Bristling Alleycats would make a good title for the follow up album!

So Graham can send out copies… there you go people…!

and Richard, thanks for your clarifications also. I didn’t think there were any samples or straight recordings played back on the disc, but I so often get these things wrong, so I am glad you cleared that one up! Nice label by the way, hope it continues on with more good things.

Thanks for the comments Dave.

I have turned the pic up the correct way now! I just cropped the image at the CFYR site and must have got it the wrong way up, sorry about that.

(I must say I preferred it the other way up though!)

thanks for the write-up Richard, appreciate it.

Me and Graham’s cd is on a site for download? If anyone has the site lemme know. I have absolutely no problem with that, me and graham were gonna actually put it up as lossless for download but i mean it’s pretty old. I don’t even have a copy! I can send over aiffs of it to anyone that wants it, desmondbarns@gmail.com

FYI a Gum Print is a Gum Bichromate print, a very old early photographic printing process involving gum arabic, pigments, potassium dichromate, paper, and a negative. Like a more photographic version of screenprinting.

Since you did phrase the playback issue as a direct question, I figure I might as well answer it for you. And it’s “no, there was no playback of pre-recorded material from the laptop.” HOWEVER, I do use the laptop’s internal mic to amplify sounds happening on the keyboard. And the laptop’s inherent audio monitoring latency (made more or less dramatic by how many other processes are running) creates a rather excitingly disorienting effect when other pickups are open as well.

And some trivia FWIW: the “steady clockwork-like sound” is actually closely related to the technique I used on my track for the third IHM comp. Except obviously that this version is amplified in multiple ways and that prior excercise was entirely acoustic.

Yeah, that’s not the site I used-it was that huge http://www.library, cannot recall the name, with accompanying info about each d/l. I took it the artists put it up there.

pretty sure that’s not legal or lossless, to be clear.
