I really hope you all like this one! I've known of this song for a while bc I have an original track called ‘talk to god’ inspired by it so when I saw it blow up on Stranger Things I knew I had to make a version! For me, I just love taking the listener on a journey start to finish the same way a film score does, so drop a comment and let me know how it makes you feel! Love you all, more on the way soon x

[re]Glossolalia, Note:
Updated: June 20, 2018

Written in 2018, [re]Glossolalia was composed as a companion work to another composition of mine from early 2017 for alto saxophone and live electronics. Both pieces heavily critique the sometimes insidious and subversive nature of late-night rural US radio broadcasts, utilizing excerpts recorded from a circuit-bent radio. The broadcasts used in this piece vary in content, covering topics such as: predicting the United States’ role in bringing about the biblical apocalypse, why monetary donations earn entry into the afterlife, to the “comforts” of mutually assured destruction, and so on. Compositionally, the piece presents an unpredictable, dense, and continuously fracturing interpretation and dialogue of that radio content – exploring the balance between real and imaginary sound worlds in a type of liminal space. The sonic materials for [re]Glossolalia were created and transformed using custom-written granular synthesis programs, duffing oscillator synthesis, FM synthesis, and through hardware hacking.

Please note: I don’t intend for this piece to present a prescriptive worldview, or condemnation of socio-political affiliation and / or religious beliefs. However, I do intend to utilize this as a platform in which I can bring blind hatred, anti-intellectualism, and dangerous zealotry under scrutiny.

A further element of this work is the installation portion, which was placed in the Talbot Rice Gallery stairwell and elevator entry routes.  These placed fractured elements derived from this composition within the space of the gallery as "echoes" which inhabited the gallery.

[re]Glossolalia (2018)

I used the original piano samples from Midori's piece – the whole harmonic structure is based on this, in various degrees of recognition and abstraction. From dark rich glitchiness to icy glacial harmonies and an expanding out through my own singing voice, there is a relentlessness to the way the chords are restated, a sense of being haunted by a feeling or atmosphere, akin to remembering parts of a dream.

LYRICS:
Roll me up and smoke me in your living room
I’m so sick and tired she cries as she crawls back into her homemade cocoon
Fumigate my lungs with that funny laugh 
It’s too bad that he chooses the high life
Cuz he drives in a lane that’s too fast
Yeah he knows I’m always an option
So I Know I’ll always come last. 

Rack me up and take me I’ll go easily
Say each nights the same we get in by name and I’m his by quarter to three
Pick me up and hang me like a little girl
It’s too bad he’s in love with the evening
Licks his wounds as he ties his loose ends
Yeah I know if it’s me of a nightcap
I’m back to a stranger again (oh)

Fumigate my lungs with that funny laugh 
(oh) 
Why does she play the game if she knows she’ll always come last. 
(oh)
