"They were born in the early 80s. They went to an elite university but not to Oxbridge. They have some potted plants and like to cook from recipe books probably they have the first Ottolenghi book but they know that's a bit passé now. They don't go out much anymore but they still check Resident Advisor from time to time because they like to think they could go out if they felt like it. Sometimes they go to Café Oto..."

:zoviet*france: - Hidden By The Wailing Wall (Peter W disquiet rework)

Lo! ’t is a gala night
   Within the lonesome latter years!   
An angel throng, bewinged, bedight
   In veils, and drowned in tears,   
Sit in a theatre, to see
   A play of hopes and fears,
While the orchestra breathes fitfully   
   The music of the spheres.

(Edgar Allan Poe, The Worm Conqueror)

'MUTATIONS' by Una Lee & Peter Wullen on the 'NO BULLSHIT' tribute dvd to Zbigniew Karkowski, http://karkowski.bandcamp.com/releases

"The piece I sent for the DVD was made together with Korean experimental artist Una Lee and is called 'MUTATIONS'. It was loosely based on 'Mutation', a relatively quiet soundpiece by the late great Japanese sound artist Aube and by Zbigniew Karkowski. They are two giants of noise music who passed away last year. The spoken poem itself is a mashup of parts of Armand Marie Leroi's book 'Mutants: on the form, varieties and errors of the human body'."

Anti-poem & idea: Peter W
Anti-music: Dong Zhou/Congee Rats

The poem was based on the anti-music produced in Chapter 7 of the Flemish epic in Latin Ysengrimus from the year 1174, verse 116-117.

"Terminat undenis musica nostra tonis; 
armoniam quandoque damus ter quinque modorum"

"Our music has finals in eleven modes,
and sometimes we produce a melody of fifteen intervals"

"A late evening in the future.

Krapp's den.

Front centre a small table, the two drawers of which open towards audience.

Sitting at the table, facing front, i.e. across from the drawers, a wearish old man: Krapp

Rusty black narrow trousers too short for him. Rust black sleevless waistcoat, four capaciou pockets. Heavy silver watch and chain. Grimy white shirt open at neck, no 
collar. Surprising pair of dirty white boots, size ten at least, very narrow and pointed.

White face. Purple nose. Disordered grey hair. Unshaven.

very near-sighted (but unspectacled). Hard of hearing.

Cracked voice. Distinctive intonation.

Laborious walk.

On the table a tape-recorder with microphone and a number of cardboard boxes containing reels of recorded tapes."

Samuel Beckett, Krapps Last Tape.

Fieldrecordings made at Zebrastraat in Gent in February 2025.

Collaboration with Chinese experimental musician Dickson Dee. It is based on his sounds, a part of 'Blind Man Tales' by Gintas Kraptavicius & found sound by Emmanuel Mieville. The starting point was my poem 'Do You Dream About Me?'. The poem is read by Cheri Gao. It's a dreamy & sometimes noisy piece of 18 minutes in total. An intriguing combination of quiet, loud and found sound. It is very well crafted & i am proud to be part of this magnificent team! Dedicated to the late great noisemaster Zbigniew Karkowski. Part of this track used ZK sounds from the unreleased "reconstruction" album by ZK and Dickson Dee. Tattoo picture courtesy of oohvelocitygirl.blogspot.com.

Concept, idea & concoction by Peter W

"It becomes someone, it assumes a figure. This woody and headstrong denseness is metamorphosed into a supernatural thing, a sensuous not-sensuous thing, sensuous but non-sensuous, sensuously supersensible."

"Marx does not say sensuous and non-sensuous, or sensuous but non-sensuous, he says sensuous non-sensuous, sensuously supersensible. Transcendence, the movement of super, the step beyond."

(Jacques Derrida, 'Specters of Marx')

Concept, idea & concoction by Peter W

"Elle devient quelqu'un, elle prend figure. Cette densité ligneuse et têtue se métamorphose en chose surnaturelle, en chose sensible insensible, sensible mais insensible, sensiblement suprasensible."

"Mais cette transcendance n'est pas toute spirituelle, elle garde ce corps sans corps dont nous avons reconnu qu'il faisait la différence du spectre à l'esprit. Ce qui passe les sens passe encore devant nous dans la silhouette du corps sensible qui pourtant lui manque ou nous reste inaccessible. Marx ne dit pas sensible et insensible, sensible mais insensible, il dit : sensible insensible, sensiblement suprasensible. La transcendance, le mouvement en supra, le pas au-delà."

A Séance Of The Table - The Phenomenological Wasteland (French)

'Parallel Disalignment' presents the perfect title to an album grand in its quest to reach beyond something it might be seen as being part of. Besides the dynamic interplay at work throughout it, often cut with an edge which at first appears as hostile as it is impenetrable, there’s something almost uncontrollably joyous to behold. This is evident on the collaborative piece, ‘Session 46’, which witnesses the deployment of birdsong by Peter Wullen to help counter the overtly incendiary nature of the proceedings with sounds more organic or celebratory.
