Talking to the Taxman About Poetry


After two years of talk and false starts, I'm finally getting this project off the ground. Christmas and birthdays are on the horizon and thankfully that's means a new bit of kit I've had my eye on for a few months. Recently had a few conservations with people, especially now that I'm back in Hull, about how I've fallen out of love with popping down to coffee shops with a guitar and being involved in the music scene.

That's not going to change, but I've been wanting to start making field recordings for ages and now I've got a few projects in the pipeline that would work well with them. It's very different to singing Mountain Goats covers down the road to tens of people over Friday night coffees, but it's filling in a sound-making hole that's been bothering me more and more over the past three years.

I made some preliminary test photos today as well. I know how it should sound but not how it should look yet. You can watch this space over on the website which has also got a little blurb explaining what it's all about.
