package from rob lawson in far-off riogordo (new york correspondence school)




'the chronicle is drawing to an end and this seems to be the right place for _________ to confess that he is the narrator..' - albert camus, the plague, part five chapter five (the last chapter). 

horsemouth has enjoyed it a lot. there is a lot he never noticed on previous readings (the masks, the flattening the curve bit). 

top left - robert lawson private music vol.2 (his latest release as yet unavailable online but try here). 

rob says he won't release these online but may remix them.

top right - short note from rob and a world music compilation CD from the arles music festival mostly from the n0 f0rmat record label.

background - quilt made by renate moore of grosmont 2005.

so - are we dealing with mailart here? (the new york correspondance school?)

it's curious, rob's zithers are sounding very kora-ish on these. 

horsemouth is liking the grooves (particularly on rooftops). similarly with paprika is not the only spice (very summer-y and ending in sun ra style cosmic keyboard sprach).

last night moonrise. horsemouth spotted it at about 10pm then remembered it again at 11. 

today horsemouth would rather be at a friend's birthday celebration in the wen. but it would have meant travelling up on saturday, or walking four miles to get a bus on sunday, and in any event coming back on monday missing the first opening up of the abbey as part of his and his mum's stint on the abbey rota. 

possibly zoom beers with howard. 

monday to sunday abbey rota, watering, gardening etc. bbc weather shows a hot week (as hot as 30C). 

monday and thursday milk

wednesday bins (recycling) and egg delivery

thursday bring bins back up the drive
