    I made a turntable room called zoundzalon.

    This is what I'd like to do with it.

    I would like to meet there, at 10PM London Time (5PM in New York, 2PM in Los Angeles) on the second Saturday of each month starting in January of 2012.

    This room will then become a Sound Salon. Bring your sounds. Not songs.

    Make a sonic composition. Use words, use environmental audio, use music, but don't make it music, or at least, don't make it primarily music.

    Let it be an original audio experiment. Something you made. Try not to rely too heavily on mixing other people's music in there, try to own your noises.

    Give us spoken word pieces. Give us clatter. Give us sonorous tones.

    Keep your piece under ten minutes, maximum. It can be as short as you like, but don't let it get longer, so there is enough room for the anthology.

    Would you like to do this? Who is in for Saturday, January 14th, 10PM London, 5PM New York, 2PM Los Angeles, of the year two thousand and twelve?

    I'm in! My work my be....not very creative at the beginning, since playing with recording sounds is entirely new to me, but I'm up for trying something new in the pursuit of DOING SOMETHING. I'll be a tad late to each session, as well, since I work saturday mornings and get back home at about 2pm.

    Great! Invite anyone you like, if you know people outside whitechapel who might want to play.

    will do! My boyfriend and a few of his friends might be interested in taking part, since they're into playing with sounds.

    I might sit in on the first session (now that turntable's expanded to include twitter log-ins I can actually use it), but probably won't bring any of my own compositions.

    Yes! It is coming! Bring your sounds, and other people's sounds, and maybe music too in case ther are not enough sounds his first outing! But sounds first!

    Times as posted in the first post.

    You could probably use the WC turntable.fm room, too :)

    No. Zoundzalon. It is akin but not of. It is another place.

    I know... we'll wait. At the moment, it's you and me with sounds to play. David Lejeune and Argos are there to listen.

    I haven't even checked out how the sounds came out yet, so it'll be pretty much a surprise to all of us... (But more on that later.)

    It was a good run! You should consider joining us in a month.

    Taphead and I will try to put together a soundcloud or podcast of some of the stuff we played before that, so you can hear. Then bring your own noises next time and join us for Zoundzalon in February!

    Yeah, I'd love to check everything out when you get a chance to post it up somewhere. I worked when this was going on, but as soon as I was off i hopped on here to see how things went.

    I have made a soundcloud.

    These are the four things I played at the January zoundzalon.

    There was no February zoundzalon, but there will be one in March.
