making a compilation cd requires a lot of thought, i never like to do these things half heartedly, the choice of music should have some thematic flow, and obviously when you create one for a friend you like there is an intent perhaps within the choice that is or has been unsaid, unspoken or unconcious. giving someone a comp cd is an act of near perfect communication as far as i can see, music being a vibration, carries information in an undiluted form.
so making a cd for the french girl was quite demanding, err there's the obvious love songs and stuff, but there's also the fact that i wanna communicate the uncommuicatable. so music being a nurishment for my soul each cut was choice and i have been playing it over and over, re arranging the sequence and it's feeling.
i slept about 6 hours last night, dreamed deeply while outside in the world war raged, children were enslaved, famine moved swifter than a falling guilotine, polititions memories went blank, and more locally a gang of 'middle eastern men' stabbed a man in my street, death in the night. i always have a chess board handy.
