soundscape

"Ancient Chinese Proverb; A book is like a garden carried in the pocket".....this has little or no relavance to the post, but I've never read more wisdom in one sentence....

I was sitting Hyde Park this morning at 6am, because there is truely nothing more stunning than watching the sun rise over the majestic garden, it is a constant reminder to me of how fragile life on earth is. I was reading my favourite novel, Wuthering Heights, as i watched the sleepy city come to life, and then.... it struck me.
I had heard about soundscapes (definition: a sound or combination of sounds that forms or arises from an immersive environment), and i thought, what place better to make a soundscape of, than the city of Sydney?
I got out my recording equipment and began at once. Sydney is so rich with sounds! I mixed it together when i got home and sent it to a place where they convert MP3s into vinyl.... how vintage is that! Luckily I have my trusty Emerson record player to play it on, anyway, I took my vinyl and record player to my favourite market in the world (Glebe of course) and me and a couple of friends set it down on the grass, turned it on.... and danced.
Other kindred spirits joined in on our manifesto, and hours seemed to pass in a matter of minutes.
Its moments like these when I realise, I'm so glad to be indie/alternative.

oh and just to share... i got the most gorgeous new Docs, they're floral patterned and they remind me of spring breezes on a daisy field. Just looking at them transports me to a better place.
