Impressions Of Bray, 2017

peking manis, or praeying mantis? the javanese instrument called "peking" is the highest pitched metallophone in the javanese gamelan orchestra. and when i thought of peking's tones gently rising like the foam on the tide, i thought it sweet. and the word i learned in indonesian (and malay, for that matter) for "sweet" was, and remains, "manis", just like you see on indonesian condiments like "ketjap manis". image taken by karolina ossowska-gburek in dubai, NO! in abu dabi, united emirates, of all places, no, wait, it's Okonek!

Water Damage Music, Part 1

violin, bass recorder, electric guitar, live computer processing, production by "the house that thinks it's me". as invariance. the kind stabilizing entropy. numbers and alpabeta letters in phase relations. preserving to infinity unstable potential entry. wordlessness and/or musicality of this. feedback loops as overdriven determinants. the tendency of logic signs to envelope or be enveloped by a design to incorporate them. and all the opposites
