The Many Sides of Toshiko (HD Remastered)

After You've Gone

is long distance improv for a long distance relationship.  I'm on the clean electric while Christian dose everything else; acoustic... recording etc.

Don't look back just run for your life
Generations and eternity passed
A sudden focus and horrid recognition
Upon a link of all the same chains

The feeling shoots through him
In a blood burst of electric flush shock
Almost cries at a gasp he swallows
God's beautiful creation behold

Embrace with love the pain
No different he knows

Grab the dagger with both hands
Oh that dirty little weapon
To stab over and over and over
Into the innocent heart of trust

Sweat beads on an empty face
Tight throat aches with a cry
Shakes off a vaguely clear thought
It's only been a moment though

Taste the salty tears
Soon to taste the blood

I know you'd do anything for love

i know you

What they think 

You throw your ideas out of the window
You no longer believe what you are told
You throw away your clothes
And you don’t give
You don’t give a damn no more

You throw your ideas out of the window
(And you don’t care what they think about it)
You no longer believe what you are told
(And you don’t care what they think about it)
You throw away all your clothes
(And you don’t care what they think about it)
You don’t, you don’t  give a damn no more
You don’t give a damn no more

You throw your memories out of the window
Throw everything that burdens you overboard
Let go of everything that talks garbage
And you, you don’t give a damn no more
What they think I don’t give a damn

What they think! (feat. Druid)

“The avant garde is dead. That is its triumph. Let it lie.” - Chris Cutler in “Not As We Choose: Music, Memory and Technology”. (Highly recommended!)

“… there is increasingly less call to exercise an already too rare generosity of aesthetic hospitality.” - Chris Cutler

" Music is one of the great Mysteries. It gives life. It is not a career, nor a business, nor a craft. It is a gift... and a great responsibility. Because one can never know where the creative spark comes from or why it exists, it must be treasured as a Mystery. For the most part I believe creativity chooses you, not the other way around." - John Zorn (excerpt from the liner notes to 'Magick')

“Listen as if you were being told a secret” - Federico Fellini

“Experimental and electronic music was once not-so-benignly tolerated at the margins of western art music, but it has over the last decade or so moved toward a central position as something of the soundtrack of our digital culture. Where it once was merely tolerated it is now more engaged and doesn’t have to apologize to anyone”.  - Douglas Kahn 

"Through technology, voices are amplified and silence is broken. Spaces are shared." – Laurie Anderson

"I frequently hear music in the heart of noise." - George Gershwin

"'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds." - 
Malaclypse the Younger in 'Principia Discordia'

“Let us cross a great modern capital with our ears more alert than our eyes and we will get enjoyment from distinguishing the eddying of water, air and gas in metal pipes, the grumbling noises that breathe and pulse with indisputable animility, the palpitation of waves, the coming and going of pistons, the howl of mechanical saws, the jolting of the tram on its rails, the cracking of whips, the flapping of curtains and flags. We enjoy creating mental orchestrations of crashing down of metal shop blinds, slamming doors, the hubbub and shuffle of crowds, the variety of din from the stations, railways, iron foundries, spinning mills, printing works, electric power stations and underground railways.” — Luigi Russolo in 'The Art of Noises' (L'arte dei Rumori)
