[pure-silver] Re: Off-topic: Darkroom music

I dont really know what this panodras box thing is,
without looking at it, I dont know what it could do
for me... but to avoid the wire problem I connect my
computer to a set of infrared headphones and then tune
into whatever I want to enjoy...

I second Richards comment about BBC; I used to listen
to VOA and the Deutsche Welle as well... 

(before the internet I used a shortwave radio to get
"the rest of the story")

I tend to print in "binges" that can last about 18 or
more hours... I think my favorite music is a tape I
found(!) which someone had thrown out... I dont know
who it is but it has "CLANNAD" writen on the tape; Its
in Galic (?) ...I am starting to think it might be
someone named Enya (?) anyway it is beautiful and
pleasent to listen to. In a weird way, I think the
fact that it is sung (or is it sang?) in a language I
dont understand helps me to concentrate on my imagery.


Does this make any sense?

Anyway, I too used to use the FM transmitter technique
but the battery kept giving up before I was ready to
stop printing, so now I find using the IR headphones
works very well!

I just have to remember to disconnect when using IR
sensitive emulsion!

Actually, I think I kind of like the gurgle!
