Last night?
Silence.
Well, aside from the traffic, but y’know.

Artist: Jacob Kirkegaard
Album: 4 Rooms
Title: Swimming Pool
This work is a sonic presentation of four deserted rooms inside the ‘Zone of Alienation’ in Chernobyl, Ukraine. Jacob Kirkegaard deliberately picked rooms that once were active meeting points for people: A church in village Krasno, an auditorium, a gymnasium and a swimming pool in Pripyat.
The sound of each room was evoked by sonic time layering: In each room, he recorded 10 minutes of it and then played the recording back into the room, while at the same time recording it again. This process was repeated up to ten times. As the layers got denser, each room slowly began to unfold a drone with various overtones.this is stunning.
This kind of thing is definitely my kind of thing.
What?

Well, I finally went to Oran Mor to complain about the noise, so we’ll see how that goes.
Writing a script for PI 2. Thus far I’ve written almost two pages and it’s got one character, one dead body and two lines of dialogue. If I’m aiming to wrap it up in 8 pages I may have to speed things up a bit…
Anonymous asked: Did this name shouting happen in hyndland?
No, just by Kelvinbridge subway station.
Why do you ask?

Walking home from town this evening and someone shouted “Alan!” from a window across the street. I didn’t think I recognised them but then they shouted it again. So I crossed the road. Then someone said “are you really called Alan?”
I said yes.
They said “No way! We’re just shouting random names!”

I’ve lived next to Oran Mor for over a year now and haven’t ever really been able to hear the music, but three or four weeks back something changed and now at the weekend it’s loud enough to keep me awake. I can even hear it with earplugs in (but quiet enough at least that I can sleep).
I suppose I should go and complain…
“ If you walk into Men in Black 3 believing in God, you will leave an atheist. If you walk into Men in Black 3 a Libertarian, you will emerge as a Socialist. Vegetarians will find themselves gnawing corn dogs in the theater lobby. You will probably cheat on your spouse if you watch this movie, and it won’t be your fault. Because Men in Black 3 erases all sense of logic and sense in the universe, as surely as Agent J’s Neuralizer erases people’s memories. ”
