'this is a box, a musical box'

it's a grey unhelpful morning while horsemouth has the windows open he's also wearing a jumper.

horsemouth has dedicated a red metal file box he found to music. It now contains all the various lyric sheets, sheet music and scores for various things that horsemouth found in the course of his wanderings (at library sales, in second hand shops and alike).

 

 

 
     

horsemouth has been playing la fille au cheveux de lin a lot (well he stretches out some bits and omits others and plays it on a slide guitar tunes sebastapol maybe he'll rename it in the manner of tomita). he's thinking about making the first thing he records. then there's fanfare for the common mule. satie's gnossienne no.1 is a bit too obvious. over the years he has made many lists of tunes to record (and indeed recorded many of the songs on those lists). there was a piece by messiaen prelude no. 2 'chant d'extase dans un paysage triste' it was very satie-like (and for this reason it works for horsemouth). but first he has to learn to use the recording equipment and to do that he needs to get it set up.

 horsemouth has proposed moving to the hills and growing potatoes, corn and beans.
