I can't seem to access my FTP page, so I'll just do the update for Barry's site here for now.

April:: a Cruel but Fair Month

Bazzer in the Belfry

In another one of those 'isn't-life-strange?' moments I find myself recently ensconced in
a recording studio underneath the clocktower of Swindon Town Hall trading as a 'Musician
in Residence'. My function is as yet fairly nebulous but it seems will orbit around the
twin poles of inspirational instruction and developing the place as a bona fide recording
studio. Sweet.



I'm using my own justly famous 'On-the-Hoof' mobile studio and the Boro' of Swindon's
studio space. All this takes place under the umbrella of an august body known as 'cre8'
and its bossman Stuart Webb whose mission it is to bring the digital black arts to the
good folks of Swinnners.



So far we recorded King Strut (Paul and Tash Griffith's band) and Martyn came up to put
some drums on new material for the next Shriekback album -yes, that's right, you
encouraged us now we're going to follow you home..



So anyway: I'm looking for interesting projects to do -recording, writing, people who'd
like to learn about making music with machines, what have you. My personal idea is to get
a bit of a Civic Cultural Renaissance going: a bubbling cauldron of creativity seething up
under these ancient rafters.



If anyone wants to propose something or wants a bit of moral/musical guidance please get
in touch on (44) 01793 463228.





UT No More

UT the freeform project with Andy Partridge and Martyn Barker is being mixed as we speak
and the idea is mooted to do an accompanying album of savagely recycled treatments from
the source material by Swindon producer/musicians Stuart Rowe and Merv Carswell.



But -bummer- Andy found out that the name had already been nabbed by a bunch of American
girls in the 80's. So we're nameless again. Ideas?



Song of the Month is a bit late, but it will be worth the wait by God
-mystery guest vocalist.



Contain yourselves, dammit.. all in good time..

Song of the Month: So B's been listening to Transverse City? Didn't know he was a Warren Zevon fan. (Warren's not as well known over here.) I have thought in the past that the two of them would probably get along (I wonder if they ever met).
Poor Warren, such a terrible loss. (Hmm, is B channeling him?)
