Your Oldton

A peaceful place

Here is the sound of the Oldton countryside for you, Tim, with a photo to match. Not sure what kind of birds are singing, but I'm sure it will bring back memories for you.

Personally I wouldn't mind disappearing here.

The butchers

The mysterious Douglas has also sent me a sound file. I've also had an email that makes reference to the local butcher.

Not sure though where to place this on the map. More clues needed.

This v short soundfile is at the heart of how I feel about my own lost childhood house - its roofless dereliction is a letting in of light, and of all weathers -

There is a Zen proverb: My barn has burned to the ground. Now I can see the moon.

Dear Tim,

The Oldton project is interesting. I've attached a midi I found on the net that sounds like a place from my past that I can't quite put my finger on. It has also inspired me to write a poem or two.
