I think Sue does the visuals/video.  In recent performances, Josh (Kit 

Clayton) seems to prefer sitting where you'd normally place a sound/pa 

person far out in front of the sound system where it can be heard best.

It makes a lot of sense especially in terms of his live composing (mixing 

and manipulating multitracked cycles/patterns) and really hearing what is 

going on (rather than using monitors).  Plus, I'd imagine it makes any 

connections between their laptops and the video equipment more manageable.

I kind of wish more laptop-based performances were like this, as I'd rather 

the performer had more ideal conditions to hear what they were 

doing/manipulating (and thus do it better) than be on stage, as there isn't 

usually any reason for them to be on stage unless they have brought some 

aspect of their music-making software into a physical interface of some 

kind...
