I made a video series with @secondzeit. It's about what happened to Christchurch after the quakes started ten years ago this week. It might surprise you. Watch all seven episodes here: interactives.stuff.co.nz/2020/08/munted/

@secondzeit @OliverLewis @SikotiHamiltonR Third member of the DDLBC checking in. When is our next meeting? Agree with Oliver about Libra and Underworld. I also really enjoyed his most recent one - The Silence. Has stayed with me. He still has the unsettling knack for capturing an obscure spirit of the moment.

@fastercamels The Piano came out in 1993 though.
