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.

the infinite tin can band
hello the internet!
welcome to the website of my project.
Here's the idea -
One musician starts playing a piece of music on the street.
Another joins in from across the street, then another from an open window, then another from a rooftop, then more stretching all down the street, then people join in banging or scraping tin cans, and it goes on and on and could stretch on ad infinitum.
Not necessarily a street, it could be in a park, in the woods, on a staircase
I hope from reading this you can imagine something. There are lots of reasons and its come from reactions to alot of things, but I'll let you understand it however you like.
So, I need some musicians, and tin cans, and some music
I hope you like my project, don't find it offensive and want to join in.
If you are a musician or composer in Manchester and are interested please email me
