This is the text element of an installation created last year for The Cad Factory's On Common Ground. The intention was to research matters related to the Narrandera Common and surrounding area and make a text specific to that place and its stories. A kind of psychogeographical map making exercise in  interconnectedness. Initially I thought it would be a series of lists of words, but I found I was unable to (or did not want to) extract my emotive reaction from what I encountered in the research and the project turned into something else. When I had finished writing I discovered I had a very strong compulsion to speak the words aloud at the installation site. It seemed to me that the work would be incomplete unless this happened. After responding to the land, looking for a language of land, I felt there needed to be a cyclic resolution, and that meant I had to return the words to their source location. I knew this would mean a pouring out of sound, taking the text out of my head, out of its existence as silent ink marks on paper, and into the space as vibrations and echoes.

Lets wish we weren't real, Before it's too late

Cast in sediments of the last great flood, Pangaean Permafaction stands as a collective of experimental sound artists who may never physically meet.  

Current projects are traversing four points of the globe, between participants in Australia and England:


*A Patch Of Nettles* — a solo sound project from small town New South Wales, Australia, keeping busy adapting field recordings to acousmatic arrangements, constructing electronic instruments and collaborating with strangers. Nettles is regular contributor to the avant garde Disquiet Junto project and is published on Bandcamp and Soundcloud. 


*Pytchblend* —  an English sound artist whose work studies the half-awake moments before the onset of sleep using  AMSR and frisson-inducing spectral manipulation into audio dreamlets. Pytchblend is a regular on RTÉ’s Nova in Ireland, Berlin Community Radio and is published on Bandcamp and Soundcloud and youtube.

*TheNumbersInTheDream* — an English multi-instrumental itinerant sorcerer, wearing a hat of eternal paradox.  At times, he is not real. Other times he creates warmly received echoing melodies shrouded by inscrutable ghost voices. Nick can be found on the Fag Ash Records net label, Soundcloud , youtube and spinning sound on Mixcloud where he inexorably winds new genres in song.

*KeithysDunimselfaMischief* —  an Australian sound artist who poses the question, "does the silence create the sound or does the sound create the silence?"  He finds that the answer is unreservedly, “yes it does”.  He has received regular Australian airplay on RN's Sound Quality , and Bay FM in northern NSW. He enjoys sleeping and is published on Soundcloud. 

Sketches from England's bleakly industrial biomechanical heartland.

Come with me now to the subconscious borderlands of sleep and wakefulness.  Explore the sensory phantasmata of hypnagogic dreamlets.  Feel static-like frisson sensations tingling down your spine.  Join me on the journey into the heart of etherCore.
