Letters from Quentin

Quentin S. Crisp, Kodagain, Saša Zorić Čombe

I am in the early stages of a very exciting musical project with the band Kodagain. I'm providing lyrics for a new album. The projected title for the album is Letters from Quentin - a suggestion that was generously made to me and with which I'm not in the least inclined to argue. The lyrics will either be my original work, or translations of the poetry of Kaneko Misuzu (I suppose it's possible that I might translate someone like Hagiwara Sakutaro, too, but I don't know if I have my copy of his work with me at the moment). The music and recording will be by Saša Zorić Čombe (and others?). Kodagain are my new favourite band, so I feel very lucky to be invited to collaborate like this.

I don't know how long the album will take to complete, but further news can be expected here as and when. Some of the songs might be made available online. In fact, some of them already are (four to be exact). My current favourite of these, is the latest, Purple Loosestrife.

And here is some choice Kodagain:

I'm gonna lay my head on some lonesome railroad line, let the 2:19 train hit me, ease my troubled mind The Peter Harris Experience 20

Congats, sounds good :up: . Could add to your list with "For a few Quentins more", but I won't.

Good luck.

Regards.

Ah, yes, that's a good title. For some reason my comment notification thingy seems to be on the blink at the moment, so I've only just discovered your comment. Thank you. Work is going well.
