Voice and Lyrics by Todd Tuttle: (@ttuttle)
He made it look easy to stuff himself into a goat  that couldn’t be observed inside a hook and loop bird coat His even-toed ungulate hooves controlled his feathered wings  He could wave his arms in a boat and teach children about the cleverness of things
But the part that everybody loved was when it tried to fly its enormous bag of untested methods hung on the outside It moved with a lag of progression That lurched in reverse forward momentum It said if I’m 4 pi over 3  you must be pi over 2
I sorted dark sweet sacks  From horny toads on the wet grass With mildew on the pumpkin leaves And I’ll be leading you
Blackberries in sweet sacks Plum tomatoes on the wet grass Toad jumps to the butternut leaf
 And now I’m lagging you
Do the noodle in a sassafrass Wiggle our toes in the wet grass Will do all the pumpkin seeds Then you’ll be seeing me
assorted sad sacks  Some kind of toad on the wet grass Mildew on the pumpkin leaves And I’ll be seeing you
Then I’ll be seeing you

Vegetable Tangents (with Todd Tuttle)

My entry for the Disquiet Junto Project 0463: Making the Gradient.

The Assignment: Make a piece of music inspired by the concept of a gradient.

I let myself be inspired by the sounds of the Prophet VS, a 1986 vector synthesis instrument, with their smooth transitioning waveforms.

Of course, I didn't actually use that, but the Arturia iProphet iPad emulation, which meanwhile is almost as vintage as the real thing.

--

All sounds from iProphet app, mixed in Ardour.

Artwork: plasma clouds in color-cycling mode in Fractint.

“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)
