Diolch @Bobbi, would love to collaborate with you on my next album, the one that has dropped is called Top of the Apoplexy …
But I think we could write a penultimate post stroke album with others who might like to join. I know we have talented musicians and songwriters affected by stroke who might like this idea? Just putting it out there. I know @ManjiB would approve as he likes his music.
Last night I wrote a short piece entitled ‘Three voices in the Dark.’
A performance for three, that might work, or not, whichever the case might be.
I’ll try it as I’ve done before, as a podcast.
I imagine Top of the Apoplexy was a lot of work.
Creativity is a great way to get out what is mulling inside.
After stroke one tends to do a fair bit of mulling.
The opportunity to ‘speak out’ should be grabbed by both its ears.
Whoever or whatever it is.
It was a lot of work, but the best thing about making it was that it got me writing again. I had developed a neurosis about sitting at the computer when I had a funny turn while on it, early, last year. I found the hwyl to get up and go to the studio, as I call it, everyday to work on something creative. I have two books sitting on my desktop that need to be written and I’ve just found that fatigue from having to organise patterns of information had given me planning paralysis. Doing the album has helped me break that anomaly.
