In the event that anyone is actually reading this, I must say that I am extremely excited at the prospect of moving forward with Slices of the Gradient with a new outlook. The fact is, the photos that inspired the musical thoughts to fall out to paper need only serve that singular purpose. For that, I need no permission. Following that, the possibilities are endless and I am enjoying challenging my imagination to find the best angle for the project. I was a little concerned that the photos, as beautiful as they are, might not hold up to being projected as colossal images. It's hard to tell, as I only have a matrix printer and cannot determine the quality and dpi. Perhaps they would, but perhaps not. Some of the options that are taking shape will surely be an improvement over the original concept. This is how the process works. Just react. :-) Now, beach... --AB
