FORWARD-REVERSE

experimental musician/soundmaker from Apuliae
Born in 1978

Welcome here to everyone.

I hope what you'll hear inspires you.

For your growth or fall
Through the cathartic world of sounds 
that I try to propose. 

A test area 

A search for meaning 
Of this passage for ours.

Sound as a primordial frequency
Before any acquired significance

If what you hear resonates with your tuning fork
A like and a repost would be of great support.

May your journey be pleasant and constructive
in this sea of instants called life

The eternity of our days.

All here, in reality, are works in progress and are therefore apt to change at any time. All those except XIII Sisters and RAW which, as many of you may have done, I literally gave away in return for their placement in a library. Something I won't be doing again any time soon. If you have a use for something you hear here please just ask.

ChatGTP said of AI Music...
'Creative AI tools can be seen as sophisticated plagiarism software, as they do not produce genuinely original content but rather emulate and modify existing works by artists subtly enough to circumvent copyright laws'

Sometimes it takes a dispassionate, independent view to actually see the truth of it ...

There are links to XiiixxiQ below. Your mileage may vary as to whether it decides to work on your system or not. It only runs on a Mac because I really don't have time to do all the necessary work to make it compatible with anything other than my 2015 MacBook Pro :-(. It is still being developed (for my own use) and improved, and I may yet get round to doing another release if I can find the time to tidy it all up.

Caveat: I explicitly prohibit the use of any material I post for purposes of torture, brainwashing, hypnosis, bedazzlement or any other nefarious activity. This prohibition applies to all governments, corporations, institutions, agencies and individuals. 

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)

Dreamer

In a way or by some means that is not known or not stated:
It won't be easy, but we'll get across the river somehow.
I'm not sure how, but somehow or other we'll raise the money.
​for a reason that is not clear:
I know what we're doing is legal, but somehow it doesn't feel right.
News of the pay cuts had somehow leaked out.
A small dog had somehow managed to survive the fire.
She's managed somehow to procure his phone number.
Although her name is Clare, her little sister called her Lali, and somehow the name stuck.
Money has been extremely tight, but we’ve managed somehow.
He felt that everything was somehow connected.
He saw that the intellectual side of him could not be wrong, somehow he must baptize it.
One could point to facets of the system and to the ideal of public service broadcasting, but somehow the whole defied adequate description.
The pages turn, but somehow it never seems to get going.
Vanished now are the untroubled meadows of spring, and the landscape acquires a realism that is somehow a little harsh.
An architecture without rhetoric is evidently an architecture that does not set out to persuade, yet somehow convinces.
The only concern is somehow to ensure nice convergence.
We can see that gerund constructions only gained frequency in those areas where they somehow came in useful.
Is not everything on this planet somehow influenced by humans?
They already know something of this from the words and meanings somehow retained in the letters and words in books you can read. 
The screen window may somehow constrain wider semantic construction of the text, and foster more literal attention to the wording.
Dreaming consists of a transparently meaningful and organized perceptual world, not of random noise that the brain struggles to make sense of somehow.
However, in 54% of the threatening events the dream self was reported to react somehow to the threatening event.
There were, however, many areas that were regularly raided and somehow survived.
None of this proves it to be somehow unfair if nobody rules at all or if social order is maintained without resorting to governance.
inputs in (51a, b) must somehow yield the corresponding outputs.































SOME REVIEWS FROM 
Yankel Muromachi 
ヤンケル室町 
Янкель Муромати
of the "The Eniwetok Symphony Orchestra"

-----



"As usual, The Somehows make a great sound that’s musically compelling, navigated by very listenable vocals. Even though the genres change from song to song there’s an underlying coherence provided by a distinct sound."
on Some Of That Days
---
"Great soaring melody. Excellent vocal performance makes this a catchy tuneful experience"
on If You Only Were Here
---
"Laidback, pensive mood"
on See You Again
---
"What a terrific racket! This what happens when combining the DNA of Mark E. Smith & John Lydon."
on Postmodern Nightmare
---
"Pounds along like an HGV with no brakes, beyond all appealls & negotiaton. Nice guitar work"
on Never Ever Give Up
---
"Heavy as depleted uranium, wildman screams into the wilderness. Is the Last Train a metaphor? Big noise done with style & vigour."
on Escape Plan
---
"Tones of PIL"
on It Ain't Easy
