• My computer was hit by a nasty virus over the weekend (thanks for your expensive protection Norton) only just got the damn thing going again…if by any chance you’ve emailed me recently please write again….mucho correspondence has been lost….

• Cheers
• Sorry no sound today…

I’m wondering if anyone has a ’sound’ which they’d like to contribute to ‘The Babel Bell’ project at the forthcoming Scenofest at the Prague Quadrennial 2007.

The idea is that before each presentation, or event, on the Scenofest stage some loudspeakers mounted at the top of the Tower of Babel (a huge structure being built nearby) will relay a sound, which will herald people to the theatre. This sound can be anything whatsoever it’s simply down to you and your imagination. The only conditions are; that your sound should be no more than 1 minute long, that no payment will be due or made if they’re used and please do not infringe anyones’s copyright! These sounds must be all your own work…

Please send you your sounds to me, Steve@scenofest.org. I’ll look forward to receiving them, or answering any other questions you might have.

For further info on Scenofest and the Prague Quadrennial take a look at http://www.scenofest.org and http://www.pq.cz.

You don’t have to be a Sound Designer or Sound Artist, anyone can submit a sound….go on you know you want too..

And finally…..something for the weekend…

Those who know me, or have read/listened to some of my past posts, will know that I quite like a peaceful Sunday morning, not sure why, because to me this day of the week is much like any other. But I do like to simply lay in bed listening to people endlessly witter on the radio, or sometimes, I watch TV and laugh at the smug ‘oh aren’t we so ironic’ style of presentation on Channel Four. But when I’m in Manchester it isn’t the sound of Seagulls which wakes me, but the sound of this awful ‘electronic’ Church Bell. Yep not the romance real one but a digital ring much like the sound you’d expect from an overlarge wristwatch.
