The Four Quarters Maintainers arrived at 08.30. Steve Ball gave a generous intro & F&F walked onstage at 10.01. Offstage at 13.33 with 2 intervals.

Interesting factoid from Steve:

The mention to Steve this past Thursday evening en route to TTA: listening to At The End Of Time from Broad Chalke & the thought arising: this says it all; I have nothing to add to this; while noting the widespread unpopularity of Soundscapes, the Broad Chalke lunch performance only one example. Steve referred to his own difficulties presenting Soundscapes to Microsoft people, following the Vista sessions. Now this interesting factoid: in addition to 200 million Vista users with the 4 note splash, an extract from the Soundscapes’ Vista sessions is estimated to strike up 91% of 32 trillion times on the new MS Mail programme this year. So, one of the planet’s least popular music forms will also be the planet’s most sounded in 2008. This has to be some kind of a record.
