I was pondering making an ambient recording with 'found' moorland and woodland sounds plus waterfowl and wading birds calls to load onto my iPod for use in the gym (pretentious, moi? I've no idea how I would do it!) and then I set to thinking about Brian Eno and David Byrne. I haven't got the My Life in the Bush of Ghosts album but will buy a copy when I get home. This track sounds as terrifying and fresh as it did when I first heard it
I think it would sound great live. What will you call it? My life in the bushes and on the moors with waterfowl and wading birds.
ReplyDeleteMy life in the bush of ghosts is a brilliant album. I used to have it on vinyl. Did you come by it via Eno or Byrne?
I quite fancy a series of recordings named simply after the area where they were recorded e.g. Round Hill, Farlington, Hellifield Flash or Valley of Desolation
ReplyDeleteI'm very much a student of John Peel and am of an age that grew up listening to punk, reggae, very early hip-hop, African music on his show
