SA -TTTTTTT EXPLAINED

I was on a bus in mid April 2025 and saw some unusual graffiti on the window at the back of the top deck. I took a few photos and really enjoyed the way the background to the graffiti had changed due to the bus's motion so I took more, a few hundred in total.

As the journey continued, going from small town to city, occasionally words cropped up in the background of the photos. The instances of this increased mainly due to a higher number of street signs, adverts and graffiti and then, at the end of the journey, many shop signs way more than I could capture with the glitchy camera I had on my phone. Thinking about the words appearing in the images I then came up with the idea for this project before my journey's end.

I decided to use the words in the background as search terms to find audio to use in creating this project. I used the exact words or letters (there are just fragments of a word in some of the photos) as search terms in Soulseek and from the search results I selected music to use as martial to create the final tracks. I deliberately selected sound or music that I had never heard before discounting any search results I was already familiar with.

The artwork of each SA - TTTTTTT release is a photo from that one journey. The photos will be presented in the order in which they were taken. I am sticking to the sequence of photos and also strictly working on one release at a time. I am not starting on the next until the one I am currently working on is uploaded to Bandcamp. This is an attempt to maintain the "here and now" feel of the project that was so important at it's inception.

This project will most likely last a long time. There are 79 images I have identified that are potentially usable in total although the final number of releases might end up being less depending on the search results I get from my audio searches. How I use the sounds I find as I go along will be influenced by what is happening in my life at that particular time and the sound and style of the releases may change. Only time will tell.

I will add background info about each release as they are uploaded along with any personal reflections that seem relevant or potentially interesting at that particular point.
