Odes
"Odes" is Ted Milton's latest project, a collaboration with laptop-musician Sam Britton, and groups Ted Milton's various solo-recordings and collaborations outside of Blurt in a new show they have been taking on the road for the past year now.
Their 2007 European Tour was greeted with enthousiasm and gave Blurt fans an occasion to see and enjoy Ted Milton in a more intimate setting.
Sam Britton also recorded and mixed the new Blurt tracks "Cut It" and "Hat".
A limited edition book of poems with a CD and a 7" vinyl single was released in 2007, containing most of Ted's solo escapades of the past 25 years. "Odes" refers to Ted's first solo 12" "Ode: To Be Seen Trough Your Eyes", although in later years he also privately issued a cassette-compilation entitled "Odes" (in 1996) and a limited CD-Rom entitled "Odes", housed in a transparant envelope and a print of an old photograph of Ted's Mother on the disc. With Sam Britton (also known as Isambard Khroustaliov) Ted already staged "In Kharms Way", a performance based on the writings of russian absurdist writer Daniil Kharms.
