Heapings - Geosynchronous Drain album release
This week I released an album of acoustic and voice songs that I'm using to explore repetition. Historically, I'm not a patient musician, and my musical output over the years could easily be characterized as frenetic and squiggly intensity. Please check it out and let me know what you think. It's available on the Big Streamers, but also on bandcamp where you can buy and support this music with cash directly:
Here are the lyrics for each song that has them (2 are instrumental, and one of those is frogs, not me). They are a collection of original and found words, embracing Burroughs/Gysin the cut-up technique:
Translucent Glass Set Beneath the Skin
Stretching toward impossible
Singularity
Mutual gravitational
Collapse
Hexagonal wax
Cells harvest
The limit between abstraction
And figuration
Balancing upon spheres
Which bear the symbols
A dagger surrounded
By blue light
A trio of interlocking
Circles
Dot and a squiggle which
Conjured an insect's leg
Azure hand with a fanged mouth
At the center of the palm
Three concentric circles
Each a more intense blue
Almost impossible
To gaze upon
Translucent glass
Set beneath the skin
Pulses Into
Right eye
Telescope
Left eye
Microscope
Attaching
The electrodes
Nerves burn
With electric light
Pulses into
Pulses into
Pulses into
Aural sensors
An echo of a
Scream inside your mind
Transmitted
Voice to your mind
Concurrent
Ringing in your ears
20 miles
20 miles
20 miles
Of decaying road
Geosynchronous Drain
Plastic staring eyes
And amputated tearducts
The excavator pulling
Punched out computer tape
Coded suppressed emotions
A faulty pseudo cosmos
A drain
A drain
A drain
A drain
A geosynchronous drain
Malignant design
If i could just insert
A reality chip
All would be revealed
An inferior god
A clock
A clock
A clock
A clock
Flinging burning photons
In widening circles
This Empire is an Endless Formless Ruin
Mind relieved
Temporal
Contacts and
Context
Subject
To the rigid
Law and Order
of a
A
Disintegrated
And aloof
Cosmos
Cosmic body
Cosmic body
Cosmic body
Cosmos
The desperate moment
When we discover
This empire
Which had seemed
To us the sum
Of all wonders
Is an endless
Formless ruin
Corruptions gangrene
has spread too far
To be healed
by our sceptor
We let our guard down
Symphony of Flesh for Flesh
Dark metal threaded with silver
Mirror obsidian skin
The pattern of which the future
Will adhere
Without Foundation
Pulling hyperboloids
Through a holographic door
The door is a body
The door is a body
Symphony of flesh for flesh
Symphony of flesh for flesh
Stamped by an ancient wisdom
In front of a sealed tower
With no apparent door
Scrabbling at nothing
Scrabbling at nothing
Fabric Rips
A piece of the sky
Folding in on itself
Geometric shapes
Triangles and pentagons
Blinding me
From 8 intersections
Joints bending in
An impossible combination
Each angle's degree is approximately 0 to 30
High numbers denote greater effectiveness
Floating in the sky
Filled with technology
Replicators
producing food from nothing, nothing
Would we reject it
If not made by our hands
Would we destroy it
To protect profits
A Monument
Opening a huge
Carton and taking out
An electronic
Artifact
Below is
A solid wall
A rectangle
Of beef
A slab to protect
Inefficiently
It used to be alive
I think
A monument
To the selfish beast
The parasitic beast
The human
Unraveling
The counterfeit
Quality of
The world
Affirming
A sanctified
Alternate
Reality
As TV
Image is to human
Human is
To the word
