Gut 4: Fight Or Be Fucked

"You can occupy bridges, you can shut down London. You can occupy plazas and squares. When we withdraw our labour, we win."
- Jane McAlevy

A collage of sounds I recorded on my phone.
All selections recorded between 2019 and 2023 on my Huawei P20 Lite. Compiled and edited using Reaper for Windows in Summer 2023.

Some of the clips include:
- My dryer
- Playing a cheap classical guitar
- Playing a Fender Duosonic electric guitar
- Hitting and scraping a large stainless steel bread bowl with a wooden stick outside with the local sparrow flock chirping in the background
- Walking the Churchill Drive Park path on a windy day
- Jane McAlevey’s keynote speech at the 1919 Winnipeg General - Strike Centenary Conference, May 2019. You can find a video of the whole speech on Youtube.

Audio is slightly slowed and pitch shifted down. Some eq, compression, delay, and reverb to taste using free plugins. Transferred to cassette tape using a Kenwood tape deck that my friend, Duane, gave me.

Cover art is a phone photo (Huawei p20 lite) of the sunset from my backdoor. Treated with a free app called 8 Bit Photo lab, then uploaded to Google Drive, then took a photo of that photo displayed on my laptop screen, then treated with stock filters on my phone.

I ripened on a Christmas Day.
