Carla Cryptic

Dear Carla

Thanks a lot for your contribution to "Alyonka-Sputnik" collection and the artist's traing card! I received them last Wednesday, the day of our come back from Italy. You can see your envelope and your post card among the sendings of other mail artists. Soon I'll post them on the blog of "Alyonka" project.

Wait for my letter and ATC!

Hi Carla
Thanks for the peace. I don't know why my art program still works and your disappeared, may be a problem of the sercer.

All I have is a white line around red square with an x in it

What a wonderful flowers! I love them... Thank you Carla!
Have a nive weekend!
Take care,
Lancillotto

Bullseye, I will be cautious. Great color

Hi Carla,

Hmmmm. Hummmmm can certainly be a problem as it is very disturbing when listening to the voice. It is best to try to find out where it is coming from and eliminate it rather than record with it then try and remove it.
When recording poetry I have two hints, rehearse the reading well before going to recording and listen carefully to what has been recorded several times to make sure the sound/reading is what you want people to hear. You would be surprised at how many recordings I receive which are so bad I am unable to restore them and I am an expert in sound restoration.
Of the 49 CDs VEC audio has published about half are spoken word/audio drama/sound poetry. All my poetry is written to be spoken. Poets were speaking their poetry for thousands of years before the development of paper! At your request I will send you a CD or two of some VEC words.
Were you aware that the Mail-art Dada Skank song on my page has a link to the original recording? It's in red at the top of the song.
Thanks for your contact.
Best greetings

Thank You, Carla for kind words about my Hesse artistamp

Carla that sounds good. Your reading is perfect. I suspect that if you hadn't been busy removing the hum there would have been more cream in your voice, a meatier sound, but the clarity of sound has a character most acceptable. One of the horror trips for me at the moment is that often people are listening on laptop computer loudspeakers or cheap little headsets, but in this case the sound you have produced is probably perfect and will survive such treatment! I have my computer connected to a Denon amp running Auratone monitors (I think Auratone is made in your neck of the woods) It's late and I didn't dare give your poem a loud test but I will tomorrow.
I dropped some CDs in the post for you today, please let me know when they arrive.
I'll come back when I've had another listen.

I played the poem again today only this time I gave it some welly (English expression for bloody loud) and the sound is good, however I do miss a little of the warmth of lower frequencies. Considering your success you should get the sound system sorted out and record more... I sense a CD in the offing.

I wuz wearin'me green wellies today because I spent an hour on me allotment didn't I?
Thank you for marrying a Brit, my wife did the same!

Ciao CARLA, thank you! I'm very sorry I've been very busy in the last few days and a bit tired as well... that's why I couldn't follow you on Facebook...
Have a nice weekend!
Lancillotto

Dear Carla, am sorry you can't sleep enough... I take some pills every night to sleep good... be patient... I know how it is bad not sleeping well and enough... I've lots of palpitation after chemotheraphy...we are fighting against illness and I think we finally win!
Have a nice evening. here is 8:57 p.m. ...
Lancillotto

Thanks Carla,
I take EN 1mg/ml against anxiety and I sleep all night long...but ask your doctor... I've been ill since 1992... so be hopeful...
Besos,
Lancillotto

Hi Carla, Thank you very much for that wonderful postcard. Loved it! I will be down in the Bay Area at some point in the Summer and I really would love to say hello and hang out for a little while. I am getting ready to drive to Chicago now for a little adventure, but after that I will be down in your area to visit my folks and friends and I will let you know when that is. Test

Hello Carla!

Hello Carla, I Thought that I had already told you as much as I have liked your sheets, they arrived to month principle. Do I believe that I left you a note in some blog..? I am not sure...
I adore your stamps, I like the xylography and that Hispanic or Mexican air that you gave him... Thank you thank you for your stupendous and erotic sheets
¡¡¡ you make great stamps. !!!

Yes. Your music is good and the person who made the comment that you could do better with better recording equipment was correct. You obviously have the touch and you sure as mushrooms are fungus have the voice. I'm impressed Carla. Go forward.

Hello Carla!
I am glad you enjoyed the work.
I will be happy to receive your work too!
Greetings from Brazil!

Hi Carla,
I'm glad my envelope arrived at your place and you liked it. (I was a bit worried because they took quite a long time, and I thought it might have something to do with the ancient stamps I used; I even got an envelope returned to my house without any obvious reason).
As you say, both lino and eraser cutting have their (dis)advantages. I like the erasers for the small stuff.
Thanks for the link to your songs. At the moment of writing I listen to your singing the Valentine song. Your really a multitalented person :-)
Regards, greetings, Jan-Willem

hi carla

I just wanted to tell you those block prints you posted are beautiful. I loved 'em.

I have a load of friends up there, and have visited the country 17 times, if i get the money together i intend to buy a small house there and spend more time there in the land of Ice and fire. If you look at my videos on Youtube (search vecdor) you will see that i also make art there! best of all I have friends who have a sheep farm in the most remote area of Iceland so I get fantastic isolation and solitude each year.... good for the soul! Iceland is a paradise for bird watchers and geologists and the Vikings are the coolest race i know. I'll leave some space in my backpack for you to ride along with me OK? Photo is from my bedroom on the sheep farm. best greets

The Sea from above..... (flying from the insel to the main-land in Greece) 2008

All is well, enjoy the ovation and flowers, and take your bow.

Dear Carla, I am also glad to meet you and your fine work here! I read your words on your page. Yes, (cognition and)
communication are the beginning of all human life...
Greetings HeMi

You are welcome, but please don't wriggle the back-pack is heavy and awkward enough as it is! I was considering a blog but where I will be there are no telephones or Internet cafes. The photo is by Karli of me with Maggers (Magnús Pálsson) on a bright May day two years ago.
Of course I will take the cameras with me so sing sweetly for me Carla and I'll send you a CD when back here.

I tried to find the Thinker but I don't know where it has gone, so here goes a lotus with love

Wow! did you make that ? it looks like a dream catcher

Got it Carla, MailArt martha is one I do not miss, great style and audacity.

Hi Carla,
this side is working well. I wanted to see pictures from "Day of Dead" but now I read that the administrator had canceld something. Sorry for my english. Have a nice day - Wolfgang.

I think the poem is very good.
Mood above perfection every time.
I would have knocked a few db off the music or perhaps added a gentle echo to it, the reading is A1 fine, any slower and it could have become tacky, right now it is true.. The purpose is correct.
Thanks for the link, you're doing real good Carla. Touch my soul again any time you want.

Good. Don't fret about those who drop off.

thanks so much for coming last night, your support meant the world to me, you are a special special wonderful-filled human being, and i feel so lucky to have you in my life...and please thank the teddy graham for bringing you down from the north side =0)
hugs

Carla that is really very good, I have downloaded it.
I'm still mulling over the 'half-blood'reason for hatred! How bloody sad.
Last night I watched a documentary on the Beatles and saw Americans burning their albums when John mentioned that the Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Spare us!
I can't listen to the Beatles since John was shot to death, So sad for all that we have lost.
I watched the several hours of documentary and went to bed with very mixed up feelings, glad to have lived through those times, sad that they slipped by.

Glad to be in touch again Carla. Fast Still Lives

Come see Pierpaolo Limongelli's video
which is about his art, including mail art, and which is accompanied by one of my recent collaborative songs (with Drakonis). It's really cool and I'm glad to have been a part of it indirectly. :)
