"Even with all the build up by Jutta about Optic Rose, I still found them freakin' disturbing."
See, I usually like disturbing where there's a point to it (or some creativity or work beyond 'look at me being spooky'), like I'm a huge Dario Argento fan. That just seemed to be disturbing for disturbing's sake (or maybe I'm just too old, or not cool enough). Although, "art" is subjective and all . . .
"I think I was watching them to see what they did next and not actually listening to the music."
You called it music, that's so cute! ;) I know "music" is subjective too, but I just couldn't get into them because there wasn't much use of instruments, good or interesting singing or apparent effort in creating the electronic bits that were played. But, I said I wasn't going to say much about it so I'll bite my tongue now :)
"The theremin like thing in the doll was neat from an engineering perspective, though."
It was definitely cool! On the complete opposite end of the spectrum, at the end of my sappy, sentimental ballet routine (to the song "I hope you dance", in dedication to our old deceased teacher) we're all going to make a star formation (with the people in the back posed higher than those in the front). The house lights will drop, and we're going to each turn on our own light so that the star shows to the audience. The freaky doll light actually gave me some ideas on how to do that inside of some flowered wristlet thing, which is cool I guess! :)
