Not feeling very infinite yet

I haven't put the recordings from Sunday onto the computer yet, they sound a wonderfuly terrible quality, recorded on an antique dictaphone on Fletcher Moss. I've made a new instrument which will see its first jam session at the Creative Living Centre tomorrow. I'm quite nervous about it, its times like this I wish I was actually musical, well I'm sure it'll be fun.



That's one of the songs recorded on Wednesday's rehearsal, and here's another



they were made up on the spot, and i think they're pretty good, well shame about the clarinet and the recording quality. but it bodes well for future rehearsals.

NEXT REHEARSAL MEET AT SALUTATION PUB ON CHATHAM ST AT 4.30, then on to interactive arts studio at 5 until 7

thankyou musicians

Another succesful session, thankyou Jonathon, sarah (for some reason it won't let me do capital s), and Brian, for joining in. A pity Louis and Tim couldn't make it, maybe next time. Thankyou Josh for teaching me how to finaly put music on the internet
here it is


it is only an experiment and continuing an idea from a riff I made up and subsequent piece of music about Alison, who is amazing, and visiting her in Germany, which was a wonderful long weekend.

well if we can make it a regular spot infinite tin can band members how about meeting at the salutation pub every wednesday at about 4.30 and then moving on at 5 to wherever we choose to have a musical session? quite convenient because if its a nice day we can go to the motorway roundabout or around the bridges in hulme, or the Interactive arts studio, or the various staircases around, so

EVERY WEDNESDAY, 4.30 SALUTATION PUB ON HIGHER CHATHAM ST

next rehearsal will meet

SUNDAY 25TH FEBRUARY AT THE DIDSBURY PUB (IN DIDSBURY) AT 1:00 PM and then onto Fletcher Moss meadow if its a nice day, if it isn't nice, there's probably more insentive to stay at home or we could battle the families in the Didsbury for a drink.

and bring someone else along each time.

thankyou tin canners

near musical tins

I need musicians!
Hopefully tomorrow (Wednesday 21st) We'll manage a rehearsal in the Interactive Arts studio at Manchester Metropolitan University. Come down to the Salutation pub on Chatham Street at 4.30 if you are interested.
Recently I've been concentrating on making embossed tin cans because my musical abilities are pretty lame and making music by oneself improvising with oneself doesn't have the liveliness I need. Granted I should be making posters and advertising this project and heckling musicians on the street. ok I'll get on with it and do that now.

WEDNESDAY 21ST 4.30 AT SALUTATION PUB ON CHATHAM STREET

if anyone ever looks at this thing.

musical session and the creative living centre

so far so good.
On Sunday we had our first little session with real instruments rather than just tin cans. We sat in a meadow behind Fletcher Moss in Didsbury and three of us did some improvising as the beautiful orange winter sun hung low in the sky. I hope that next time there will be a few more of us.

Today I visited the Creative Living Centre about doing some music therapy volunteering, and hopefully in three weeks time when I start, the members will like the idea and we'll have some fun making music.

Also I've been speaking to technicians about embossing tin cans, would be useful if i was a little more competent, but things are looking good.
