PreFACE:
Kindly, Michael Rosenstein asks some questions about
Loiter Volcano :
- Do you see yourselves as part of a new community/communities coming up?
- If so, what are your thoughts as to the foundational elements that have brought you together?
- Is the notion of a community of musicians important to you?
I know that at least some of you have worked together as part of the regular workshop series that Eddie Prevost runs.
- Can you comment on how (or if) that has influenced the way you approach improvisation?
- Also are there other seminal experiences that have influenced your playing together?
As always, recordings represent a document of a particular point in time.
Any comments on how you think these documents fit in to the music you were playing at the time and what has transpired since are welcome.

its a shame that when i look at the words they don't change. they just look back.
depending on the weight of what I will carry, I might get the number 48 bus from Hackney Baths bus stop, located opposite the "Pedimented Ionic doorcases,
reached via steps, with arched entrances" of the Kings Hall leisure Centre*,,,,, public swimming pool, baths and fitness facilities ('Hackney Baths').
Fitness activities are currently conducted in a particularly DANK and airless grim-box.

*"The baths retain numerous features of interest as well as a handsome frontage, and is listed as a building of special interest,
embodying late Victorian civic concern for the promotion of cleanliness and fitness"

possibly, it all began with the Yellow Crane, 1982.

Michael Rosenstein responds:
What is the relationship of documentation to codification and/or comditization? [sic?]
In new situations how does one balance reaction and response?
Is pre-disposed process an instantiation of intention?
How does the inquisitive nature of an organizer play in to the practice of collaboration?
Let s see where this goes and decide upon what becomes public and what becomes the PREface to the preFACE.
