surface on the outer sides. Looks great - already the tracing of markings, scratches and smears is beautiful. The colours will need a touch up as trimming the dibond edges to fit scrapes up the paintwork.
Three days til deadline...dan
