Disquiet Junto Project 0552: The Radio in My Life
The Assignment: Record music in response to a John Cage and Morton Feldman conversation.

This was fun. I thought about intrusions. Mostly it's the loud street in front of my window and kids running in the flat above mine and people shouting at Siri, Alexa and OKgoogle in the backyard.

I checked my field recordings and there it was: the f… church bells. A bad ambient track, repeated relentlessly every sunday, never changing, a transcendent single-track playlist … 

I threw the field recoding of the bells into deCoda, and it calculated Aminor and 84bpm. I started a track from scratch with these parameters and improvised some beats and pads. The idea was to have a peaceful ambient track … that could be disturbed by acoustic intrusion of the church bells. 

The track seemed finished when I read the algorithm again and listened to the Cage-Feldman-Talk. I liked the pure oddity of the first minutes, so I added some parts of the beginning, accepting that this will draw focus to the conversation, so I didn't care that you don't understand much. 

Next sunday at seven, they will play my track …

my networth up
i get my networth up
my networth up
i get my networth up


got that credit, imma spend it, pow pow pow (gun shots)
monopoly money like chengpeng zhao (HOOYAH)
how'd i get it, almost don't know how (HOW)
netted in my settings swim against the crowd (SCHWIM)
go against the flow watch the arrows go (UP)
up up up imma diamond in the rough (YA)
finding shiny stuff that don't mean much (NAH)
like midas touch, I provided as such (GOLD)
CEO vibes, no dealio if you can't thrive (SWERVE)
Weak egos die if you can't convince I (BYE)
That's why I never invest, uh
Ya'll left the game in such a fucking mess (WOO)

I laugh at the graphs who can't stay intact 
Fax over feelings, most cant manage that
Too busy with snaps and tiky taks,
My posture’s too kingly to constantly piggy back
I’m Besos with the jobs, NATO with the glocks
All the haters I batted off, i’m like babe ruth on the stocks
Never double cross the boss who signs on the dots
I’m the narrator in ya’ll scheming ass plots

My world never moved on from there
What should I dare become?
Ready drifter, astro-naught,
multi-hyphenate creative?
Beginning on the margin again
Beginner, constantly "un-"
Constantly blown by solar winds
My follicles untether
Rods skip cones, my focus
pan-galactic smithereens
What flakes of sound can write this SNOW?
in which now loses as "S"
and then an "O"
What next?

I've never advanced a single step
Equilibrium, homeostasis
Tight fit, clinging fabric of pulsar
Entropy, everything so near,
no city, no center.
Just a fan blowing a breeze
for no face. Just a poem
spoken for, broken from
a gathering of the nations of words!
Who-hoa. Heart-beat caldera
Glowing blind, thumped
in hunch-back gloom

Must mist sybilline whispers

The poem really starts to come to life
when it being read for the first time
as if it were being written in the mind of the reader
who does a double-take, trying to figure
where it all comes from, where it's going
where the poem is coming from
inside itself, siphoned outward

Vociferous shift

It was my 50th birthday and I was meant to be having a day of fun and laughter, enjoying the company of friends and family. One guest, though, took it upon themselves to share personal tales of woe with one and all, a process which spanned the entire occasion, from uncomfortable beginning through to bitter end.  As a result, it is the recollection of that somewhat harrowing narrative that lingers, rather than  the memory of song and laughter I was kind of hoping for.  

At the time, the words of XTC's song “Snowman” came into my head, probably because I was wondering why this person was treating me with such cold, unfeeling insensitivity.  OK, hardly the true meaning of the original, but exactly how I felt about what had happened.  I haven't ever mentioned these feelings to anyone except my wife, preferring to lay them to rest by the now tried and trusted method of writing a song about it, and to also remind myself that, after all, it was just another day.

The music Arnold (you can see his other work at https://soundcloud.com/arnold-dawson-317816707 and a link to his band camp pagehttps://exit.sc/?url=https://arnolddawson.bandcamp.com/track/xtc-were-right)created here is out of this world, and interprets the meaning of the song with absolute perfection.  Everlasting thanks to him for helping me put that day to rest, so that it can at least now be remembered in the context of a brilliantly produced track.  He played, arranged and mixed the whole thing - all I had to do was add the vocal.  I had shedloads of fun doing that.  

Thanks so much to everyone for listening.  (Terry Reeves).

Song, Lyrics and vocals byTerry Reeves, 
music by Arnold Dawson


Another day is over
Darkness all around 
Crushed a four leaf clover
Didn’t see it on the ground

How much luck does it take
Before I make the same mistake

Another Birthday candle
Lightning up the room
Still learning how to handle 
Other people’s tales of gloom

Fifty years but I ain’t done yet
Looking forwards with some past regrets 
Some past regrets

What you see
Isn’t always what you want to see
Where you go
Isn’t always where you want to be

Another melting snowman 
XTC were right
But I’d rather be a no man
Than stay cold all my life

Climate change may end the snow
My entire fault I will never know
I will never know

Another leaf has fallen 
The tree is nearly bare
Winter nearly over
No hero’s springing up anywhere 

What you see is what you got
Close your eyes you got a lot
You got a lot

Where you go
Isn’t always where you want to be
Where you want to be

XTC Were Right (Cripple Club in collab. with Arnold Dawson)

I live in a drop
Of rosewater on your cheek

So I have to go
When you cry from time to time

I fell on the moss
And helped the plants grow up

I dream of you
Do you dream of me, 
We would watch the sun grow high?

When we watched it all alive?

You live in a drop
Of rosewater on my cheek

If only you and I
Shared the same tears

We could dance in the summertime
We could laugh at the passing time
We would put it all aside
We would put it all aside
But instead we bled in the summer time
