We used to engage in a technique called 'Eye Scan' in the advertising industry. Example. Someone would sit at a flat table or desk and be presented with a tabloid newspaper. We would then have a film camera set up in front of them to monitor where the eye was led to regarding headlines, pictures, text and advertising as they turned the pages. This technique resulted in Page 3 being on the right of a DPS ( double page spread ) as a key target eye scan area for glam models to be placed. I suppose one could argue that the eye would find them on the base of the left hand page but l don't recall us discussing that. Sounds quite simple, and this was where we were at in the early eighties. There would be a varied audience for this practice and they were paid similar rates to those who took place in some market research programmes. History now. Today we monitored facial expression on two students reading the first two sections of 'Urban Werewolf'. They looked perplexed. Thought they might. |

I have had an AI lyrics to music induction. It's quite a trip. It is moving forward as a fast pace. What occured to me is that you can make AI demo's from the melody patterns that are contained in the structure of the lines, words and syllables. Lyrics don't usually have much value on their own but AI may change this. We did a short piece with a female vocalist in English and the verses in French. Even the first two attempts sounded ok. You can select tempo, instruments, mood etc. TV and radio jingles are simple - and quite catchy. 🙂🙂 |

URBAN WEREWOLF This is a first draft....or the opening sequence to one. It is memory and dream based so won't make much sense ( which is my intention ). Urban werewolf On the rampage The precinct Your Babylon The subway The Hanging Gardens Akkadiem street talk From the Third Dynasty of Ur You engage In malpractice Fare dodging Petty theft Proudly stating 'I am twenty five per cent L E S B I A N Too hot to handle!' The all too familiar pose Sitting Back against a burning wall With a fixation On pixelated images Of Sharon Tate Hole gouged in face Jaw line slashed Pregnant body Drenched Blood red Manson #Satantic cat call Sexy Sadie on the ranch Dancing on the Helter Skelter Step into my dream Maiden Lane Summer Seventy Six Sneak me in Through a side door Of the Royal Opera House Around 3am Let's go back stage Sit on the boards a while The building creeks Costumes sleep Ghostly figures leap From a painted back drop Take the stage And the orchestra plays We met at midnight You never said your name Led me away And l felt This overwhelming compulsion To eat you Sink my teeth Into your flesh Deep Below the surface Of your being So we travel Through time zones A semi in Woking And you put on The Stereo MC's And it's 'Deep down and dirty' The soundtrack of our lives Play fight scratch bite A rite to passage? Then that cursory glance I want to draw blood Spit you out Across the skyline And you crash Into the fifties wardrobe In your fishnet body suit Then in the play park It's - 'Mummy Mummy look up in the sky' But mummy is face timing And the chance just passes her by Miriam was in the kitchen Saw an Angel In a swirl of mist Wiped her eyes Took a second glance But Sometimes in this life You only get one chance [Post edited 15 Dec 12:59]

We are explaining the origination of the Iron Maiden logo with filming on location beginning in January or February. I have been checking some exchanges we have had recently and can confirm that the letters that made up the master logo were initially traced out for position to allow spaceing for the logo to be stencil sprayed onto equipment and speakers etc. Even Steve Harris appears to have no recall of this. Nor Dave Murray as far as l know. It's possible that a mainstream television company may pick up on this. Most of the interest is coming from South America. This is a very small part of a very big story but essential that millions of Maiden fans know what happened in June 1977. |

A little add on to the tech revolution. During 2005 l was in the company of a band - Death in Vegas in London and we were discussing how they had used a number of guest vocalists on a recent album ( Scorpio Rising ). The ISDN sound file mode had been around for a while at the time but l was very much off pace on it's capability. One of the questions l put to them was 'What was it like working with Liam Gallagher?' They said 'Oh, we hadn't met him at the time, sent him a demo over ISDN and he sent back one example of the lead vocal which was perfect and it went straight onto the track'. They used the same mode of recording with Iggy Pop too who was in New York and he kindly gave them six variations of the vocal to select from. COVID created an even more concentrated time portal for creatives and musicians to experiment and that practice is even more prevalent now. Exciting but also troubled times.. |

