A little wintry update …
It is cold … ‘brass monkeys’ as we say back over the channel in blighty ! I’m not sure what the French expression for ‘brass monkeys’ is but I’m sure it is lovely… (I’ve just been informed that it is ‘Il fait un froid de canard’ ). Anyway, mon dieu, c’est trop froid !! And maybe the only person who has not really noticed is Jerome, locked away in the dark studio in Paris, using his finely tuned ears to bring together the Archive sound … bless him.
Danny has been laying down the final few samples and Jerome is adding reverb to these strange noises, interludes are appearing, finely weaving these songs together to create the ‘melange’ that is ‘A’ ! In other words, things are coming together. Darius is still wondering what to eat tonight, tomorrow morning, tomorrow lunch, tomorrow evening etc … ( you get the idea ). Tonight he is cooking a steamy chicken broth for Pollard, Winter fodder to warm the cockles of his heart ! And we are all in good spirits despite the cold, the emanating sounds are our own personal hot-water bottles (bouillottes). Stay safe and warm and have a ‘Grog’ for us …
