dear friendly people with computers
well summer in england has been a patchy affair at best. fortunately we are
off to japan tomorrow to catch up on warmth (and play some shows).
some of you may know that i have just finished recording at abbey road with
18 musicians for a big band/jazz orchestral album. however, it would be
really great if some of you would like to be involved as well.
we did this on 'foreign bodies' off of the bodily functions album which was
made entirely from sounds sent to us from some of you people on our mailing
list. (coincidentally it has just been sampled itself by slum village on
their new album).
the new album is based all around books, reading, paper and things
associated with the creation and consumption of literature, and heres what
we would like you to do.
(you can do all 3, or just one (or none at all obviously))
in return, we will credit you on the album and to the first 100 people we
will send a promo copy of the new doctor rockit single on vinyl or cd.
please note that the deadline for us to receive all your post/emails will be
september the 5th. also, don't to forget to include your name, address and
email info.
firstly we would like you to record the sound of you dropping your local
telephone directory on the floor. it should be a residential phone book
rather than one that is a list of businesses. it would probably work best if
you can stand on a chair and drop it squarely downwards.
if you are technically minded you can email us your recording of this noise
as an mp3 file, wav file, aiff file or quicktime file to the following
address:
[email protected]
if you prefer, you can send it on one of the following formats: cd,
minidisc, dat or cassette tape to either our european address or to our
american address:
mhbb
accidental records
po box 24953
london SE23 3GS
mhbb
accidental records
pmb 170
29 john street
new york new york 10038
usa
secondly we would like you to cut out from your local or national newspaper,
one story over the next two weeks about iraq. it doesn't matter if its
positive or negative, or if you agree or disagree with a potential attack on
iraq. please post the original cutting to either of the above addresses.
finally we would like to know what book you would recommend others to read.
(fiction or non-fiction) please just email the title and author to us at:
[email protected]
if any of you are in tokyo we are playing 2 big band shows friday and
sunday, with an accidental cast party on the 23rd. all at the liquid rooms.
at the accidental party, there will be live sets from the soft pink truth, 8
doogy moto and the live debut of dani siciliano and her solo project. i will
also be attempting to mix records together.
thanks in advance, and i am looking forward to hearing what you get up to.
