Beware

"Jarvis" is a literary place that Dylan Thomas created in his early prose in which some of his stories are set. The characters and the landscapes that are placed in these mystical tales often possess otherworldly and mythological qualities. I see parallels within the narrative and imagery of folk music (particularly British folk music) and have used this music as a main source for my sampling. Having both power in its rawness and beauty in its eloquence, I use my own personal response to folk music whilst relocating it into a modern setting, creating ‘Dreams of Jarvis’.

Kaleidoscope

(Produced by Myst & Azalah, Additional production by Graham O’Brien)

Verse 1

So much to say don’t know where to start 
I bared my heart to the bears
Then buried it in the barracks 
In the most barren part I could bare
I'm Baron Blood Lone Wolf & Cub
Barely inspired by swollen cuts
They'll soak it up I'll sulk in ruts
This attitude just won't adjust
We go for broke cuz we're broken
Light hurt my eyes so I sewed em shut
Pearl inside but won't open up
Turpentine in that ocean front
Let's burn alive ’til the smoke erupts
Turn the skies into poems
Once I paint my paper thin vacant skin
And get estranged again
How strange it is how strangers live 
Their wrists injected with save-me-quicks
I risked my neck then they strangled it
Irises left in my tangled limbs
Mangled by my state of mind
Dangled by widow's spiderwebs
Anchors tied to my ankle sides
Halos lie where those liars slept
Let's walk to where all the Angels hide
Kill a cherub, call it angelcide
Why sell him a fate, of a lake of fire
I'll self-immolate those flames are mine
They take a tithe we pay the price
Want my advice? Don't take advice
Save us from our saviors
When they sanctify the same they curse

Hook

They say we're born alone we'll die alone
I say it's worth it for tonight alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm kaleidoscope
Alkalines collide inside I feel like I’m kaleidoscope

God Complex

(Produced by Ryu Alexy & Jimmy Kelso, Additional production by Graham O’Brien)

Get on my level for real, get on my level

Verse 1

The apparitions appear they're up here
My conditions impaired
Now our positions to peer on our peers
My visions in pairs
Apparently people still think I'm a poet
A freak and I know it
Afraid I'm a fraud, I'm a leech, I'm a rodent
Taking the hearts of the people opposed 
Feast or be feasted it's beating for beats & I know
I'm a beast and it shows I'ma show ‘em my teeth
At least that I know I'm the least
These people are so in between more like social disease
So fuck their retweets & fuck the like
I've come to defeat and cut the ties
I don't vie for dumb I become divine
Will I my sacrifice my sun to shine? 

Hook

Watch em revel in this shit, watch em revel in this shit
Devil on the left
Watch em revel in this shit, watch em revel in this shit
Devil on the right
Watch em revel in this shit, watch em revel in this shit
Devil on the left
Watch em revel in this shit, watch em revel in this shit
What level did you get?
I got a god up here, I got a god up here
What you got up here?
I got a god up here, I got a god up here
What you got?
I got a god up here, I got a god up here
What you got up here?
I got a god up here, I got a god up here
What you got?


Verse 2

I'm the god of gods
All are lost, Holocausts
All accosted for hollow cause
Throw Molotovs don't call the cops
We're slowly dying & waterlogged
Don't baptize me in alcohol
Or choke & tie me I'm nodding off
Throw tomahawks at those bla-bla-blas
Like… Yea I don't wanna talk to you
Like... And I don't want a talking to
Since I can't fit sins in stanzas
Ill sit in absence & sip the absinthe 
My hippocampus can hit the canvases
Is this disenchantment?

IOSIS & John C.S. Keston live at Jazz Central Studios

IOSIS is ritual in the shape of gnarled dronescapes, wrestled from the back of a hardware beast made of diverse synthesizers, tangled patch cables and contact microphones snaked through space-making delay and reverb units. Sometimes verging on the edge of breaking noise, sometimes swimming in lush beauty, witnessing IOSIS is a fully enveloping ceremonial experience imbued with transmutational significance. IOSIS is the musical project and collaborative platform of artist Alex Bissen. https://iosisdrone.bandcamp.com/

John C.S. Keston is an award winning composer of electronic, experimental, and instrumental music. His work embraces the chaotic ambiguities of environmental and sensorial influences providing context within unpredictable and everyday events. His unconventional compositions convey a spirit of discovery and exploration through the use of graphic scores, chance, generative techniques, analog & digital synthesis, sound design, signal processing, and acoustic piano.

SOUND / SIMULACRA
John Keston and Cody McKinney present: Sound / Simulacra: A monthly series which explores musical improvisation as a “faithful and intentionally distorted” representational process. Sound / Simulacra will bring together some of the Twin Cities most unique voices to “recreate, distort, and create the hyperreal”.
