TUESDAY 27 NOVEMBER

Hello and I'm afraid I've gone all noise. This is a noise track. It is awful. It is so awful that I have decided to charge money for it. It just isn't good enough to be given away for free. This track is dull and derivative and unsurprising and cumbersome and stupid. It is crap - though at 22'46" I bottled it.

I've noticed that all the best music on Bandcamp tends to be free. And this track is just too stodgy and cliched to be put into that category. This is why it is £3. It fits into the sort of music that people pay for. It is safe. I notice that my main tag here is "experimental" .

But if anyone does any real music-experimenting the result would probably be unsellable. Surely "experimental" should be so outre and weird and ahead of its time that no one would want it. They should be too frightened of hearing it let alone downloading it let alone paying for it. Oh what am I doing - I'm dreaming - I'm an old romantic.

This track is pure drivel. In five seconds you could find a dozen far more lifeful noise tracks on Bandcamp that are free. However it will be good for my career prospects. Now I can say that I am a proper musician. A professional. I can be less timid about mixing with other professional musicians.

We can exchange numbers and I will lie and pretend that this is shifting the regulation quantity to help me network my way up into the next level. I really want to fit in. It has been boring doing all this music as an outsider. The eccentric "outsider" thang soon loses its appeal. I want to be inside.

I want to be one of the names the Wire reaches for when it is struggling to describe those kinds of music that all sound the same. And they don't seem to do that with non-professionals. Oh things are going to be great. Now that I am a professional noise musician things are going to be difficult too.

It'll be a hard act to pull off. I don't have a job. Obviously. And I have no money. And it''s going to be a tough act - making out that I'm getting an income from this shit and going on tour in Australia and Japan. But wouldn't it be great - to be finally ACCEPTED.

For the love of god, please don't pay for this track. If you've just had a stroke or are otherwise mentally doolally and yearn to "own" this thing, send me an email and I'll send you a free CDR. But this music isn't for you. It's for me - part of my CV - the next level - so I can walk tall walk straight and look the world right in the eye and maybe a real-life proper label will snap me up and ask for a track and it'll be £20 and it'll be on something that you put on a shelf without ever breaking the seal and I'll have my name on other discogs pages and go viral and people will like me and I'll be a musical reference-point and people will know what to expect from me and I shall never want to lose them or disappoint them and I'll be a real experimental musician at last.
