Chords: Bm > C#
Words:

lost the scent in the fur of your neck
picked it up again at drinks on the deck
I wondered how our spirits get out
‘til I saw our skins hanging in the marquee
load the bricks through the hole in the lawn
scatter ash out silver salad bowls
do you think the path of the hero was lit
by a phone on a stick flickering
or moon on our lips

first got stuck in the pace of the time
second one ran out underneath the tyres
and the third one listened to everybody else
and the fourth got bored only liking love
singing

we never thought about it much
I remember now 
did you use your whole heart 
for a little while
and if the treasure isn’t seen
the shovel works 
the monument was nothing to believe

we can have a house that’s bigger than we need
I can see the woods if we turn out the light
people saving up wonder what it means
something between them and the outside
you can choose the colours I can trap the meat
you say the things that only I can think
people holding hands wonder what it means
something between them and the outside

now that no one is listening 
we pause at the sight of the scene, our theme
she lifted up her drink and said
‘this must be the place in the dream, but I guess
I’m already there and now there’s nothin’ next’
singing

we never thought about it much
I remember this
did you use your whole heart
was there more to it?
and if the treasure isn’t seen
then we’ll keep the tape
we make mistakes for authenticity

now I know all the towers rising through the trees
‘we can see you’ they say, ‘always seeing we
and we’ll always be here reminiscing
about your body missing
about you bodies missing’

we can have a house that’s bigger than we need
I can see the woods if we turn out the light
people saving up wonder what it means
something between them and the outside
you can choose the colours I can trap the meat
you say the things that only I can think
people holding hands wonder what it means
something between them and the outside

A playthrough of a layered audio performance I did for videobrains as part of my residency there. 

If you're into this, please consider backing my Patreon! You can find all the other recordings/texts and lots of background stuff there. And in January I'll send backers a zine from the project. http://patreon.com/hannahnicklin

I'm doing a series of performative talks about a 'psychogeography of games' - thinking about how place affects game design through the places important to game designers. This is the fourth talk - covering George Buckenham, Brutalism, and how community is a practice, not a product.

During the performance I ran Logic up on the screen behind me, and live mixed the different tracks, arranging them, changing automation etc. as I went. This meant that there's pretty much always the odd pause or mistake that works best when you can see my process. That's sort of the point. Also not having to do things perfectly works for me. In the spirit of that, this is just the first take when I plugged in all the stuff. I probably could have done the levels nicer with a bit of time, but who has time? Not me.

The track features recorded rain, thunder, footsteps from the walk, and also a true story of mine I felt was intimately related to the otherwise abstract discussion of housing. 

The backing music an approx 20 min playthrough of Panoramical. This scene that I've taken the sound from has visual design by George, and portrays the landscape of North East London as seen from a train. Check out Panoramical, it's great.

The Cool Ghosts Core can't be arsed with Fallout 4, but thankfully we've got guests who can. And what guests! Matt and Joe are joined by the brilliant Kate Gray. So they'll talk about this a bunch this week, while Matt is still reeling over how much fun he's been having with Sorcery! (Matt is also reeling from jetlag, so give him a break if he repeats stuff/loses his mind a bit).

60: Fallout 4, even more Sorcery!
