formerly pig city (or making the perfect album in 27 days while pre-apocalyptic)

hello all, here is another audio log.  this one is the BEST of them, i can confirm.  Seja Vogel (Hearsej, Pul(sew)idth intruments, Seja, Regurgitator, Sekiden, Brisbane music community generally) was so kind to speak with me about Brisbane, music, and the project.  this was such an incredible conversation to get to have, and i am really overwhelmed with emotion about it.  i hope you enjoy! the vid...

this episode is long!  i haven't relistened to it yet.  oh my god, i think i was the zombie movie in this one? Undead (2023) a masterstroke of australian cinema. the videos are here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpeniUnTNw-Bsn-6PR0jmDcDmTJz-XWv&si=J1z-xIchnrVmaagW the songs made are available here  https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-or-making-the-perfect-album-in-27-da...

day 14, i forgot that i baked that one flat banana cake during the project.  this audio log really got to a wonderful place.  this is a good one. the videos are here  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpeniUnTNw-Bsn-6PR0jmDcDmTJz-XWv&si=J1z-xIchnrVmaagW the songs made are available here  https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-or-making-the-perfect-album-in-27-days-while-pre-ap...

day 13 was a really rough day apparently.  this fucking rules.  that's so funny.  we discuss the daily performances from the musicians, the video material contributors, etc.  i talk about a song that is not a part of the project. the videos are here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpeniUnTNw-Bsn-6PR0jmDcDmTJz-XWv&si=J1z-xIchnrVmaagW the songs made are available here  https://turms-of-art.bandc...

i haven't relistened to this one.  got to be another good one though, surely.  in personal news, i've been thinking about the song 'Steal My Sunshine' by LEN a lot. the videos are here  https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpeniUnTNw-Bsn-6PR0jmDcDmTJz-XWv&si=J1z-xIchnrVmaagW the songs made are available here  https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-or-making-the-perfect-album-in-2...

life within the project continues after day 10.  Powderfinger turn up to play. i love Internationalist.  i learn how to say a word.  i come to an understanding how my brain capoicity works.  lot of progress re the zine.  i am not holding things together fine maybe.  i think this is a good ep.  we learn about the lore of the Veronicas. the videos are here https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUpeniUn...

DOUBLE DIGITS DAY! i lament the articles.  i really want to talk about the Veronicas, but first let's discuss the Internationalist by Powderfinger.  i list some names of the writers on these albums?  why go through that.  i discuss the importance of the song 'you ruin me' by the Veronicas.  i struggle with the song 'if you love someone' by the Veronicas.  i am clearly losing my mind in this one. t...

day 9.  this thing is still going?  officially rename to 'full immersion meanjin'.  vivid dreams.  a confession re: letterboxd.  a review of the performances of the veronicas and powderfinger on these, their only albums ever, and the only albums to ever exist.  a discussion of the second form of the project.  we briefly get into the editing of the 4zzz video.  emotions were felt about jellyfish? ...

oh my god, this was the day i watched 'Mr Nice Guy (1997)'.  a movie where Jackie Chan plays a TV chef for no real reason, but, importantly, is still Jackie Chan.  it is a very melbourne / naarm movie, for this very brisbane / meanjin project.  still doing all that other stuff (albums, video material, articles, losing my mind). the songs made are available here https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/al...

a week in.  really keen on day 10.  i learn about the true name behind the Fitzgerald Inquiry.  suspicions are cast against the authors of the noisy miner bird article.  discussions are again had about whether the project can be renegotiated.  i make sense of the nature of cyclones. the songs made are available here https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-or-making-the-perfect-al...

this song did become my favourite song on the album, i think.  i can't remember. the songs made are available here https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-or-making-the-perfect-album-in-27-days-while-pre-apocalyptic  you can find my music on bandcamp under https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/ and on streaming. despite my best efforts, i am still on instagram (https://www.instagram....

i am BACK ON BOARD WITH THE PROJECT IN THIS ONE.  i start bargaining with the project.  is that a stage of something?  who can say.  first mention of a desire to be 'released' from the project.  does that mean i am in the 'clutches' of the project?  progress is made on day 5.  maybe i am not back on board. the songs made are available here https://turms-of-art.bandcamp.com/album/formerly-pig-city-...
