On june 24, my wife decided to leave me, after 17 years of common life, traveling, exploring, recording everywhere. It arrived during a long evening spent in a school ( sound https://aporee.org/maps/?loc=36999 ). We are exactly three month after. I still understood nothing, but henceforth no matter. In my new home, this is the common sound I can hear near everyday, also a school with young children. The name is heather school, in fact its the name of the district of the Louvain-La-Neuve city. It was a symbolic act to record the first day in it, new home, new life, new hopes. Regularly, you can hear my great friend the Common Starling. Nothing special about this sound, except it was my first hour in it. A new beginning.

no complaints here, noise it up!
Hi @northguineahills! I recommend leaving work now but that's just me.
Hi @gloomsday, the birds are actually very accommodating once you get to know them..
hey geezerette! There are a wealth of youtube videos for cats, long set shots of birds and fishtanks that I sometimes project for my cats. They are always confused.
Ok, 10+ hours is long enough (and I've been the only one at the office all day), I'm off for a drink, since I can afford that again. I'll hit you at the end of your show.
i wish my neighborhood sounded something like this. where i moved from a year ago sort of did. better, in my opinion. a variety of birds, including a variety of owls; insects; very active squirrels; deer (& other, non-noisy animals); an occasionally howling dog not far away and other dogs a little farther; geese, seasonally; and a rail trail at the bottom of the hill that was the house's back/my front yard - so occasional interesting loud walkers, and a daily group of waldorf school children walking once in each direction.
'never heard a neighbor's tv or anyone's rap or other crappy music, except the rare drive by at the student housing nearby. (which also contributed some interesting noise sometimes, and some partying - but rarely enough that the sound was welcome)
- now it's just the gas station/convenience store next door, and a busy street pretty close by.
yeah the landlord thought he could renovate it and get a lot more money for it. i actually would've paid 100 bucks more/month if he really did fix it up; but i know he didn't...and he's probably sorry that he lost me, because now that apartment will join the other 6 in the house that are constantly changing occupants, with long periods of vacancy in-between.
i'll have to wait until i'm on a different computer that doesn't freeze with youboob.
...his site says he's from ghana, which is where i bought my bougarabou from. that got me wondering what that craftman was up to. i'm not finding him though. it'd be a shame if he's not making drums any more.
got a pic coming up next that might illuminate. It's mostly discarded wine foil caps and other (mostly alcoholic) drink caps and wrappers. Usually held together with copper wire I think.
-yeah i play drums. i play anything that i can and have an odd collection of instruments, but can't say i play them well! -certainly not conventionally.
-and i'm pretty sloppy on the drum kit; but not too bad with hand drums.
well, he and his crew of assistants. I showed this to a class once and they all got so mad that he used assistants, imagining that he must have spent every waking hour on this or it wasn't legit
Make students do research on assistants in the studio through the ages. MAKE 'EM. Though I've seen phenomenally intricate and elaborate work apparently done by solo artists.
me too melinda. especially Warhol's multiple images of Marilyn or whatever - which are just mechanically duplicated images with a different color applied to each one. it wouldn't even take that long to do it himself.
right, Jesse...but then it's bothered me since i was a wee tyke that the string and horn sections of pop/rock records never listed every musician - just the arranger.
Art from centuries past is sometimes credited to "Studio of (famous name)," and attributions can get changed or blurred -- thought to be the master, then reassessed as created/executed by someone under his wing.
On the music side, I sometimes think about all the anonymous voices who sang in choruses and back-up teams for popular music through the decades of the 20th century. Beyond immediate credit question, strange that there must be so damn many of them, but I never heard someone show up elsewhere saying, 'Yes, I did a bunch of Percy Faith recordings," or Nat Cole or Andy Williams back-ups or something.
@coelacanthø, I suppose if you open a Deutche Grammophon record it probably doesn't list all the personnel, right? It's been a while since I cracked one
Jesse exactly. A director gets more recognition than other people working on a film, but everyone has a title and gets credit. I've often thought that artists who work on a scale that requires multiple helpers as directors, of a sort.
@melinda, totally but I can't imagine the art culture changing that much to give production credits.
welcome back northguineahills, how was your drink?
I don't see it changing either. But it's interesting also for the reason that doing your own work and having other people execute your vision are different projects requiring different skills (with some overlapping of course), one isn't necessarily superior to the other, yet these roles are both lumped together under the artist label.
Heck, when it comes to music, I believe the designers who built the instruments, the machinists who pressed them w/ machines, should alsi be credited as collaborators.
Can only imagine the extra effort and relationship zones required for some artists, i.e., for casting sculptures you gotta find foundry individuals who get you and are good 'n reliable.
Besides which, I think it's just much less interesting to think about artists as mythical solitary figures than as real humans who have to talk to and work with other people to execute often fluid processes.
Stravinsky wasn't expected to play every instrument in his compositions, nor was Frank Zappa. i, myself might be creating some good music if i had other people with playing talent at my disposal. i certainly would take advantage of that; but i'd definitely give each and every player credit - including credit for arranging their parts, if they did so.
...i wonder if El Anatsui's art would be different if he did it all himself. i think so. i think if it were all him there'd be more deliberate patterns within the bigger swatches of specific materials.
same for myself, melinda. my drawing is my drawing. i'm positive that if i commissioned someone else - no matter who, and no matter how detailed the instructions, that it would not end up exactly as if i had done it.
Hard to know, his website has lot of earlier work that looks smaller in scale and could have bene solo, very different than the tapestries that he became famous for. There could be ways to take into account the uncertainty of other people building things and allow that to be the process.
