The Big Three met yesterday morning to discuss DGM's transition to its next stage. Subjects covered include a quantum shift in David's role. His role as Production Manager remains the same but the way he functions & interfaces has changed. For several years I have been asking David in astonishment & bewilderment: "What are you doing here?". Now, I believe David knows what he is doing here and is about to get on & do why he is here.
The Collectors' Club & the DGM Website are both critically important. David's perceptive & creative intelligence is about to be directed towards the Club & Website. This as an alternative to getting stuck inside the endless trivia which are an inevitable part of DGM life, upstairs in business & downstairs in music.
In the Music Room we tickled & vibrated the first three Club releases for the Japanese shop release of the Collectors' Box. Club members who have these may have enjoyed (or not!) the plentiful display of Crim warts: mellotron tuning being gently calibrated, in the despair & hope that the next pitch to (nearly) settle might approximate tuning; a violin experimenting with manual pitch-shifting techniques; querulous vocals. All these and more. The shop release has a few less warts, but not many.
"Everything we are is revealed in our playing."
