Tokyo Reverse - Live [Slow TV movie concert, 2014]

Yes, it really is an almost uninterrupted 9-hour track 🙂 I usually put it on just before setting off in the morning when I tour with my bike, and when the music stops in the afternoon, it's my cue to stop cycling for the day.

Here's an excerpt of the movie (Tokyo Reverse) this concert was the soundtrack of. Sadly, the entire movie isn't available on Youtube, but it's worth a watch if you like slow TV:

Meet Charles le Chêne

and meet Nono le Noisetier also:

Charles le Chêne is an oak tree and Nono le Noisetier is a hazelnut tree. I gave them French names because they're both from French-speaking Belgium.

But I planted them here near the Arctic circle. Oak trees and hazelnut trees aren't indigenous to these parts, but there are a few that eke out a living here.

I love oak trees and hazelnut trees. I grew up with them, and I miss seeing them badly here in our new home in the North. Our gardener reckons they have a 1 in 5 chance of surviving the winter, and if they do, they should be okay.

I hope they make it. If they do, they'll grow very very slowly here compared to their counterparts in Western Europe. I'll be long dead when Charles le Chêne and Nono le Noisetier are fully grown, and I like thinking whoever lives here in 50 years will enjoy fresh hazelnuts under the shade of the oak tree and wonder who had the funny idea of planting these trees here long ago.
