From now on I don't label my releases as EPs LPs or Singles, I label them as foci. This opens up the playing field for the perception of the release, the record, because most of my material is straddling these feelings as idioms.
£70 was donated through Bandcamp for my last release, an Easter present if there ever was one! Thank you so much. Rest assured it just helps me and my family live. But the most we buy is a special kebab each. And we had that meal at my apartment last night.
Bandcamp seems to like me. I am very hapy the staff let me upload so much stuff here week on week, seeing as it's my own collection of release-worthy music. I like to think of myself, in a joking way, as a kind of ambient Jandek, because in his sixties now he has over 80 albums released on Corwood Industries, while I have almost 50 releases straddling single, album and ep categories.
This release is definitely an EP, it's not long enough for an LP. I hope it will fund another kebab some time, I'm always hungry! ;) But I am trying to get under 19 stone of behemoth balloon man now, so don't be too generous!
I also don't like to make money. So I'm as generous as I can be with spreading it. I don't like whoring money. I'm definitely not a Tory anyway! But I understand, and with a new letter from the disablement allowance cabinet, I need enough to live on. Less than two years ago, too, although I was comfortably solvent, my quality of life in shared accomodation was not very good for my health because I didn't feel like the people around me were family, even my carer.
Things are better now, happily so.
Speaking of kebabs, we have a wonderful set of chefs in Carterton Kebab near the crossroads and HSBC Bank. They do kebabs until midnight most nights last orders. It's like our family treat once a week - we don't buy loads of takeaways, as we like to stay fit. I'm the biggest member of my immediate family by some way though. Since I have been living a incapacitated unfit lifestyle through anxiety and schizophrenia, where I can't even think of things like this normally. Now I'm in a better place, finally to this letter, things like yesterday were such a treat.
Happy Easter, and if there was a stocks and shares system for Bandcamp, may this release be something you can invest in to reward yourself.

36 (spelt three-six), the moniker of Dennis Huddleston, turns in his best work for me personally on this warm, sonic bath of tonal ambient that relies on classical music and raga pacing influences. :) Foci's Left
