your'e stitting in the porch of the house near the sea in Shangani, on the outskirts of Mtwara. you're suffounded by the sounds of birds. more distant sounds of building and hammmering and power sawing are also heard. it's an old house surrounded by coconut palms, bananas, limes, lemons and soursops. a gate open onto a messy field down to mangroves and the sea. roosters from nearby yards, hooded crows, constant up and down of the weaver and sparrow colonies in the palm over the equipment shed. a motorcycle slowly over speedhumps on the newly tarmaced road. dogs on and off. scratching a mosquito bite. when species meet, Donna
#
Haraway tells us, they become what they are. a person develops in frictive encounters with others. you hear the daily flight from Dar es Salaam arriving late, coming in over the turquoise reefs - in over the red earth surrounds of Mtwara. when the crow starts cawings, all the other birds begin to call. the liquid notes are a bulbul - a bird of grdens and human habitation in the way of the robin and the hoopoe. the colonies in the palms are densely comprised of various weaver nests constructed by two species of weaver: [insert], and partially occupied
#
by Swahili sparrows. similarly to the co-growth of persons in close frictive relations with others, people develop in association with other species at various degrees of involvement and separation. some kind of Mzungu head off to work in their car. an oil or development person, who lives alone. living in suspension from their so called normal life, they will later reference these times as exceptional times: times of encounters.

you're sitting in the porch in the house on the outskirts of Mtwara, Tanzania - the sky is grey. it's close and it feels like rairn. the crows call then the weaver birds respond. the lemon tree is no sick, probably. it needs water. a light wind is coming up, moving restlessly through fronds of the trees, apertures cast in the walls of perhaps with bottles. the chattering of weavers and grey headed sparrows continues. light levels reduced, the sky appears lower, sound collect under the the lowering sky and resonate like in a bucket. the wind is coming up - disturbing the microphone - moving in heavy passes through the foliage. disturbance: anticipation. thinking of the revolutionary calendar, your thoughts pass out towards the tree and pile of rocks and come to an uneasy stop. now a big wind
pause
you made some tougher windscreen our of scraps of synthetic fur.
you put up the live stream: you were listening to sounds of morning in Mtwara, Tanzania
#
by the sea at Shangani, looking at the turquoise fringe of the sea. then it went quiet. you waited then looked around. the power was down. you do not even know what the power situation is in Mtwara, Tanzania, if the new gas exploitation is bringing reliable power to the people of Mtwara Tanzania, or whether it is being syphoned off to Dar es Salaam. you heard from P that Dr Shengena's guest house was burned with all its contents in the riots. the police were staying there, was why, P said. it's hard to say if the windscreens are interfering with the recording. if you had time to solder it would be great, you think. and to make things from scratch. it's raining across the street. you see the rain across the dirt road, then you smell the rain on the wind, but the rain is not falling around you. the swallow passes in under the porch and wriggles into its nest of pellets of red mud. then the rain comes: you hear it now - but these windscreens aren't enough from this wind. the palm branches wave back and forth, wet earth smells rise from the ground. the parms are holding out their leaves. so far the rain has barely darkened the soil a shade from pinkish red to pinkish brown. the weavers are calling again. a few drops spatter like static pops. a blue bajaji passes on the distant tarmaced road, slowing for the traffic humps. then 2 cars, one in each direction. then a grey car right to left with behind it a green bajaji, the sky has lightened but still overcast. it's risen, sounds opening. a bulbul sings a half phrase - with its distinctive liquid timbre - then another.
short exchange of words with Ash'edn. the sun is out now. Ash'edn says it will rain later. you go inside.
#
you leave the recorder on, with the notebook on the chair. but you're no longer there. you're inside oiling a tray and shaping rolls for when max and sasha and frank wake up.
a series of descending trills
the pop of a pen lid
a gust of wind.

