Trio in A Major - Movement 2

method: LIMBO! - all of the sounds you hear have traversed a low pass filter at some point or other
narration: I can't hear you - reception is bad - there is a lot of interference and stuff

limelight horror, body terror
your past on a celluloid leash
hauled in to mask the hapless tremor
of neurons and genes, mirrored and selfish

a sky full of stars and the moral law
induce, produce, extrude and include
a common man’s somewhat hesitant awe
while AI assures it is ready to reboot

government agents raid homes in the nude
who will have seen claim that they saw
man’s not as nubile as a lemur
earth holds more ocean than there are fish

this is all dead weight, in the interim
learn to let go, the weltgeist insists
your heart is as pure as the code on the bin
a bird, a feather, an item, no lists

tally categorial - not for the faint of hearing

Many people associate serialism with what late composer Humprey Evans III used to call "twitchy music."   Here I explore a novel serial technique for a music I might describe as protean or fluid.   

Rows control configurations of attributes rather than pitches or other simple parameters.   In particular they control substructural justly tuned harmonies and the evolving mixes of outputs of six different filters (related related to difference tones) applied to those harmonies.  The pitches matter...but the effects also relate to some of the more purely "sonic" music of our day.

Let the title invoke not only the various meanings of the English word, but the rather different sense it has particularly in Dutch.
