The White Archer is a gumby

[imomus]

I played my little show at the Belleville launch party in the role of The White Archer, my new alter ego. But when I got home and looked at the pictures, I suddenly realised that The White Archer looks like... like... like a gumby. Oh no, my brain hurts!

Right after the Belleville show a bunch of us scooted round the corner to see Anne Laplantine performing at the record store Staalplaat. It was a kind of live Summerisle: Anne played simple guitar parts, kicking a digital delay foot pedal to capture and loop and build phrases, and playing voices, some of them mine, over the top. The results were lovely; what can I say, Anne Laplantine is a genius transported in from the Middle Ages to weave spells of ancient magic with modern technology. One day the whole world will celebrate her; in the meantime it's just you and me. Here's a rough bootleg of some of the concert:
