Robbie, Claire, Eva, Dave and Gabriel met at Lucies (without Lucie).

Eva entered to William Burroughs talking on the history of tape cut-ups. Someone has kindly stolen it and put it here for your pleasure: http://www.theaudiophiles.net/2009/04/22/william-s-burroughs-origin-and-theory-of-the-tape-cut-ups-animation/

Ran through last week’s proposal for a 3 week monthly structure etc and was excepted by those present. For talks to be open to others depending on who and where/when – baring in mind that part of the alt in altmfa is in its specificity of place and people. Please see the previous notes from Claire and raise any objections if you have them.

First Monday of the new structure hopefully 3rd October at Neil and Harriot’s Campbell Works. To be confirmed by Claire.

Robbie to give the first theory session on 10th October: Phenomenology, sound, art and politics.

Give up on Wiggio! Use a shared email attachment to add documents to.
