Libretto:

"Now that you'll riposte
Enjoy this...

The village festooned
With a wilderness of mirrors
The children forced into these
Image gone out
Image gone out.

Mandrake scream
In case you were wondering
Wandering in a sky of shredded stars
There's nothing here
There's nothing here.

Now what we have is this
No direct contact with
Waning companion
Eons in nanoseconds
Eons in nanoseconds."

Libretto:

"The Abyssal Self
Projecting through non-existence
The Procreatrix.

I scan the mask.
I span the mast.

You are dear to me.
You are cherished and loved.

I scan the mask.
I scan the mast.

You are dear to me.

(...lux in tenebris lucet, 
et tenebrae eam exstinguere non possunt).

and the darkness cannot extinguish it).

I'm so glad."

Master,
Cut away the bloat of my vanity.
Master, 
Lance the pustules of my pride.
Master,
Tear out the root of my disordered desires.

Master,
Grand and glorious,
Shower me with your outrageous grace.

Master,
Elope with me
To a place
Where the interstice
Between our bodies
Melts away and disappears.

My neck bared like a heavy twig,
Like Heaven's twin.

Master,
I surrender.
Do with me
As you please.

Master,
I surrender.
Do with me
As you please."

This composition is one of five from the dance-theater work "Cage/Cunningham: Love Letters," inspired by John's love letters to Merce.

John Milton Cage Jr. was an American composer and music theorist. A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde.

Mercier Philip "Merce" Cunningham was an American dancer and choreographer who was at the forefront of American modern dance for more than 50 years. As a choreographer, teacher, and leader of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company, Cunningham had a profound influence on modern dance.

"I'm thinking of your message and the brutality of it," she said. "Why do you communicate with anyone, if every time you do, you leave a trail of corpses behind you?"

All our betrayals that leave undone.

Your voice
A bell
At bottom of
A crystal well.

And you will not find me
When you look for me.

We had drinks at DeBretts and then went to the Derek Jarman exhibition at the Gus Fisher Gallery. Omnia showed me the Rose Chatouillé oil paint she had purchased earlier this afternoon. "It's such a beautiful colour," she said.

No. We didn't go to DeBretts for drinks, nor did we go to the Jarman exhibition together. The communication broke down between us so it did not happen. Although we did go, a week later, to Le Garde-Manger. And it was there, in the outdoor courtyard, over wine and escargots, that she said we should go to a hotel and have wild sex.

"Fffffff-f-fuck me yeahhh
Fffff-f innocent f-fuck meal soft
Learn
More
Fucking
Meal
You'll be my new lover!"

Omnia's smiling face is the surgical spoon that I use to eat my own brains for breakfast.

"Would you like a second helping?" she asks.

She towers high above me, on altitudinous limbs, gazing down from immeasurable heights.

Her long tresses billowing in the stiff breeze. 

Her bare, barbarous breasts banked with pearl-grey clouds."

Lyrics:

"O your beautiful neck...
O your beautiful neck...

Proud, illegible
Bared like a heavy twin
Silent even when
Saccading the smooth paths
On a Sonntag
Morning.

It's on high
This smooth part
Is un-sired.

O your beautiful neck...
O your beautiful net...

Taming man (and monster).

Eliding meaning
Arresting motion
Suspending time.

O your beautiful neck
O your beautiful net
In which no fissure enters
Hauling my heart to Heaven.

O your beautiful neck
O your beautiful neck.

It's your world
You can change it
Dreaming wide awake
Dreaming with eyes open.

Love still abides...
Love still abides...
Love still abides..."

Raidne is one of the ten sister sirens in Greek mythology. 

Lyrics:

"What time is it?

11:11.

I can feel
The intimate melancholy
Imprisoned in the poem of your body
In the delirium of your tresses
In the oblivion of your sex.

We will go beyond
We will go beyond
Beyond anything you ever dreamed or wished.

Beyond romantic trauma
Beyond unhinged eroticism
Beyond the puzzle of your own existence
Beyond the terror of your own existence.

Beyond, without hesitation
Into a future that was always on the (way) wait.

Whether by chance or fate
Whether by chance or fate
Whether by chance or fate.

I can feel.

Come feel."

The title for this composition comes from a poem by Emily Dickinson: "Hope is the thing with feathers."

Lyrics:

"Twilight encroaches upon the hives of limerence.

A man with a broken neck
Is sitting in the corner of the room.

He says: "The stars are made of bone."
He says: "The stars are made of bone."

But we must not worry.
We must not stop believing.

