..hmm.. i personally enjoy visuals of the epileptic fit 
inducing variety.. however minimal lighting often 
emphasises the audiofeed moreso (still amazed at how 
much light the apple at the back of a powerbook can 
provide) i've enjoyed many concerts eyes closed on the 
floor\  
   .i would however, be interested to know if any of 
the err "micro-musicians" on the list work with 
synchronised video or imaging... this is something i am 
becoming more interested in exploring> and due to the 
nature of the audio output, synced visuals to 
improvised performances would seem more complementry 
than say the coldcut experiments\
     .on a similar note.. was thouroughly impressed by 
the videoclip to fennesz's traxdata.. and oval's 
textuell.. was wondering what other films / 
videoclips / m.media have stunned others.. and due to 
geographical isolation, where it may be possible to 
see / purchase such items online\
