What characteristics might distinguish a *first person present tense*

And they did some performances together on the occasion of the
re-release of the album by Table of the Elements in 1993 (and again 10
and 20 years after that); they also toured together in 1994-95 (playing
separately, with Tony backed by members of Gastr del Sol). Either of
those configurations might be the one referred to here.

But yeah, Tony's at least nominally on this list (unless he's given it
up) so hopefully he can respond here for himself.

Yes, the original soundtrack for Office Baroque was by André Stordeur.

Mark T. beat me to Akran. Intense and on youtube.

Derek Jarman's "In the Shadow of the Sun", by Throbbing Gristle. (2
versions)

Several films by Michel Chion, one in collaboration with Laurie Spiegel.
(Only the first is on youtube)

Bernard Parmegiani's "L'ecran transparent". (on vimeo)

FWIW my "Steve Reich for Two Projectors" was based on "Come Out". It is
silent, tho ;-).
