Scattered throughout the first ten months of parenting I've somehow found enough stray moments to cobble together a new record, made from recordings at the coast of the Olympic Peninsula, where the Hoh River meets the Pacific. It's called 'Characters at the Water Margin' and will appear sometime later this year, compliments of the label Unfathomless. I've had this title for quite a while, found in a small book on the Chinese history of jade carving from my grandparents' library. I meant to use it for a short piece published a few years ago and but it got miscommunicated and appeared as 'Characters at Water Margin'. As I'm somewhat uptight about the little things in writing like the article 'the', I've been feeling that this title needed another go and so here is the opportunity for it to appear again and name a larger body of 'characters'.
Here's a preview...
