Sunday 6 May 2007

I'm clearing up a bit here, as my study is a landscape of unfinished piles of stuff. In one of the piles of stuff is a DAT of our first studio broadcast from 1993, which I'm now transferring to a more durable digital format. Carolyn and me playing Corrette's Les Fêtes de Flore actually sounds like music: it's pretty good. I wonder why I'm surprised. And Katherine's scordatura viola in some Biber is very cheering.

The 2nd proof of the Lion CD digipak has come and gone: I'm very pleased with it. Here you can see the return of Joe's mongrel from Mungrel Stuff, with the recording venue Crichton Kirk in the background (which will probably be cropped on the real thing). If you look closely at the cover of Fiddler Tam you can see that our canine friend is also there, jumping over the sundial: we were going to have him peeing up against the Earl of Kellie's leg but decided against it for some reason. Can't think why.
