[Slope]

Thank you for the clarification, Skrift

It sounds like a fascinating evening, best wishes to all involved and attending.

It appears as though Dai Fujikura had recently been added as an official contributor to the Punkt Festival:

The acclaimed Japanese composer Dai Fujikura has been commissioned by Punkt to compose material especially for the festival`s David Sylvian curated evening, Friday September 2nd. Fujikura's works will be performed by a quartet comprised of Cecilia Zilliacus (violin), Johanna Persson (viola), Kati Raitinen (cello) and Karin Dornbusch (clarinet).

The evening will feature the following performances:

Baht

Yes, Dai's music is being featured, but he is not able to attend in person (he confirmed on Twitter). I'm very much looking forward to this event.

Punkt have posted details of some presumably official photos. David's in there among them.

A detailed review of Punkt from All About Jazz.

It mentions that Plight & Premonition was recorded, so hopefully there might be a release at some stage.

Still waiting to see or hear some samples. Been regularly checking in on DIME etc but nothing has appeared yet.

Surely there must be some clips of Plight and Premonition - has anybody found anything?

Hi Javier

DavidSylvian.net has put up a stream of the Punkt P&P performance.

Good quality too.

Wow. Just....wow.

Thanks for the link, Blemished.
