I'm thinking of doing a spoken word recording, some stories I've written and that, but would really like a soundtrack accompaniement (sp?) to go with it. Something that sits in the background for the most part, but serves to unnerve the listener further. Later swans records spring to mind especially.

If anyone is interested, or knows of anyone who is interested, please get in touch, I am eager to get started with this as soon as possible.

I Am Legend

I never really thought of myself as a writer, more like someone who wrote things every now and again to pass the time. But now, for my sins, a writer is what I am. I received in the post yesterday my first 'official' piece of published work, in a journal called Abraxas Unbound. The story is entitled Chorus and is a story in the style of Edgar Alan Poe, maybe a bit of Raymond Carver thrown in (just because its brief and gets to the point). It's not a particularly long or adventurous story, but it's mine nonetheless and I'm happy beyond words to be able to have something on my bookshelf with my own words inside.

If you're interested, you can pick Abraxas Unbound up from here: http://www.lulu.com/content/4617742

There's essays within by Colin Wilson as well as academia on all sorts of subjects. It's quite poetic in a way that the first issue of Doghead was almost entirely dedicated to Wilson's first book, and now here I am sharing pages with him. It's a funny old world.
