Maybe as well given the northern heat wave and my difficulty sleeping lately, being somewhere in-between sleep and awake at times it is easy to join the dots and make some conceptual link between unrelated tracks and form a narrative of sorts. The structure is intentionally up and down to near silence to simulate that falling away (expressed as well in such a lovely way by the beautiful Lucy track that did not fit in in full sadly). There is also the intentional repetition of small elements like dreams that repeat or that cut back in when least expected as if exerting their own consciousness.
As always, it was made with Adobe Audition with some cut and paste of tracks to make crude collage re-mixes where necessary. One track is actually one of my own field recordings made from the bedroom window of my good friend Frank Cadorna's house in Harlesden, london in 2003 (recorded on mini disc). It features a rather mythical and crude conversation between two locals early one Sunday morning. Thankfully my machine was ready at the time and I only had to hang the mic out the window to catch them mid row. Frightening and funny. It was also a pleasure to pit Flying Saucer Attack (and their wnderful return) with Jeff Mills, probably the first time ever in a mix I imagine, as well as realise that AMP, another Bristol (or ex-Bristol) group are still in business with new music soon.
Enjoy and above all get some good, clean, healthy sleep.
