POOR SAP, LUCKY SAP

2009-11-27T13:45:00.000-08:00

Poor Sap from "Cotton Candy" an unreleased internal memo cdr 2002. (improvised mess w/ moments of joy)

the last performance of "Poor Sap" occurred with FWOE as a quieter, seated electro-acoustic ensemble, accompanying an animated powerpoint slide projection in March 2005 at Flywheel, Easthampton. The music was a set of improvised movements, at least slightly more practiced than one hears in the most primitive version in the link above.

currently working on the 2009 version of "Poor Sap" - including a collaboration with our foley sound artist friend Olivier Thys in Brussells. this will be part of De Player's "8 inch Series" in Rotterdam - with the European debut of this fresh version on December 19, 2009.

play this thru speakers, then record the speakers. will this nested MP3 player thingy work? here's a fragment of a movement from one of three new albums we're working on:

Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One

2008-03-10T20:49:00.000-07:00

please watch William Greaves' film: "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One" (criterion DVD release).

shot in 1968 in central park with three film crews and a couple of actors all trying to get through a flimsy dialogue with little help from the director(greaves). everything falls apart. a bus with square wheels. what is composed and what is coaxed and what is totally spontaneous? electric miles davis soundtrack. an ugly disaster of improvisation or a sophisticated multilayered composition? also pulling at opposing ends are that of a single organizing hand and that of the will of the collective. discord is fostered on set. radio interference on the mics sound like minimal theramin solos. self-reflexivity in the most obvious of ways, but fresh for the time. is greaves really directing the movie or is he acting as a director? is he bad at both?

as my noodle roasts over this movie, i am reminded of a moment of reflection during practice last where the idea that the FWOE creative process and aesthetic could be the ultimate (utopian) realization anarchy & art - where craft, practice, accidents, structure, improvisation, & consensus (coming together of individual & group) are the music. images of the fantastical are illustrated by scraped-together by fragments of the mundane. ordinary instruments are used to coax unfamiliar arrangements of sound. of course, i didn't say those things, i'd just parroting what i remember from our conversation. but i'd love to see them elaborated upon / corrected in this here blog.

just watch "Symbiopsychotaxiplasm: Take One" and get back to me.

2008-02-01T15:04:00.000-08:00

"Sometimes if it goes up in the right places and down in the right places, it's allright. We reference Ornette Coleman's harmolodic theory a lot. The general idea that the song is created by the interrelationship of the parts, the direction that an individual string player's parts might move up or down, but not necessarily a direct relationship. And if we hit upon something then we can work with that. And if we don't, we still feel like there's this evolving line."

Rembrandt Self-portrait as an Oriental Potentate with a Kris

As in other works, Rembrandt makes himself the model and dons exotic apparel. A kris is an Indonesian sword but this one is unusual because there is only a wavy blade on one side. Rembrandt used a kris in other works. In his large painting The Blinding of Samson, Samson's eye is pierced with a kris. ject was that word we were using on the first tour this summer, sensing the inner meanings...?

Kenzo Okuzaki's wedding speech from the documentary "The Emperor's Naked Army Marches On" by Kazuo Hara

"This is the wedding of Mr. Otagaki & Miss Sano. My name is Okuzaki & I'm delighted to act as go-between... After graduating from Kobe University, the groom fought the establishment. He was subsequenly arrested. I the go-between, killed a (real estate) broker, shot a sling at Emperor Hirohito, then scattered obscene flyers denouncing him. I served 13 years & nine months in solitary confinement. Three convictions for accounts of murder, assault, & obscenity. This match was made possible because the groom & I both fought against the Establishment. This is a rare wedding... For many of you this country might mean alot, but judging from my experience, not only japan, but any other countries... Nation is a wall between men. It's a big wall that prevents us from joining together. I also consider family a wall. It isolates human beings from eachother & cuts ties. In othr words, it's against divine law. So I intend to continue attacking it. Happy Wedding!"

Pedro Costa retrospective at Amherst Cinema.

"Where does your hidden smile lie?" = film-makers Straub and Huillet locked in deep process in the editing room. the arguments & ruminations are over apparent minutae, which always spills over into core stuff. spilled milk becomes the flawed dairy industry, or so this metaphor goes.

it's illuminating to watch old friends/collaborators spar in such confines and oddly reaffirms our often-frustrating 5-way-fwoe-process. maybe we are not such knuckleheads afterall.