Hello Phil, your daughter in law's use of AI is a perfect example. Some people from our generation may be reluctant to delve into AI capability. The bullet points aspect is of interest because l was briefed ( pre AI ) to write a simplistic outline of Ian Brown's ( former Stones Roses's ) career by an American artist management team for a US audience - that being a little different from a British audience. He said 'Just do it as a list of bullet points', which is what l did in 2006. I don't think AI was being used in '06 but the American rational for written work interested me. My associates, who l met up with on Thursday looked quite perplexed when l attempted to explain how you can make a soundtrack by just keying the words into pop up boxes. I sent demo copies of the work to several record company owners and even they couldn't believe how the work had been created without humans in a recording studio. I should add though that l went through quite a long process to find a voice that suited the work. The female voice from Ukraine was perfect and l ended up writing for her voice at times. I have been writing non stop this year as anyone who follows this thread will be aware. As you rightly point out - copywriting is most definitely something that is available through AI - this is the most incredible step forward. |

A few of us dinosaur creatives had a seasonal meet up yesterday. It is not just me who misses the vibe and energy of days long past....one of our group is doing creative and design work at no cost to keep his mind active. For my part l was quite pleased to report that l have written one million words in a calendar year and that l have experimented with a number of AI packages - something none of my compatriots have attempted as yet. The staff who were serving us must have thought we had dropped off another planet as the terminology / speak we engage in still is alien to the new breed. The seventies and eighties was a golden era in advertising but l wish l could start it all again in the 'now' because the advances in tech would make our work much easier and less time consuming. I saw something quite special this week while re- watching 'Once upon a time in Hollywood' ( QT ), it was the street mime sequence by 'Pussycat' - l would love to find out how that evolved while filming....it may have been the actress who devised that on the shoot....unless QT was behind it....either way it was the best mime piece for teardrops l have ever seen. |

So we appear to have two local companies who have pledged £350,000 and £200,000 for three year deals at Maldon and Tiptree that include kit branding, stadium re- naming, ground signage and player sponsorship and the like? All this for a club that are attracting around 150 fans to home matches? If that. The new Sporting Director ( should any deal go through ) is none other than Mitchell Cowling? Robbie Cowling sponsors the Colchester Community Stadium and the shirts. Colchester United have not been able to attract any major sponsors since the days of The Weston Homes Community Stadium. It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. I am trying to imagine a football club where the background staff which may include in excess of 35 kitchen personnel and an additional gathering of individuals along with the coaching and playing members may outnumber the fan base. Two promotions would put Maldon and Tiptree at Conference South level. The sponsorship packages seem top heavy even at that level. It did appear that a cash injection may have occured a few weeks ago - maybe this is linked Or maybe not? 😳😳 [Post edited 13 Dec 17:40]

Taken from 'Ipswich Zero 6' This is a short passage from the 'Reflections' section towards the end of the book. It is Christmas Day, 2006... I walked past 79 London Road, the house where the accused was living. I know these properties to be split into flats and bedsits. It is a world where people arrive then disappear and are never seen again. There is still a white tent outside and the scaffold and tarpaulin remain. There are two police officers at the front of the property. One a WPC. They seem to be sharing some kind of joke. At the back of the property l could see two other police officers. The media have all gone. No need to tape the road off anymore. Just a few days ago there were media people here from all over the world. Just when l was getting to the exit of this part of the zone something finally caught my eye. In the garden of 111 London Road there were five candles burning brightly, protected from the breeze. I wanted to knock on the door and thank those who lived there for their consideration, but it was Christmas morning and perhaps best if l did not disturb them. I crossed Handford Road and went back to my car, passing the portable white information centre that the police had set up about ten days ago. The door was shut. It seemed to be unmanned.
