New Muses, more details...



Possibly I was being a touch too much of a tease in my last post.

What I've done is written a sequence of ten sonnets: nine in the voices of a single Muse, but upgraded for the 21st century; and the tenth from all nine.

Then I found a group of nine like-minded individualsyou may find it disturbing that I can so easily find nine like-minded individualsgot them to perform the individual sonnets, and then mixed the performances together with some narration and a selection of supporting sound effects.

It has been a most inspiring experience.  Hearing such a variety of voices performing my words has shown me things about the poems that I would not have heard had I merely recorded them myself, and the process of editing and adding sound effects to each recording has had me concentrating on phrases, individual words, or sometimes just the space between a pair of words.

It is nearly ready for release now.  I just need to dot some "i"s and double-cross some senior priests...

I've been quiet...

I've been quiet...



"But professor, what is it?"

"You may well ask, Susan.  I don't exactly know,
but if I had to guess, I'd say a Greek Goddess
that's been massively upgraded.
...because I've been working on something.  Or rather I've gathered a small but dedicated group of like-minded individuals and we've been working on something.

Sometimes the Muse favours you...

Sometimes She does not...

Sometimes all nine Muses move into your spare room, playing bongo drums and spray-painting the walls at 3:00 a.m...
