I have been
trying to get a good title and decided yesterday on;

"Intermittent motion from two cams arranged as an 'AND' gate".

this avoids any mention of the dummy scene but has the virtue of
describing the mechanism that makes the fifth dummy from the left look at his watch every so often. I was going to give them different things to hold, the names of all of them challenging to the
ventriloquist; eg. beach ball, poppadom, marmalade, pineapple but went for seven traditional bottles of beer (labelled "beautiful beer bottled by british brewers"). they are a bit like the bottles of bass in manet's ' bar of the folies bergere', which was painted ten years before the invention of the crown cap- hence the corks (but really I think they would have had hard rubber stoppers).

As I suspected it has a tree, a pan and a trepanning.
It's called Strasbourg because of Tomi Ungerer.
Note the keyhole.
That's because it's made of Muriel’s drawers.
It may be a while before I send pictures of owl,
lady holding her knees after Aristide Maillol
and goblin's shoes doing the twist. I might
call it Barcelona.”

"it's a bit more of an effort that i'd planned but this is the kind of thing i'm doing. the woman swirls about as if she's going to stab herself, the piano plays itself and the clown squeezes his accordian. the chap at the back does nothing but wonder why he makes this stuff.
i'm thinking of doing the next one using a tiny theatre, a pregnant woman and something else. "musical hell" is a h. bosch title."
