<p style="text-align:left;">Now for the 2008/09 season the same group of creatives has teamed up together again, with equally fantastic results. Moving their inspiration from fluid and blood to speed and fire, &#8220;Black Poem&#8221; takes it&#8217;s momentum from the music of Turkish composer Fazil Say. Organic and elemental, I&#8217;ve never seen text animated quite as effectively, beautifully, and in-flow with pure visuals as with these letters. They&#8217;re smouldering, almost made from embers, and yet so sharp at the same time. It&#8217;s really blowing my mind.</p>
