Despite the lack of any concrete news regarding a follow-up to 2005's I Am a Bird Now, Antony has been a very busy man over the past year or so, and his schedule doesn't look to let up at all in the future. In fact, he's doing so much that it's almost impossible to keep up. Fortunately, a Secretly Canadian website update offers a peek into Antony's diary:

Today

Bask in the glow of successful collaborations with Lou Reed (those "Berlin" concerts -- New York City ones soon to be made into a Julian Schnabel-produced film), Joan as Police Woman (as backing vocalist on last year's Real Life), and Current 93's Michael Cashmore (on mini-album The Snow Abides, along with Cashmore's bandmate David Tibet).

Rewatch both movies from last year that featured my songs with the Johnsons: Alessandro Angelini's L'Aria Salata and Paolo Sorrentino's L'Amico di Famiglia.

Continue editing the film version of "Turning" with Charles Atlas. Wonder how we will cut over sixty hours of touring and interview footage.

February 24-25

Wish conductor Gavin Bryars and the singers and musicians of Opera North the best in their performances of my and composer Nico Muhly's score for one of Shakespeare's sonnets. Send a thank-you note to the Royal Shakespeare Company, and try to make it to the Courtyard Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon for one of the concerts if I can.

March 9

Play at the Brooklyn Academy of Music with the Brooklyn Philharmonic Orchestra. Not sure if Muhly's directing or not, but collaborating with him for this show sure was swell.

Spring

New albums! Buy Björk's new one, which features my duet with her, and continue recording my third album with the Johnsons. Try to expand upon my current theme: "ghosts and nature."

Tour Europe?

Summer

Visit Belsay Manor to see how the sound installation I worked on with William Basinski turned out.

Buy new bathing suit.