It will be better 
When tomorrow comes around."

The first section of the composition tells the story, from the Maori  mythology, of the relationship between Hine-nui-te-po, the goddess of death, and the demigod, Maui-tikitiki-a-Tarangai. The legend tells us that Maui, seeking to overcome death for all people, by reversing the direction of birth, attempted to enter the body of Hine-nui-te-po, through her vagina, escaping later through her mouth. Changing into the form of a mokomoko (lizard), Maui entered Hine-nui-te-pō's vagina while she slept, but his struggle in entering her proved humorous for his friends the tirairaka (fantail birds) who were watching on. Their laughter awoke Hine-nui-te-po. She crushed Maui to death with the obsidian teeth that lined her vagina.

The second section of the composition explores the psychosexual paradox of "power in submission."

The third section of the composition is voiced by Venesia, a character from my novel: Monument to the Unimaginable. Venesia and her twin brother Venexia are the daughter and son of the characters Omnia and Paul (not to be confused with the author Paul). The parents discover their children have begun a romantic and sexual relationship, and separate them, with Venesia staying with them in Paris, and Venexia being sent to Berlin to live with his aunt. Here, in the composition, Venexia sings of her love for her brother and of the pain brought about by their separation.

The fourth section of the composition takes a phrase from Psalm 42:7 of the Bible and repeats it as a sung closing prayer.

Libretto:

Part One: Maui-tikitiki-a-Tarangai and Hine-nui-te-po

Her eyes meet his
Then roll back in her head.

Obsidian teeth of her love-tunnel
Obsidian teeth of her love-tunnel
Obsidian teeth of her love-tunnel.

Glitter, gleam, and grow damp.
Tear at his flesh with every spasm.

The Gynarch glows
Smile on her lips.

"Now you are mine forever," she says.

Part Two: A Total Surrender

Stop thinking 
About lovers as human beings
And start thinking 
Of them as triggers for ecstasy.

Every day, every day, every day
On my knees, on my knees.

Every day, every day, my life
On my knees for you.

Every day, every day, my life
On my knees for you, every day.

Every day, every day of my life
Every day, every day of my life
Every day, every day of my life
I burn for you.

Every day, every day, my life
Every day, every day, my life.

Part Three: Venesia’s Lament

We were lovers in the womb.
We shall be lovers in the tomb.

Life.

Every day, every day, my life
Every day, every day, my life.

It kills to kiss
It kills to kiss
It kills to kiss
It kills to kiss

What is not you.

Part Four: Deep Calls To Deep

Venesia and her twin brother Venexia are the daughter and son of the characters Omnia and Paul (not to be confused with the author Paul) in my novel: Monument to the Unimaginable. 

The parents discover their teenage children have begun a romantic and sexual relationship, and separate them, with Venesia staying with them in Paris, and Venexia being sent to Berlin to live with his aunt. 

After a month of the children being separated, with Venesia still very much in the doldrums emotionally, Paul and Omnia decide to take a trip to their holiday home in Italy. Here, Venesia pens a letter to her brother.

"My Dearest, Darling V.,

I am writing to you from the holiday house on Lake Orta. It started snowing two days ago. 

Père and Mère are always fussing about, hovering around, getting on my very last nerve. They're unendingly asking me how I am doing, how I'm coping without you. As if they even care.

We are cooped up together here like sardines in a tin. I never get a moment to myself. I wish they'd just let me be and suffer on my own.

I won't forgive them for doing this, taking you away from me, not ever, I promise you that.

Last night, when I was getting dressed for bed, a fox came to my window. He looked at me and I looked back at him. His eyes were unbearably sad. 

I went to get him a bowl of water but when I came back he was gone. 

I wanted to tell him how beautiful he was, but I didn't have the chance to. I can't say what, exactly, but there was something about him that reminded me of you. Did you come visit me last night in your dreams? Were you the sad fox?

How are things in Berlin? Do you miss me? I miss you terribly.

I send you kisses, my love. We must find a way to be together again soon. I love you more than I can possibly say.

Your Sistren Other and True Soul's Wife,

V."

William S. Burroughs - Progenitor vocal cells
Case Study 13 - Inception text
Curtis Knapp - Portrait of William Burroughs

This work uses the governing principle of mutation (mistakes occurring through cell division due to damaging agents) as its compositional blueprint. The text, spoken by a paranoid schizophrenic, the aforementioned "Case Study 13," and written down by a psychiatrist, is voiced by an electronic module which uses the vocal quanta (discrete data units) of William S. Burroughs, that have been grown, as cells in a petrie dish, to give him a voice beyond the grave.

