11.29

DGM HQ.

Just e-mailed to the DGM team:

david & i are working here completing love cannot bear (the re-titled affirmations soundscapes album). hugh will have the artwork ready by the end of next week & i'll finalise the mastering with simon heyworth on dartmoor (along with exposure) before leaving for soundscape touring in the US. that will leave hugh with the exposure sleeve to complete. exposure will be 2 CDs: added to Vol.2 of the KC 21st. Century Guide, these are 3 significant releases.

what publicity & interviews, if any, would you like me to do - if the world were perfect? this always comes with a price, generally born mostly by myself in terms of preferring death to continued living & an increase in loathing for my professional life. in time, this will affect you also.

11.28 Into SoundWorld II, for the continuing Morning Shift with David, carrying tranquillity tea for both of us. After yesterday, we both need it.

David has been back to the original DAT long-form of On My Mother's Birthday (as G4 in St. Petersburg, Florida on October 14th. 1997) and has returned to where we were -- but knowing it as if for the first time, as the poet declared.

15.12 The Afternoon Shift: David is heroically addressing digital frizzing on an NY SEC Soundscape.

17.49 Running in the mastered tracks. Some more work to be done, but this is a significant move forward. David may or may not be dribbling, but that looks like froth around his mouth.

AOL has crashed everytime I have attempted to open the mailbox today. Going to AOL>UK homepage does the same, with circle-jerks and never opening. Interesting: there are all manner of e-mail contacts to AOL for advertising, media etc., but not for complaints. The AOL complaints procedure has to be done in writing. I wonder why that might be.

18.19 Requiem -- Affirming (from the WFC), the final track on Love Cannot Bear, is running in.

Shortly, off to Bredonborough.
