Simply I create psychedelically inspired CGI animations, and then manipulate them live and in the studio to produce a fast flowing montage of original imagery, woven with audio. This visual phantasm doesn't narrate in the traditional sense as a film or story, but recurring motifs and vistas closely tied to the music, produce an effect that neither the sound or visuals alone can achieve.

I believe that in regard to this law it's all about what a person does to counter lawbreaking that counts. The major festivals have a published drugs policy and take action against drug use at their festival. Does the same apply with Thimbleberry?

However, it's quite possible this is being used as an excuse to 'get' at Thimbleberry by the authorities. Haven't they had difficulties getting a licence in the past? Perhaps this has been done as an easy way to revoke the licence, because it's a more clear-cut thing than other things that might have been used?
