feat. Jerry Quickley
twitter.com/jerryquickley

A collaboration that began in October 2019, with a single vocal take recorded by Jerry Quickley, separated in different sections, in which he whispers/repeats "the fires keep coming", spits out rhymes about "sailing flames on paperboats", and in a final bit, acts out a report of "waves of fire" ravaging Los Angeles, engulfing him in his last interrupted line.

Initially planned for a cursed, upcoming experimental-rap/poetry album by Joni Void that includes many other featurings, the instrumental reflects Jerry's vocal intensity and fire imagery with a fury of samples such as the video-game series Doom that is directly referenced, the drumming of Hamid Drake, voices & noises from selected New Japan releases...

With the September 2020 fire outbreaks in California, resulting in many images of California shrouded in doomy Orange skies & surrounded by fiery landscapes, both artists agreed that it would make sense to release their collaborative effort prematurely, having eerily predicted that exact imagery a year prior.

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music. ~ Aldous Huxley

All good music resembles something. Good music stirs by its mysterious resemblance to the objects and feelings which motivated it. ~ Jean Cocteau

All music is beautiful. ~ Billy Strayhorn
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've become addicted to drone. Again. I was the kid with his head on the piano, listening to the overtones die away, or pressing his ear to the steel hull of the ferry, enthralled by the sounds it created. I was the kid who formed wordless songs to accompany the sound of train wheels on a long journey, or hummed along with the fan on a hot day.

In the 60s I used to play my 45s on 16, or backwards, or by hand using razor blades as stylii.

I made cut-up tapes on a cheap cassette recorder in the 70s and experimented with reel-to-reel in the 80s. 

Thank you Subotnick, Lygeti, Coltrane, Jimi, Mimaroglu, Eno, Cluster, Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Frank Zappa, Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk, Throbbing Gristle...

I am not a musician. I am a scavenger of sounds. I use the most basic software to process those sounds, stretching and filtering until something emerges that makes a joyful noise. Or not...
