Field Recordings, Spontaneous Poetry & Random Musical Eruptions...
The Conductor
It’s a drizzly Easter weekend in Old England Town –
would you care to join me for a psilly trip to the kNew Forest?
We’ll begin with the Dawn Chorus and a morning cuppa before I walk you through the wyrd woods to my favourite spot in all the worlds for dinner & peaceful blessings – the next morning we’ll have a pint in the local pub, and feeling vigorously bubbly, publically transport ourselves back to the City.
Along the way we’ll meet Pony, Woodpecker, Scarab, Slug, Fly, Deer, Owl, Oak, Beech, Pine, Lichen, Sphagnum, Spirit – even a pair of fellow humans!
You’ll be overtained by exhuberant verbal eruptions speaking straight to your neurons, soothed by breathey nonsense blessing your brainstem, cleansed by random musics playing up your spine like a xylophone…
You’ll be pleased you came. Eye promise.
Please enter... entrancing... isn't it?
Fingers of Light
Plain Lovely
Dor Beetle
Black Slug
Fugging Famished
Can you see him? (He can see you.)
Sir Real Eyes, at home.
The only thing that saves me from talking to myself sometimes...

What tone bowls are you using? are they handmade or laith spun?
Hey, thanks for your comment – the singing bowl I got at a little hippy shop about 10 years ago for about 30 squid, I don’t know but I would guess it’s lathe spun: it has a spiral groove which suggests some sort of machining to me… I also used my ‘tinkle bars’ – 3 bars of increasing size mounted on a bit of wood, my little rectangular flute, and a cheap thumb piano shaped like a turtle.
I previously heard some of the spoken word part of this as sound files. It stands the test of being listened to again. It’s competent poetry, performed skilfully. The background of natural sounds respond to the spoken words. Here, on this page, the images with words under them add another dimensions.
There were moments in the “performance” that I found most appealling and kynd.
thanKYN yooze Nathan & Bobby!
diggin’!
cheers brutha!
