Gramática parda [NoTD][POESIS]



The lingo love wrote was a minotaur,
A champion sought, redacted, perishable
deformed as a sheep with two names, bodies
unstable as windows in a swelling void

no number could count or king,
ruler of naught, ought impacted, the fable -
a dirigible glides by currents invisible
elevated, untouchable, [01]

sugary text extruded to mean
people round [n + 1] round assembling, magnetized
by vocalic alphabet enabled, a counting
signal - a rain falls in this garden - 1 AND/OR 2
COMMAND: KILL/
in Brooklyn, collapsing, molten
with a view from a bridge, represented
ass a mural or zeroes plus ones
transmission intercepted < collective
without water, muttering, dirty
words, touring a system, rats
of the third rail, pylons, beams
light, cursed. TRUE AND/OR FALSE
"never forget"

STOP REQUESTED: TITLE
HEADING: If you [C] a corporation [space
> on the Road
> from the East (-
>> KILL HIM
[fax noise, END PROGRAM]

Superlucky Purr #1

The point of origination in this dimensional sound sequence [looped for presentation], titled "Superlucky Purr #1" is my kitten purring. The general scope of the exploration is the interplay of electronic intervention, vibration, selective filtering and language as an extension of body function. "Superlucky Purr #1" consists of digital and analog elements. The assembly of elements is primarily computer-enabled. The Sender-Receiver progression in the piece is complex, the end-user being the gallery guest.

"Superlucky Purr #1" isn't an audio recording (movement of air on the diaphragm of a microphone) as such. I was more interested in capturing the underlying rhythms of the purr, so I used a contact mic to record the vibrations. The kitten is situated now as a hollow-body electronic "musical" instrument. I also recorded other contextual or proximal vibrations and juxtaposed them with the purr. I set the secondary [sphere] focus on the ambient vibration as a constant, either naturally-occurring or artificial , but generally not sonically detectable or otherwise filtered by the "human ear."

Inspiration for "Superlucky Purr #1" was provided by the field recordings of Bernie Krauss, the vanishing sounds of North American frogs compiled by Charles M. Bogert, and artist-engineer Zach Poff, who taught me how to build and use contact mics.


Notations:

The rhythmic environmental subtext of my domestic space operates as the foundation for sonic architecture in "Superlucky Purr #1." For comparison, I considered how all of the sounds in an unmolested natural environment seem perfectly arranged to fit like puzzle pieces on an audio spectrum
