[spectre] follow-up from Riga Syndicate encounter, symposium online

[Andreas Broeckmann]

Dear friends,

Sally-Jane, thank you for forwarding the manuscript of your beautiful 
presentation, to the Spectre list.

In the meantime, the RIXC team have put the video documentation of the 
Deep Europe Symposium online in the programme section of the festival 
website:

https://festival2022.rixc.org/

(What is not recorded here are the meetings that we had before and after 
the symposium sessions, reinstating the Syndicate in a new disguise 
whose form we will yet have to await as it takes shape...)

Best regards,
-a