The text and music is cut-up into random fragments by a computer program as it is being composed and re-arranged in real-time.

This work is similar to the cut-up tape experiments Burroughs did himself in the 50s and 60s, but using contemporary technologies.

Inception text (prior to mutation):

"This is not my shape or face Mary has given me her glass eye and she has my noise. Bob Hope, Crooked Mouth Peter Lin Hayes, has given me his lopsided shoulder and terrible mans figure..."

The text for this work was written for the character of Omnia in my novel Monument To the Unimaginable. It is the final entry she writes in her diary before she commits suicide.

The text also doubles as an elegy for my father, Mike Amlehn, who died on March the 28th, 2015.

Text:

"Sometimes I think I see him, a face that might be his - but isn't, that distinctive walk of his - but it's not him. My desire almost, but not quite, gives his ghost a body. 

He no longer belongs to any place or to any time that I have right of entry to. 

He belongs only to the irrevocable instant, the instant right after the heart has been given away and cannot be taken back. To that moment when the earth tilts and the sea rises. To the moment when the horizon is skewed to a curve. When one has to run away from those who love them too much, or from those that cannot love them enough. In that strange between time. When the time for loving has ended and the time for remembering has yet to arrive."

This work is an instrumental version of another piece of music which had my text and vocals as part of the composition. I like this version as an alternative to the original because of its spacious, cinematic atmosphere, which gives the listener extra room to dream up a mini-movie on their Mind's Eye Screen.

hybridization
/ˌhʌɪbrɪdʌɪˈzeɪʃ(ə)n/
noun
the process of an animal or plant breeding with an individual of another species or variety.

This composition is a hybridization of two songs, "Help Me Somebody," by David Byrne and Brian Eno from their 1981 album "My Life in the Bush of Ghosts," and "Action at a Distance," by Matmos, from their 1999 album "The West."

The Photo-Painting image pictured above was captured on analogue film one day in St Peter's Church in Wellington, New Zealand, and has no post production of any kind performed upon it. The image was captured as you see it, and seemingly portrays some kind of spiritual phenomena. Whether the manifestation is good or evil is unclear, but I personally feel it is the Holy Spirit also known as Ruach Ha-kodesh.

This composition utilizes sonic elements from three previously existing compositions from the albums "My Life In the Bush of Ghosts" by David Byrne and Brian Eno, "Ghosts I-IV" by Nine Inch Nails, and "Miss Anthropocene" by Grimes, as well as new material created by Eraldo Bernocchi and myself.

"Music for Beings on Other Worlds" is a series I began working on in 2021. Each sonic composition is designed for a specific exoplanet, and the hypothetical beings that live on that particular world.

This composition for the speculative race that lives on the blanet designated "M51-ULS-1b."

A "blanet" is a member of a hypothetical class of exoplanets that directly orbit black holes.

Blanets are fundamentally similar to other planets; they have enough mass to be rounded by their own gravity, but are not massive enough to start thermonuclear fusion and become stars. In 2019, a team of astronomers and exoplanetologists showed that there is a safe zone around a supermassive black hole that could harbor thousands of blanets in orbit around it.

The team led by Keiichi Wada of Kagoshima University in Japan has given this name to black hole planets. The word is a portmanteau of "black hole" and "planet."

M51-ULS-1b is an unconfirmed extragalactic blanet in Messier 51a (also known as "The Whirpool Galaxy"). Although its status is as yet unconfirmed, evidence was recently discovered which supports its existence.

Rent their robes and sprinkled dust upon 
Their heads..."

In a Time of Plague

News:

02.02.25

Today I finished a new short film work titled: "Epigenetic Trauma Portrait No. 1".

The film is a collaboration between myself and Austrian-Irish painter Gottfried Helnwein. The work was shot by Cyril Helnwein and features performances by Gottfried and his granddaughter Croí (cree) Sequoia Helnwein. The film has music by Peter Hess of the Philip Glass Ensemble.

Gottfried is considered one of the world's leading painters and has provided artwork for the Rolling Stones, Rammstein, and collaborated with Marilyn Manson.

The short film work explores the phenomena of intergenerational epigenetic trauma, by which a chemical mark is painted on a gene as a response to the traumatic event, which changes the way the gene is read and expressed in the subsequent generation. The work also explores the capacity for art (in this case painting) as a catalyst for transformation and healing both on an individual and a societal level.

You can view the film by going to my YouTube channel via the link in the links section below.