Tursday 20 NOV 2014
you're sitting outside the house under the porch. Ash'edn is on the roof, throwing down palm branches and clearing the gutters. Rae and Jona arrive, collect fruit for their workshop, and they leave. ants started to fly last night after the rain but their flight did not become a storm. possibly the weather changed and they delayed their migration. a plane comes over. it seems that two planes are coming in to Mtwara each morning: one is the Precision Air flight from Dar es Salaam; the other you don't know. the battery ran out just before the guy across the road roars off in his car. - a period of thinking which is not productive. a carpenter been explores the swallow nest and the concrete lintels of the porch. Martin, the training organiser at Veta, was describinng the activities of the oli and gas consortium set to extract gas from a huge field extending from Mombasa down the coat to Mozambique. These gas companies eg BG, are funding a VSO programme to fill , as they see, a so called skills gap in the Mtwara workforce by training Veta students in trades and ways of working compatible with employment in the international oil and gas industry. Martin, as a Dutch VSO volunteer, is coordinating this programme within VETA. Mtwara people are largely excluded from the profits of the oil and gas boom. following the riots of 2013, various capital works have been completed, apparently to passify the people of Mtwara,
#
and a cement factory is being constucted on the the other side of the bay, which is supposed to create 12,000 new jobs in its construction, and ______ in its ongoing production phase. A cement plant! you think. The juxtaposition of those words certainly makes an impression, recalling the French 'planter' - (trans) to fuch. the leaves of the lemon tree have swelled and regained their gloss, you see suddenly. Ashin was right - it just needed water. it had not reached Permanent Wilting Point (PWP) as you were concerned it had its waxy cuticles protected it. the ants continue on the wire - I mean: the ants continue to travel to and fro in a line on the central horizontal wire of the chain link fencing that separates the yard from the red dirt road in front. At the same time - as you hear of renewed, organised demands for payment of the compensation established by the UN inquiry to the people of the Ogoni delta for the whoesaled destruction of their territory by combined activities of the O+G industry and their political representatives, you suspect the historical drivers in Mtwara, S Tanzania have moved on. marking a difference from the narrative lubes of Negarestani and the devil's ecrement poisoning the soils of Ogoni lands and polluting the soil and water of those Latin American regions unlucky enough to find it pooled in their underground basins like black toxic pus, Mtwara is subject ot a somewhat different set of gaseous discourse, tactically distinguished from the old oil stories by the word 'clean'. when we hear the word 'clean' we pause - unclear, really, what
#
is intended. is it the soft mother - Frank arrives. is this the soft mother, quickly wiping off the infand hand with a damp sponge (?)[we hear their voices, the infant, barely protesting] is it? sadly was are aware - I mean our awareness is accompanied by feelings of heaviness, sadness, and recession of hope - tha these domestic figures are uneasily housed, we can say, in larger structures, where the border between clean and dirt, pure and filth, etc, is a constantly re-charged and re inflamed partitiion.
#
first the inflamed orifices of the body, wired to the orifices of the evolving minds, growing in those structures: the pods of oil, old mineworks, middens, etc [diversion]. Especially in the United States - see For an End to the Judgement of God - we see well established conjunctions between anal anxieties and fears of faecal contamination. so we see recurring habits of walling off - conceptually and literally - of those materials identified as contaminants, at the same time as, of course, their virulent outbreak in everyday speech and daily behaviour, bug spray etc. with gas the situation is different. gas
#
has constantly been described as nothing much. flatulence is aside from the production / shame excremental complex. now perhaps this 'natural and seemingly inconsequential function comes into its own: merely by inserting a little pipe in the various anuses presented by the Earth, we are able to draw from these inflated pockets without interfering with the (re)productive functions. just as you of I can pass wind harmlessly without contamination or discomfort, we can now profit from the surplus gas accumulated in the earth's natural cavities. there will be no repeat of the lessons learned from the Ogoni experiences. these materials are clean, light, almost odourless and ready to power a new wave of clean, efficient equipment. there is no local opposition. All the local people of Mtwara, S Tanzania want is a piece of the action. They will have a cement factory with 12,000 jobs, whic his already visible for miles around. This factory will be on a large scale, the sound it produces, alone, will be formidable. The cement plant will be powered by natural gas via a pipe alread layed from the Mnazi Bay Marine Reserve at Msimbati; and construction will include construction of houses for workers. Those houses around the cement plant will house the cement plant workers. The sonic atomosphere will be intense in those inhabited areas, and the dust from the cement factory, and local extraction, proceeding in tandem, will be significant - for those workers. Entry into these workforces will be facilitated by sponsored up skilling programmes in local vocational colleges, with participation of some outside experts. failure to be educated precludes participation in the bubble of history expanding around you. you are a by-stander. with education comes compliance. and a desire to get a position. Health and Safety is a consideration, at a local level. And so is Hygiene. If you can understand what is meant by the word 'clean' - you're half way there.
what is it about weaver birds that is so compelling? of course their collective existence in the margins of human histories, on the edges and in association with human compounds. you walk down along these houses in a state of flux - nobody knows what's going on. we can say: in Mtwara we're only half awake in the nightmare of history. the wheeler dealers even are at a loss. the organs of information are ill informed and or deferential. the weaver birds, following the commencement of the season of light rains (mvua ndogo) are bringing fresh geeen strands and weaving new nests closely interlaced in the palm fronds. the old fenced yard and garden of some absent landlord are full of opportunistic companion species occupying transient niches in the vegetation. houses like the blue house acress the way have yards largely cleared of vegetation. they're all done up and done up and swept. the proprietor comes out each morning and
#
heads out in his car, in the direction of the cement plant under construction. 'when the house is finished, death moves in.'
