06.59

Camp Caravan, Royalston, Massachusetts.

One bag open, one bag closed…

Farewell workstation…

Farewell room of Health & Vitality…

The end: always bitter-sweetness. This moment has gone: it will never be here again. In these moments, we are practising our dying.

Noticeable to these eyes: the different cultures of American Crafties & the Euro/Argentinean team.

08.35 Acoustic breakfasting music; followed by electric breakfasting music with several major feedback whistles. The looping was set up as backing for major sustained electric lead over the top of it. This was not a performance I know as ambient, for ambient music my be disregarded or engaged with, or disengaged from. There was no choice with this loud electric music: the demand was to give it attention. There were also tuning issues.

Car call for 08.45 with Hell Boy Tom.

11.15 Red Carpet Club, Logan Airport, Boston.

Tom tried hard to get us lost, and failed – but not without several attempts to get off the right road. And we made good time! Driving with Tom is always a learning experience. Tom is bringing The Hellboys to England for a recording session in September 3/4/5 at DGM HQ.

Check-in was superbly straightforward & security clearance rapid. If all air travelling were this straightforward.
