We ended up occupying two adjacent rooms which meant that Simon's laptop weirdness didn't come out as loudly as it should have. It was hard to decide where to place the microphone - in the end I hung it from the mouth of a <a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raku">raku</a>-style ceramic fish (hung above the door between the rooms), one of Henry's wife <a target="_blank" href="http://www.lucyrock.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/">Lucy's many raku creations</a>. All our tracks get uploaded with the default title "untitled" since, as a collective, we have no straightforward way of deciding on anything! We are inviting listeners to suggest more interesting titles for our pieces. If any occur to you, please leave a little review (it's easy - see the link below) in which you suggest them. You can tell us what you think of our music at the same time. Any suggested titles we like may end up getting adopted. File names encode recording information, as follows: "010605-d2t1x2-2130to2412.mp3" would be excerpt 2 from track 1 of minidisc 2 (running from 21:30 to 24:12 of that track) recorded during the session on 1st June 2005. Sessions are usually in two parts - we fill one disc, stop for tea, and then fill another disc. <center><img title = "'Child of Pilotless Plane' - Korean" src="http://www.childrenofthedrone.net/logotiny.jpg"></center> <center><a target="_blank" href="http://www.childrenofthedrone.net">Children of the Drone homepage</a></center> <center><a target="_blank" href="http://soundsfromthespring.blogspot.com">The Spring</a> - Matthew W's 'audio blog'                  contact: <a href="mailto:info@childrenofthedrone.net">info@childrenofthedrone.net</a> </td></tr></table></center> 2006-12-17 19:03:39 Matthew Watkins
