[LJ2ME] Prevention

[hirez]

It seems obvious now, but the nokia and the lomo have given me new ways of seeing things. At least, that's what I think is going on.

So today, while throwing things at random into a black ripstop holdall, which is as close to the action of packing as I can stand to be, I grabbed the minidisc recorder. It was the sort of whim that I only half understand, yet they'll drive my life in interesting directions if I let them. The half I understand was likely driven by exiting the gig of the year half deaf and sweat-soaked. After standing in front of a PA big enough to not only make my hair stand on end, but to blow it back and forth as well, it made sense to have a reason to stand in the middle of nowhere and pay attention to birdsong and natural microsounds.

So that's what I've been doing. I'll post the recordings when we get back.

I like it here. It's not quiet, but... New ways of listening.

I think the Hirez and Jarkman album needs finishing. You even have the cover image.

I, um, do?

What's the furthest you've ever lived from the A40 ?

Where we are now, I'd have thought.

That BEAT POLICE photo. Perhaps you could apply some Lomo-like distortion to it.

Ah. Of course. Yes, that is The Plan. I had this sudden and terrible thought there was some other image I should also be considering. (Well, there is the back of the CD...)
