more life (and equal recognition)

'... that the dead deserved more life and equal recognition for their lives. ' - judith butler, the compass of mourning, LRB 19th october 2023.

it is the twelfth anniversary of the death of  indian sarangi player and classical vocalist ustad sultan khan. who you will remember playing with pharoah sanders in yesterday's clip. sultan khan worked in the indian film industry too and was a member of tabla beat science with bill laswell and zakir hussain. 

it is also the 70ieth anniversary of the birth of steffen basho-junghans (robbie basho's biggest fan and disciple and fan of japanese poet matsuo basho).  on the 1st of december we have the anniversary of the death of steffen basho-junghans. 

horsemouth was doing various muddy things today. he does hope he's done them well enough. towards the end of the daylight he went down with his mum to lock up the abbey. that's the end of their stint on unlocking/ locking up the abbey until february. 

'the ninth city will endure forever' they say about new delhi. (but can it survive climate change. 

the world gathers this week in dubai for the start of the latest round of climate talks COP 28 - horsemouth is pessimistic. 

the week begins and horsemouth has tasks. horsemouth has two more weeks up in sunny herefordshire then he is back to london for a week. and then he is back to herefordshire for the run to christmas. 

and that's about as far as horsemouth has plans ahead.
