After his day making anzac loops, Ben walked out into the world and everything sounded loopy. I'm having that too, the 'art of noise' city symphony is in full swing. This morning the garbage men collecting recycling were making clinking music as they drove down the back lane, the thuds of the bins, brakes squeaking and cars whooshing by all sounds like music to me. Had another very productive and exciting day in the studio, with Trevor Brown playing flute, sax and repeater. He made a beautiful composition for me from the men on brooklyn bridge cables: it's in A Phrygian mode with an interpolated fourth, or so he tells me. And the Macintyre bridge is an E Major Pentatonic Scale. I love this!!! Ion also played the score I made for Golden Gate bridge using extended techniques on his cello, twisting drum sticks and cymbals into the strings - totally wild. Now I have hours of material to listen to, filter and compose with. Better get back in there......
