Under the bonnet of Strange Fish
2024
The Non-sense of AI
'How he's grown!' we exclaim, 'How time flies!' as though the universal form of our experience were again and again a novelty. It is as strange as if a fish were repeatedly surprised at the very wetness of water. And that would be strange indeed: unless of course the fish were destined to become, one day, a land animal.

1. Basking Chimera Under Starlight
Thoughtful animals under the crystal clear surface, skins rippling with the echoes of bent light.
2. Microfish Float Away
Small dots of information swimming around near the cornea.
3. The Slow Boiling of Frogs
When bad things happen slowly, they are more easily accepted - right up until the last moment.
4. Four Rock Bass Relaxing in a Notation Tank
This track started off with four calm, simple, bass guitar parts. The title can be pronounced as either, ‘bass’ or ‘bass’.
5. Decay is a Slow Melancholy
Emptying out the track by a ‘faultering’ or cutting up the rhythm by extending the silence.
6. Clownfish 1978
Uptempo track using an old, lazy guitar part and a smaller sounding mix. This was an attempt to surround it with other, more interesting musical things. Can equally be called (more graphically): ‘Polishing a t**d’.
