Dolcie, at night, goes running into the woods. But why?

The below track contains a field recording of a long neglected play area in Frient Country Park, around abouts here.
You never see anybody there, and it has an eeriness about it. Maybe this is where the likes of Dolcie plays.
On this particular night Dolcie had been detained and was under supervision, because the community was concerned of her disappearing until sunrise, and sleeping through the day.
Having returned from my field recording trip of Frient Park, I played back my results to the morose Dolcie. She slowly went into a trance, wandered over to the piano and began to play. She had never played before. The cat, as usual, was relaxing under the piano. The piano was recorded from the cat’s purrspective.

Dolcie, at night, goes running into the woods. But why? / Through a whirlwind of litter, Emerges Dolcie, With eyes of glitter

Maybe it should have been ‘Sha la la’ instead of ‘La la la’? Ah well, moving on…

Gene Chandler cover

Here’s a cover of Gene Chandler’s ‘Nothing Can Stop Me’. There was no intention for this to be a dub reggae thing, but due to some bad vocal performances by a certain community member, and a seance that went all weird, it was best to go with that style.
