Without, the town turned around. Within, hidden music began to play (Track 4 - Previously unreleased). A sweeping curve of sound lead her into a vast submerged cathedral, half fallen, where the rusted shells of abandoned cars lay neatly, as if parked, along the aisles. She looked up at a gargoyle, but didn’t see his goatface, and the book she was carrying fell from her arm.

We had our first ever 'planning' meeting today.
Long overdue.
We have a lot to do to improve the way things run and many procedures to introduce or improve.
Vital if we are going to surive this year intact and get the infrastructure right.
Seems they want me to be in charge!

There is clearly a need for someone to do some management stuff.
It's a bit Heath-Robinson at the moment.
I want a few days off next week.

Write a quote Monday and then disappear for a couple of days into Wife's World. It's a calmer, strengthening place.

I want also to explore that passage I wrote.
Now playing:

Abbatoir Blues by Nick Cave.
Birdsong album of the year, 2004

God rides high in the ordinary sky

Weird.

I get twice as many hits when I don't write for a few days.

Re-purposing film
So I can see re-purposing film happening in a similar way to the way sampling developed and changed music and made a new form of music. Or several new forms of music in fact - Acid House, Hip hop etc.... To such an extent that it’s become integrated into all music. Even heavy metal music uses sampling, for instance, so I think, from now on, film-making’ll get a bit like that and go out into all kinds of other areas. You see it beginning to happen…you see it beginning to happen even on TV where comedy is using clips that are re-voiced and re-edited from existing programme formats and I think the surreal use of it will… be very interesting when people start to use it, not as an artistic medium so much, but as an extension of the media that’s around now. Have fun with it, in other words.
Making new films by cutting up and re-editing existing ones.
There’ll be a hell of a lot of copyright problems, just like there was with sampling music, but eventually everyone will realise that it’s to their own benefit to get involved with that thing.
