Today i was introduced to Sean Meehan by Patch from Good Anna. Patch told me he is going to try and put him on in Nottingham which will be interesting but i may miss it as i will have moved back to Barton. Some thing that interested me alot was a piece on his site where he had made handmade paper and embedded a cd inside. I have been making a lot of new material recently. just discovering things and putting it down on tape or minidisc. I finally got my computer fixed so I was able to put the stuff on it and burn a cd-r of 3 tracks that i made this weeks. I put them on a three inch cd-r and made my own paper. I have felt great today because i have been very active. i ripped up newspaper and put it in my wok, i then use my housemates blender and mashed up all the paper. i remember making paper when i was a child, i think i will get some jay clothes and a bamboo blind and do it the way i used to do it. i might embed text into the paper whiles it's setting. like track listings. I thought about making a book with the handmade paper with the cd in it as the cover and maybe stitch it on. the book would be about the songs. i guess they are songs. All i have on my computer is sound recorder and vincent larkin showed me how to extend the record time, thanks vincent. so it suite me fine because everything i do it pretty much straight to tape, mini disc, video camera or straight in on sound recorder. no over dubs or mastering, its not how i hear it when i make it. i'm liking this blog. I'm liking that i have come up with a set of things that document what i'm doing and hopefully people will come across it and be interested. So i guess i will make this book and CD, i think the songs need the book because i' going to write about how i came to make the sounds.
