Ah, right. I seen a couple of these when I came back. Kinda wondered why they weren't in OKM. Come to think of it I'm still wondering.

I think they were started in exactly the right place. But they may need to be moved to a better place, for posterity.

One of my plans for this weekend is to index and link them.

This has been an epic night.
In between the performings of local punk heros Pariasound (one of which is also a member of this fine board) I read from the spider project  three times. I used Roger's original post, LMNO's first reply and the "I remember there was a time when things were different" text.
The audience absolutely loved it, and I truly enjoyed being the messenger of these awesome words - selected pics coming later.
I was awarded with two beers, some love, a couple of hugs, miscellaneous kudos, interesting conversations and requests for more.
So I am planning to do this again - better, proper setting, background music, etc.

We definitely made a change in some people's minds last night. That makes me a very happy man.

finally I want to say --- GET THIS PUBLISHED!!!

Also, I can rant on demand, if you have an audience.  Gimme a topic when the time comes, or just hit the randomize button if you want to be surprised.


I might have a place to read some more in 2-3 weeks. As for topics, Sweden is full of the same shit as the rest of the western world, random button should work nicely. I can PM you a list of current events in Swedistan once I know the exact date.

bump for activity...

next wednesday on the 25th of november / otherwise the week afterwards on the 2nd of december / I will get around 1-2 hours of stage time to bring some delightful tunes and proper horrormirth into peoples' ears. this time the spider texts will be read in full and chronologically, since I have more time at my disposal. I am also going to throw in some of the city texts if the time allows for it. Musical interludes will be provided by me on a piano.

This isn't bring & brag but here's a rough first draft of the piano piece I had pouring out of my fingers in the last days. It feels good to get back into this so I want to share... once it's done I will haunt you with a recording.

For the spider stories I am thinking of playing something heavier than this though. Checking classic horror movie music right now to find inspiration... any recommendations? I was thinking of giving the spider itself a mighty and disturbing theme which will come back during all texts that mention it.

BUMP - I want to hear that recording!

Oddly enough, I had a pile of papers fall out of the shelf this morning... including a printout from the v3 pdf and my staff papers.
One recording from 2009 exists, going through a few of the themes from the screencap - but I don't mean to have this venture into the public domain just yet. You will get a PM Cram.

As for the current progress. I have obtained a semi-broken piano a while ago and hope to have it all fixed and tuned in february,  thus allowing me to finally get the 2nd half of this done and re-arranging the other small themes I have dotted all over that notebook.
For the time being I make due with a keyboard and renoise; but unless I have a real piano under my fingers the "magic" just won't flow as smoothly; so I stick to my usual type of chiptune/synthy stuff.