- a big lizard with a bright blue hed stands ducking and freezing alternately on the wall by the gate - -
Max arrives.
now there is a big increase in insects - flying ants, grasshoppers, beetles et al - the birds are eating insects and building their nests. weaver birds with black heads are hunting through the lemon tree and the shrubs by the porch, angling their heads and flashing their
#
red eyes. doves call [descending line of dots diminishing in size and weight - shows falling diminuendo] from somwhere unseen
it is easily forgotten that palm swifts are flying in small groups constantly through the air spaces among the palms, occasionally with high pitched cries. the crows continue periodic circular flights. hornets and butterflies cross the zone in and around the porch from time to time. their proboscis and their stings [ovipositors] hang down. some animals compose [comprise?] each channel. taking each channel as the track or braided tracks through time of diverse Hartmanian objects, we can include the cement plant, the drilling rigs under construction in Singapore, the riots of May 2013, Dr Shengena's Forest Lodge - a project of long gestation and shor life - buildings, vehicles and organisations visible and invisible at different moments, entering the way a wasp crosses the porch or a sparrow famously crossed the mead hall in The Elder Bede. we can take that sparrow to be an actual bird, appearing during a performance, then frozen in flight. we see how these patterns become ripe for consolatory narrat-

24 NOV 2014
you're sitting in the porch at Paulo's sister's house in Shangani. the house is on a dirt track [road] off the Shangani coast road. you realize in various ways it is an island: its windows have not been knocked out and replaced by mirror flass and its trees have not been cut down. for example, a pair of wood hoopoes just flew up onto the electricity wire; then up the road. Paulo's sister was here from Dar es Salaam, supervising cleaning and refurbishment. She ordered a lemon tree to be chopped down, just as presumably she orderd the great spreading shade tree in the yard, under which people sat picking over beans while waiting, obliquely, for the gruits to ripen, to be cut down. it must have been a huge job. you can see where the stems have been cut with an axe. a few pieces are still lying in the yard along with some old children's bikes. they rsonate when struck like a pumpkin But all the coconuts and many other trees around the yard remain, leaning at different angles. coming back in the evening, seeing the house with
[sketch from a conversation with Goodluck George of a coral shelf]
its worn green roof fringed by palms, you are aware that the house is an island, in various ways, amid developments around it, you experience the sense of the lovely place (pahali pazuri) and the home you do not have. they will come back for Christmas from Dar es Salaam - a place where, as Paulo's sister says, people are clogged in traffic: all the time their brains are boiling with schemes for self advancement, their bodies are trapped in endless sweltering traffic queues (foleni) and the acrid air mixes with sea salt, charcoal smoke and petroleum fumes, cooling together. the sun rises a little before siz through the haze and from then on is applied like a burner to the atmosphere, creating a corrosive medium that irritates the eyes and skin of everybody who come there. a person comes back to the palm fringed house by the ocean at Mtwara to recuperate - to feel the feelings of home - and Paulo's sister had come back in advance to get everything cleaned up and prepated for that - the squirrel driven out from the chest of drawers, the screen mended, the plumbing repaired - everything turned out and swept and a mountain of washing. a small tree was felled, then she was gone.
further down the road is another old house, surrounded by bourganvillea and ______ plants. across the road is a blue house occupied by the amn who could be heard leaving, one minute before 8, on his way to work. back up the road the way that white man went, is a house on a raised mound overlooking the sea, with a distinctive character: entirely glazed in dark mirror glass and surrounded by a wall topped with razor wire, it stands out because of the radar mounted on a tall mast that revolves, as it seems, at all times. retaining the memory of a house by the sea, this building has been turned into an operational headquarters for the company providing security to the offshore rigs. in addition to the radar, you can see it has another mast with 3 or 4G antennas, WiMax and GPS - a complete private communications infrastructure. men rarely appear there. occasionally a man is seen doing something with a large barbeque machine in the yard. you remember this yard is devoid of plants, because one time Mama Mtupa showed it to you. it had a grim feeling to it even then, and you went back to the Kalili House in Kianga. like the beautiful house wit the murals where you stayed down the beach [insert murals videos] that house was also captured by Paulo. he ripped out the intricate natural ventilation system and installed mirrow glass and A/C. he painted over the murals with cream vinyl silk emulsion, enclosed the porch with the Ark painting and let it to a Danish NGO. after the riots, the compound was surrounded by fencing with posts in a zigzag pattern topped y electrified wires. the status of those Ark paintings. under the emulsion, speaking at it seeme so simply of the rising tide, remains speculative.
[reconstruction of a house pre-improvement / fortification]
yesterday evening you watched a big tug leave the harbour and the bass sound of further shipping continued into the night under the performance from Makonde Beach Club. the band sounded Light and bouncy, a little like Tarika - with voice of the vocalist floating over the band and the grumble of the shipping moving slowly into the narrow channel onto the open ocean. another sound has appeared now, higher - a generator maybe. then a bang, disturbing the weaver birds, a fly, a carpenter bee exploring the porch. two small squirrels come through the hole in the ballustrade onto the porch (unheard). crows, in circles around the Airtel mast. small lizards (unheard), spiders and flies on feet and legs. the air is almost completely still. from up on the roof at the back, you can see the flat sound is a refrigerated truck unloading in the compound of the security firm. its back door is open and the refrigeration unit is running, it looks like.
