experiment nine - an oldie, but a favourite.
“fuck was i” by jenny owens young.
(the song that’s been stuck in my head since seeing her perform last thursday, supporting regina spektor.)

slava’s snowshow, doodled at charles de gaulle airport, waiting for my flight home to newcastle.

i really loved seeing the eiffel tower from a distance. up close, with so many people milling around, pushing in queues & generally being gaudy, i much preferred sauntering along a little path with diana seeing the tower sticking out over the bushes. i took this photo feeling happy to be an adventurer.
and then i had a bit of fun with it… i like to call this ‘an eyeful of eiffel’

I’m an awkward mess when it comes to compliments and when given a choice I prefer them to be visual. I believe that one of the most flattering compliments anyone can give you is when they put to work the inspiration you have given them to work. That is how art is created. Art is one huge banging remix of inspiration.
Ara from hitrecord took one of my pieces and text from another hitrecorder [Metaphorest] and created something of her own with it. Honestly the best form of payment I could ever receive.

Things I love about this picture:
1) I love it as it is, completely unedited.
2) The colours of the carousel.
3) The couple oblivious to everything around them.
4) The teddy bear strapped to balloons stuck in the tree.
5) The fact that I was at Montmartre, Paris when I took it two days ago. (le sigh!)

i’m having a paris hangover today. grumpy & sore & wishing i was back in the snowy wonder, seeing the sparkly lights of the tower & watching ana pour over the map as we sip hot chocolate…

Lula, these remind me of your “la tulipe noire” pictures: next stop a painty teacup?
The REGULARITY ~ 5 december 2009
hitRECord.org
This week, I talked about the continuing collaboration known as the Desk Drum Circle. I also had a thing or two to say about writing. Well, since I’m writing this description, second things first.
WRITING. There’s a lot of good writing on hitRECord. Now here’s how I’d like to take it a step further. I’d like to see more writing that is written and released here with the intention of becoming something more. Write something that’s meant to be read aloud. Write a script that’s meant to be acted out or animated. Write lyrics that are meant to be sung or recited.
Here’s some more specific suggestions:
Write some words intended to be spoken/sung/rapped/recited along with the Desk Drum Circle.
Write something about Sundance.
Write a script for a comedy sketch.
Write a script for any sort of short form media piece.
Or, for those who don’t want to write…
Try the reverse. Find a piece of writing on hitRECord that you like, and reRECord it into something new. Turn it into a video, or a song, or a speech, or a drawing, or a photo, etc. Use a piece of writing as a Resource, and Release that new Result.
Alright go!
I love how the Desk Drum Circle is coming along. Everyone’s contributions are awesome! In the video, I highlighted some that I found particularly remarkable. Now, what this collaboration really needs at this point is this…
CALLING ALL MUSIC EDITORS!
We need you (and I’ll do some too this week) to go through these various resources and chop them down to the good bits. Every contribution has some parts that are on rhythm and some parts that are off rhythm. If we can just sample those on-rhythm bits, and put them all together, looped onto a grid of 120 BPM, we will end up with one hell of a tight beat.
That should do it for this week.
Thanks…
J
