Suzanne: Initially Paul and I started working together, about six or seven years ago. We started mixing animation and story telling, then we met Iris when she was performing on the radio on a sort of experimental music program. Paul heard it and got in touch, we swapped a CD of poetry for some pictures, and then we started working together and mixing what we do.
