please pardon horsemouth (he’s a little slow today)

please pardon horsemouth (he’s a little slow today). he was out drinking last night and so today he’s feeling a little fragile (and typing very badly). he’s had his coffee. he’s had his shower. he really has no excuse.

on the positive side horsemouth was up early and has spent the morning learning what he thinks of as the sequencer part on debussy’s pagodes (hopefully transposed correctly to a different key). it arcs up and down (in a 12/8 sort of way). he thinks he has a way of recording it to click by using the habanera like vamp of the first two bars and the offbeat/ onbeat? f-g cluster as a constant.

he’s got a non-standard tuning bflatfdggd than enables him to do this. he's playing it n the resonator at the moment.

he’s worked out a way of playing the sequencer part in two parts (but not yet a way of playing it all at once) and he’s worked out some pseudo-sudanese runs to go with it. that just leaves - well er... quite a bit really.

perhaps he can get it done and recorded  for the next musicians of bremen album
