Audio journal by Anton Mobin, recorded in London in May 2012.
Edited in Paris during the listening for a spontaneous report.
Posted on-line without authorization of the protagonists, because I consider that these recordings put nobody in danger, that each has knowledge of my activity of sound archiving and to finish, the microphone is never hidden but outstanding of all...
First, all this tour would not have been possible without the enormous support of Will Connor, Anthony Donovan, Matt Chilton from Vultures Quartet, Kunal at chaos Theory and Art Terry at Resonance FM.
MOPOMOSO
May, 20th, 2012
Mopomoso was founded in 1991 by guitarist John Russell and pianist,
trumpeter and composer Chris Burn to promote improvised music and where
applicable its relationship to other forms of contemporary music making.
So, you can easily imagine my pleasure to play there !
The place is beautiful, also called The Vortex Jazz Club, a quite smart
venue and all people here were very kind. A special mood flight here:
Chelsea just won the day before the Champions league !

BOAT TING
May, 21th, 2012
day off
A great night of free jazz music and incredible musicians in a beautiful boat !
I keep in mind the most impressive viola player i've ever seen Benedict Taylor
I hope to welcome him soon in Paris !
Some great photos by Andy Newcombe (Shuffleboil) on his website : http://jazztourist.wordpress.com/
My only one regret this night; impossible to record boat sounds due to the pop music playing upstairs... arfff !
I can't leave the evening without buy something as a souvenir. So i choose this book of poems by Karin Dahlbacka, in collaboration with Sibyl Madrigal, the organizer of the boat ting events.
RECORDING SESSIONS WITH VULTURES QUARTET
May, 21th, 23th, 24th, 2012
I know Vultures Quartet since 2 years. Vultures Quartet is a trio composed by Anthony Donovan (half prepared guitar, objects), Will Connor (percussions and bicycle) and Matt Chilton (laptop, mixer, guitar, and more) plus a guest.We were all together for the Black Mass Rising in Paris, organize by Colin Johnco, Shazzula and me (Pixi's gig).
I had the pleasure to host a radio show AMSW#9 with Vultures with Daniel Beattie for the webradio KKWNE : it was for me one of the best session at home. Unfortunately, my mixer was so little and i was unable to improvise with them this day...
This year, Anthony Donovan comes again in Paris to play different gigs for the Classwar Karaoke tour in Paris.

All these 3 artists are fantastic musicians with a such impressive way to practice together ; 3 days' session will probably change my way to play in collaboration in the future.
We settled in Matt's comfortable place. The sun was so hot, the environment so pleasant to make a good work. The saloon is full of materials ; an impressive mountain of objects, weirds and unknown devices !
During these 3 days, we recorded around 4 hours of sounds. So many good
materials to release a project together : so Stay tuned !
Matt Chilton , The Noiseist ! He is !!
With my configuration, it's quite always difficult to play with a laptopist
Now i know that if I had to play with this kind of artist, I prefer playing with Mr Chilton !

His listening is very sharpened and its choices of integration in a band are always sensible.

RESONANCE FM
May, 22th, 2012
We continue the adventure at Resonance FM.
Everybody in France and probably in Europe know this radio station and i was finally a surprise to learn that Londoners themselves were not so impressed to play there. Like a usual thing between friends. Well for me, again, a extreme pleasure to enter in this famous place and discover all the great team working here.
The radio show was planned at 8 pm. Will Connor is the host of the show, helped by Sara for the technical aspect of the show. Just a few words for Sara : I never think of having met a person with such a talent and such an efficiency during a sound check: we were 4 settled in the studio, no easy set up, the sound check has put 5 minutes and the sound was of an incredible comfort in the headphone. I think that the present listeners took advantage of a very good sound... Looking forward to get back podcasts !
Anthony Donovan

Just amazing !!! We played 3à minutes more all 4 together !

Art Terry
Adio Lawal-West gave such a good spirit to the session. Totally improvised, we played in a good harmony for a second time in the same day. Adio is part of those artists where all seems easy and all become possible in this way ! Thanks Adio !!
