‘Delicate Sound’ is a live album. What was the most, or one of the most, impressive qualities of Pink Floyd live? Storm Thorgerson’s answer was that they presented the very best in audiovisual experience, the best in good sound and the best light and film show. The very best in the deft combination of light and sound. A Pink Floyd concert was where Mr. Light meets Mr. Sound.

Mr. Light wears a suit of light bulbs (apres Dali) and Mr. Sound is surrounded by birds (birdsong). The image is photographed on a Bronika 6/7 with wide angle lens using Ektachrome and available daylight. The suit was prepared with numerous eye hooks attached upon which ordinary unlit light bulbs were hung on site. The birds were released from behind the far rock at the moment of shooting. There is minimal retouching. The location is central Spain, not far, surprisingly, from Madrid.’ The live album registered at no.11 on the Billboard chart in December 1988.
