late last night horsemouth started reading mardi by herman melville (and very good it is too), kind of like a south seas set moby dick (but without the whale, just lashings of melville’s insane prose). sir thomas browne even gets a mention (as a failed debunked of spurious beasts).
horsemouth also began to think about possible future mixes - the hurdy gurdy from lost hearts, the sound of a whistle stole from a grave in whistle and I’ll come to you (you see he’s been watching a lot of those BBC a christmas ghost stor(y)ies, the penderecki inspired opening title music from children of the stones by sidney sager,
another possible piece of music (if it could be found) would be the theme from the treasure of abbot thomas - written by soon-to-be-feted soundtrack composer geoffrey burgon (who would later write the themes for life of brian, the dogs of war, tinker, tailor, soldier, spy and brideshead revisited).
composing soundtracks was very much his dayjob. he also wrote church music, including a version of worldes blisse a song of roughly the same age as summer iz y-cumen in that horsemouth has attempted to cover.
outside it is sunny and bright - horsemouth will go for a wander soon.
