Text-based experiments at J Studios
I met up with Ben Ardley on Friday 21st to try out something text based improvisations that he had been experimenting with. I forget where he had come across the techniques he wanted to show me, but I think they must have come out of a workshop or two that he attended at Cecil Street Studios (I will update this later, perhaps in a comment).
I have been jamming out some songs over the last week with my old pal Ben Woodward. He has hooked up a gig for us to play at the Grace Darling Hotel on Smith street this coming Saturday which is pretty cool and exciting.
Spare ribs
I reworked an old song from a crappy 4 track recording of a song I wrote years ago.
From a distance
as seen from above
as heard from below
each breath complete
freshly delivered from its syncopated rhythm
my mind drops in
with the splitting of each atom
that eye opening impulse towards a proximity
where this beating heart can repeat its double
i often wonder where this intensity could be matched,
and i think only of star crossed lovers
amidst the chaos,
of a war-time seige.
