Solo oboe, trumpet, Conté’s interview, church piano

I’m extending my stay in Brussels. So much material is flooding in with more people wanting to contribute that it’d be daft to leave now. Yes the music has to be sourced then made then mapped here. Florian came by to play solo oboe selecting the blue route (girls songs) as score. Ivan brought his trumpet and played the whole map. He said later it was the first time he’d played for anyone apart from his teacher. Samson appeared with 7 edited chunks of Conté’s interview which is so mesmeric that I’m thinking to hang the entire piece around it. Moune’s church piano is perfect down Liverpool Rd – the curious street full of African car mechanics looking for work – and Prince’s talk on VIP passports adds the coda. Do you know the expression VIP passport? I’m thinking of writing a song about it.
