Typesetting the music of Linn Lorkin
I am just delighted to have been working with jazz singer Linn Lorkin over the last two and a half years, typesetting 100 of her songs - her life’s work - from her hand-written manuscripts.
Linn spent much of her professional life in New York and Paris. She’s writing her memoir and these songs will accompany it. While I haven’t yet read a word of her memoir, through her lyrics and the stories she tells when I visit, I’ve learned so much about her and her life.
I can’t wait for this music to be available. Some of her wonderful song titles include:
Ponsonby Road Mambo
I'm From Tokoroa
Helping Dad Milk The Cows
I Should Be A Star In Las Vegas But Tonight I’m Sleeping In Grey Lynn
Linn has recently put most of her recordings on Bandcamp. Check out the link below, enjoy her music, and support her if you can.
Below is a before and after collage of some of the manuscripts. (click to enlarge)
