While 'The Lido' matures and ferments, one can only sit back and wait. It's always taken longer than anticipated to get songs recorded, as I flit between days where I am a tireless perfectionist who spends so long editing and retaking that I forgets to eat, and days where I am tempted to speed things up a bit by cutting corners.
This is a mix-tape I made for a friend. I made a photomontage cover out of old Royal Academy Magazines. Photomontage is something I used to do a lot of, and will probably return to again. There was a small surge of photomontage artists during WWII, and Soviet artists were using the technique from the 1920s onwards. It's a powerful way of mixing up ideas to form new ones. The one I've made certainly mixes up old images to make a new one, but not so much ideas. It's purely for the amusement of my friend, as he ponders the music I've chosen for him.
