This was sourced from a room recording I made of Richard Faulhaber playing back an experiment he’d done with an extract of human speech being repeatedly abstracted and stretched (vaguely inspired, I think, by Alvin Lucier’s ‘I Am Sitting In A Room’ technique). I liked the sound of it and asked to include it on the record as a tribute to his years of encouragement and support. The ‘Blackbird’ reference is to Richard’s excellent 1989 cassette ‘Black Birds Basking’. The shadow of an actual blackbird is lurks in the background.

It is, that’s the most bestest thing about it. And that is exquisitely bestest. I am a penniless moron, with an armful of generosity. Warm regards…. kevinrutmanis
