Furball 3

Mrs Monk reminded me of John Cage yesterday and found some ancient black and white archive movie of him making music out of domestic appliances. In that sprit I made these noises out of sounds made by Seamus, a cat lapping milk and purring. They may not be harmonically sound choices by Seamus but they certainly follow a rhythm, or a pattern which came entirely from Seamus. Yes, I added a bit of me doing some hee bee gee bees but these sounds are nevertheless 90% Seamus the cat with whom I bonded every day, but who is no longer with us. I am staying alive for the time being.
