The concept of Sonica, a festival that aspires to become a brand, is (as I understand it) of music presented in a visually arresting way – as opposed, by implication, to the dull platform/seated audience/concert dress model we are used to.

You can be well disposed to this idea and still wonder if that is what you are seeing.
At Scotland Street School, Claudia Molitor's Remember Me is "a multimedia opera – in a desk". Her miniaturisation of the form is beautiful, but more a soundtracked performance piece than music with visuals. It has beautiful sonic moments, and a particularly tasty one as well, but it made me think about the fetishistic relationship some women and girls have with stationery more than anything operatic.
