Daye 108 / Theme From The Big White House

you know i told you
that most of the last album
was recorded whilst we were
in our beds
oh, you didn't know?
well it's was!
we are continuing to record
in this manner
as it makes for a really relaxed atmosphere
and anyway it's snowing outside again
and as brion cannot afford to turn on the heating
recording in bed is the only way to keep warm
in the big white house

we are making lots of noises
and having fun in the process
we have all agreed
not to listen to any other music
for the whole of this month
but i am finding it hard
to cut myself off!
to help me remember
k has stuck a yellow post-it note
to the lid of my laptop
the note says 'no outside influences'

some of us have travelled away from C.o.M.
for the remainder of the winter
(the tft are in wales)
but we are continuing to record via the internet
song-parts disappear into the ether
and then reappear here
in a different form
my job today is to put all of these parts back together
without knowing the original intentions of the others
yeah, sometimes it mightn't work
but you won't hear those bits will ya
not all of 'em anyway
occasionally i might edit a bit of a failed xperiment
into a finished recording
just to be perverse says harin
(a couple of these appear
on 'there was a crack')

this morn hitch emailed me from cerrig-y-drudion
to tell me that today's theme is 'time'
(surprise surprise)
so any song-parts that arrive here today
will have to have the timing messed about with
or 'compromised' as lucy likes to call it
yesterday's theme was 'freeze'
chosen by under-leary
and tomorrow's theme is 'the colour blue'
as chosen by aurora
