So that there are no surprises in our meeting tomorrow, I’m going to suggest that I lead the RD8 delegation around the studio and allow you each to come in with pre-agreed info at opportune times. Jem, can you play them what you have of the soundscape?

Jem Badhuri

I haven’t layered it yet. It’ll sound rubbish. I can talk them through where I’m at.

Jonathan Danners

Good. Ludya, if you can demonstrate the work we’re doing on the components and how time-consuming it is – to explain why we haven’t covered as much of the tunnel wall as they might expect.

Ludya Parak

Sure.

Jonathan Danners

Patrick, can you show them the head?

Jem Badhuri

I should talk about the head. It was my idea.

Patrick Bright

Absolutely. It’s Jem’s baby.

Jonathan Danners

Jem is talking about the soundscape and I want us all to have something meaty to speak about. Pat can say how we’ve left the interior of the head hollow so that, on the day, their electronic guys can integrate the headphone technology ready for guests to experience Jem’s soundscape.

Patrick Bright

Of course. Jem, don’t worry, I’ll tell them it’s your part of the project.

Ludya Parak

We don’t have individual parts of the project. It’s collective. That’s the whole point.

Jonathan Danners

We’ll all support each other. Confidence and enthusiasm go a long way.

Ludya Parak

I’ll have to think of something that I’m confident and enthusiastic about to get me through. I’m joking. See you all tomorrow.

Jem Badhuri

What’s Alyson doing?

Jonathan Danners

Alyson can’t make the visit.

Alyson Lang

I might. I’ll try.
