track 4, the sabotage
world world world
world world world world
seed part worm limbs
they didn’t demonstrate this in the training
i don’t know what time it is
seed part worm limbs
i forgive you
make sure to tell a friend
the first death wont be your end
make sure to tell a friend
the first death
receiver tower
what did he say earlier
seed part worm limbs
no no no no…
receiver tower
turn your thoughts into energy
we were constantly being born
alongside silver sparks
energy world
and fat round rifles
that would drag spikes that float
turn your approximate reality into objective truth
it took flight when the wings grew
you’re not supposed to be like this
you’re not supposed to be like this
you’re not supposed to be like this
you’re not supposed to feel this way
world world
seed part worm limbs
i started running
i started running
i started running
why are you injecting these thoughts into my head
no
i don’t remember the sabotage

the Sabotage

is it real? is it right there in the world?
if i give up, which slice can i keep?
well, after death sir, wig out
you’re an interference a miss
they’ll have babies that die cling on to the air
i am vomit
they’ll have babies that die cling on to the air
i am vomit
there will be no rain when Gods dead
well after death sir, wig out
well after death sir, wig out
i have seen the face of garnish.
all will be revealed, them starseeds
them starseeds
them, i am that i am that i am that i am
it might not be vomit (vomit)
it might not be vomit (fruit)
it might not be vomit (vomit)
i digest (fruit) the holy ghost (vomit)
it coats my throat (fruit) in fuzzy mold 
i digress, i’m burning slow
i am stardust blisters
i am stardust blister
my bloods appalled
my bloods appalled
my bloods appalled
i’ve upheld my obscene
thwart the worship
i am star dust
have i smite in the eternal god?
have i smite in the eternal god?
have i smite in the eternal god?
dark old earth, i must admit your prayer
dark old earth i admit, yours sit all bled
dark old earth i admit, yours starving
have i smite in the eternal god?
have i smite in the eternal god?
have i smite in the eternal god?
dark old earth, i must admit your prayer
dark old earth i admit, yours sit all bled
dark old earth i admit, yours starving

dark old earth

Rubber Bridge Plunking
An experimental recording of a 1972 Yari handmade parlor guitar.

Background: I used a strip of rubber insulation wound between the strings at the bridge to make a "rubber bridge" and recorded some random tune and forgot about it. When I rediscovered the tune recording it seemed interesting enough so I edited it as a video in OpenShot (using OBS to capture the Windows Media Player screen) and posted it to YouTube.com/@gentlepassionsmusic

PRESS RELEASE:

January 23rd-February 15th, 2004

Opening January 23rd from 7PM-Midnight

The show includes John Parker, Nina Sobell, Caspar Stracke, LoVid, Michaeal Jacobson with performances by Bubblyfish, Bit Shifter, North Guinea Hills , G-Stompz + Nobody, Tom Ritchford, and jenghizkhan.

"a sound show" includes work from a variety of artists using sound as the basis or influence for their work. The work included in the show uses toys, tools, and consumer electronics that are either customized or used in a non-traditional manner.

Nina Sobell uses a hammer to create a percussive rhythm on pieces of glass in a video performance excerpt from 1973. Caspar Stacke (Videokasbah) uses a customized or hacked Laserdisc to scratch images and movie soundtracks as a DJ scratches records. Bubblyfish (Haeyoung Kim) and Bit Shifter (Joshua Davis) create music by sequencing 8-bit sounds from a hand held video games (Nintendo Game Boy). John Parker uses the technology of miniature portable radios tuned to different stations and the static between radio transmissions to create a musical composition. Michael Jacobson uses paint marker on canvas and is influenced by street art (graffiti), his pieces contain subliminal and "free thought" imagery within the canvas. G-Stompz and Nobody use customized music gear and toys that are altered in a process called circuit bending (an alteration of the usual function of the instrument or toy). Aaron Halley (North Guinea Hills) uses customized music gear to create cacophonous soundscapes. Tom Ritchford loops live and electronic sounds featuring the electronic wind instrument and effects to produce sounds ranging from angular minimalist jams to huge cascades of notes. John Parker (jenghizkhan) will do live synthesis with a circuit-bent toy Casio SK-1 keyboard (modified by Arius Blaze) and a Monomachine. LoVid (Tali Hinkis and Kyle Lapidus) scrambles ordinary TV output into hyperkinetic audiovisual abstraction using homemade electronic devices, repurposed analog toys, and low-res video loops.

John Parker (jenghizkhan) is a sound artist living and working in Brooklyn. He was in a recent sound show at Caren Golden Fine Art in Chelsea called Pop Rocks as well as shows at Perogi, Gale Gates, and Andrew Kreps Gallery. He has also done events with the CMJ Music Festival with DJ Spooky and with Amoeba Technologies. He is a regular at Share and is part of two side projects, Man From Planet Risk and !M.O.O.B. www.eyekhan.com
