UK travels included a brief but impressionable stay with Steve Stapleton and Diane Rogerson in London, with with visits to John Smith (Interchange magazine) in Newcastle, and Mark Durgan (Birthbiter, Putrifier) in Oxford. Following this, a lengthy stay with Christoph Heemann (HNAS, DOM Records) in Aachen, Germany, with a side trip to Ivrea, Italy to stay with Andrea Cernotto (The Sodality).\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eChristoph and I whiled away our time listening to records, talking of records, shopping for records, and discussing the process of making a record together.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWhile dining in a local Thai restaurant in Aachen we heard a warbly, distorted background music tape that had likely been playing for ages, thinking, “we can do this...” and took it as inspiration for the opening track on the LP. We invited Christoph’s brother, Andreas Martin, to join us in the fun, to which he graciously agreed. We booked the studio and rehearsed at their parent’s house the night before with violin, banjo and recorder. We transferred a piano piece I had recorded in Seattle, a field recording of toads, created the radio\/sound collage for Jolly Jumble from the tapes I brought, and completed the album with an ambient piece.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWe took our master tape to Belgium to have the lacquer cut and shipped it off to the pressing plant in Germany. I flew back to Seattle and patiently waited for my copies from the “test pressing” ... 50 copies. Christoph kept 8-9 copies for himself, Andreas, and friends.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e(John Hubbard)\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"bcTruncateMore\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArt Into Life, 2021\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43459263332593,"sku":"AIL027","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/products\/vogelscheis_ail.jpg?v=1668218944","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/vogelscheiss-und-seine-verruckten-kroten-vogelscheiss-und-seine-verruckten-kroten-lp","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
