I'm down to be doing a 1/100th of a recording by Matthew Herbert this Friday and I can't make it...
No boss, I have a wedding to attend and the date on this recording event has only just been confirmed.
I therefore need someone to take my place or else the recording will not work...!!!
You need to be available late Friday evening.
You need to be able to get to The British Museum in Bloomsbury, London
And you need to bring the following..
one supermarket plastic bag
one copy of the sun newspaper
one copy of a celebrity gossip magazine (eg heat etc)
one book about power that had an impact on your life
one rechargeable battery
one pound coin
one £50 note (or £20, £10,or £5) the higher the value, the better. (you get to keep it, it's just for making noise)
one empty plastic water bottle
one set of keys
one kit kat
one bible
one mobile phone that can receive text messages
one pen and one bit of paper
one toy soldier
one working alarm clock (not one that plays music)

Todays message
dear noisemaker,
just emailing to confirm the date, time and venue of the noise recordings for matthew herbert that you kindly signed up for. we've had to move the date back by a day to this Friday (2nd May), and we plan to meet at 2115. the venue is the british museum in bloomsbury (Great Russell Street, London, WC1B 3DG), and we'd be grateful if you could bring the following items (below), as matthew mentioned in his previous email. we'd also be extremely grateful if you could let us know if you don't think you'll be able to attend and make some noise with us, so that we can locate some replacements in time. we also respectfully ask that you be on time as the british museum has been kind enough to open up especially for us, and we only have a limited period of time in which to get everything recorded...
any questions or problems please email info@accidentalrecords.com and we'll do whatever we can to be of service. otherwise we look forward to meeting you on friday!

Matthew's Earlier Message:
dear friendly volunteer person
thank you very much for agreeing to be part of the recording process of the album i am currently working on.
it means a great deal to me that people are enthused about being part of a creative process rather than simply being asked to consume a finished product.
we will contact you nearer the time with the specific time and location (it will be sometime in the next few weeks, probably may 1st). it is very important that if you can't make it, then you must let us know. everything on the album is recorded in measures of 100, so if 3 of you can't make it, i need to fill those spaces. please also be on time as, we will only have limited time in which to record these objects.
so, for the recording, please can you prepare one of EACH of the following items.
the record is, in part, a protest about the excesses of a british consumer culture so unless you really struggle to find a particular object, please can you only bring used/secondhand items. it would also be preferable if they were ones that you used in your daily life.
one supermarket plastic bag
one copy of the sun newspaper
one copy of a celebrity gossip magazine (eg heat etc)
one book about power that had an impact on your life
one rechargeable battery
one pound coin
one £50 note (or £20, £10,or £5) the higher the value, the better. (you get to keep it, it's just for making noise)
one empty plastic water bottle
one set of keys
one kit kat
one bible
one mobile phone that can receive text messages
one pen and one bit of paper
one toy soldier
one working alarm clock (not one that plays music)
your passport (you take this away with you, don't worry)
one pair of scissors
you obviously get to keep everything that you bring, but we will give you a couple of extra objects to use and then take home. along with a signed copy of the record, this will be full and final payment for your contribution. sorry to be so abrupt, but that needs to be there for legal reasons.
please send us your postal address if you want the signed promo copy of the album when it's finished and a telephone number to contact you should there be a last minute change of venue (when we have one)
at this stage, if you no longer wish to be involved, please let us know.
thank you again, and see you all soon
matthew
