about

White Rabbit pulls the 4-track recorder out of the storage cupboard once again, the ancient mechanism creaks and groans into service, the plastic cogs and crinkly tape spin and the magnetic particles are rearranged. Another offering to the four winds of the internet, burnt here and available to breath in. One single track made up of these bits:

1. Take me to the Moon: I administrate the chaos, from the bottom of my wine glass. Everyone needs an occupation.

3. Inter Lude: On a bright day in February. No thoughts of the past or the future.

2. Specola Vaticana: What are they hoping to see up there? Is it enough?

4. Mysteries of Snow: Endless white is all that’s visible, but is there something beyond it?

5. Walking in the Park: You are outside the safe boundaries of a blameless life, but you have to keep moving.

These songs have been made on a 4-track cassette tape using a Tascam Porta07 tape recorder, and then edited together digitally to make one long piece of music. All the reverb and effects are doing with guitar pedals. All the faults and failings are mine.

Thanks to Isi Clarke at Grange Farm Studio for endless encouragement and loan of microphones used on this recording.
