A melancholy journey into wilderness, a work of illustrated fiction told progressively on a series of signs around the Circle Track, just off Shoebridge Bend, on Hobart's iconic Mount Wellington. A dark, surreal story shaded with green.

Set lists. They're like the hidden hieroglyphics of rock'n'roll. Usually scribbled out quickly just moments before the bands hit stage. Sometimes misspelled, and written in a near code-form that often only makes sense to those in the band. If the band has been together for a while, and knows the songs and each other well, this can be taken to extremes. (Check out Dallas Crane's set list on page 14!)

They're gaffered to the monitor or mike stands, or simply dropped around the stage. Far more than a poster/handbill of the event, or a t-shirt, they are about the moment - the short while that a band is on stage at an exact point in time. An essential item for 30 to 60 minutes, and a forgotten scrap afterwards.

Here's 45 of those moments. Try and decode them. Spot the mistakes. Look for the most repeated words. Remember the moments.
