MANUAL

-         Seán Street (U.K.)

 

The memory card

is already inserted

in the equipment.

 

When memory card

is full erase material

that is not required.

 

But back up content.

Things accidentally lost

cannot be retrieved.

 

During recording

monitor should not turn red.

Avoid distortion.

 

But pay attention

to noise, its capacity

for becoming song.

 

It isn’t just sound

but time you’re recording.

Grow still and listen.

 

The unexpected

at any given moment

is everywhere.
