SOUNDTRACK for an acupuncture treatment

Musical soundtrack for acupuncture on a hot summer day in a chinoiserie room above the streets of Kings Cross  thankyou Margaret Bruce and her resident DJ John Archer

Track 1. Theme music by Michael Galasso from In the Mood for Love by Wong Kar-wai
A little bit of Hong Kong in the heart of Kings Cross

Track 2. Bahia by Anouar Brahem
John introduces Anouar Brahem to me and I introduce Shazam to John

Track 3. Anche Melelo Ney Betolo by Alemayehu Eshete and Dadimos Band
A little post-acupuncture delerium


SOUNDTRACKS inspired by the Sudanese boy travelling on the Western Line 
whose gold Soul brand headphones leaked so much sound I could hear what he was listening to 
and Shazam for identifying exactly what those sounds were 
[Who's Gon Stop Me by JayZ & Kanye West]

SOUNDTRACK New Year's Day 2014

Music that floated into consciousness to create the soundtrack for a roadtrip on the first day of a new year

Track 1. Making plans for a roadtrip / Chinese Dream by Caitlin Reilly 
Conjuring up image memories from the streets of Shanghai and intimate conversation cutting through the sensory overload. Here's more from Caitlin Reilly's Slow Songs for a Fast World CD

Track 2. Driving down the coast / Happy by Pharrell Williams
That's the official 4:08 min clip, but there's also a 24-hour version, presumably inspired by Christian Marclay's The Clock. If you'd like to see more of that clip at 12:05 of Richard Gere getting dressed to a soundtrack of Smokey Robinson and the Miracles here he is

Track 3. Driving back to the city through the Adelaide Hills / Perfect Form by Cyril Hahn and Shy Girls
At last, rain broke the spell of the heavy heat and humidity


SOUNDTRACKS inspired by the Sudanese boy travelling on the Western Line 
whose gold Soul brand headphones leaked so much sound I could hear what he was listening to 
and Shazam for identifying exactly what those sounds were
