“Work with the intention of slowly fading from sight.”

Returning to the light from the darkness of 2012’s ‘In a Lonely Place’, The Tape Loop Orchestra and Facture present ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’, a landmark intersection of music and visual media. Interrogating the contradictory dualism in the life that inspires art, this unique project displays the panoramic influence of Ozu, Neuer Deutscher Film, Weldon Kees and Yves Klein, as well as forming of a larger arch with TLO’s ongoing body of work.

“Distortions are inherent to representation.”

Examining the multiple philosophical strands found 'In Search Of The Miraculous' - Dutch artist Bas Jan Ader’s intended trio of art actions, P D Ouspensky's book of the same name, Gurdjieff's early teachings - TLO pay homage to the artist’s continual search, even when the camera isn’t looking; searching for miracles, or simply an answer to the metaphysical why...

If life is art, can the artist decide where art ends and art life begins? Can they co-exist in one form? Do we celebrate the art or the artist?

“Death isn’t about judgement, it collects us all.”

As with all TLO releases, the material was recorded after development in live performance, with the new approach of using multi-track control over trademark tape disintegration for the first time. Edited, sequenced and mastered by James Plotkin for both CD and vinyl, with both formats offering different versions of the same work, ‘Go Straight To The Light Of All That You Love’ is an ambitious and densely rewarding entry in a sequence that fiercely questions the collective human failure to unravel complexity.

Lyrics:

I close my eyes 
I drift away 
Feel my lungs
Rise and fall all on their own 
No longer anchored to my bones

I linger behind
And watch a pair of eyes
Scan a mirror
All on their own
Like breathing;
Like they know

In the glass she blurs
Like a doll,
Tossed and turned
And I wonder 
How much longer
I can just stand here
And observe

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Walk the city streets with the spying walls 
Where the blinking eyes have control 
Someone carved them deep into the sides of your skull 
It’s hard to fend them off when they’ve made the lights so dull

Tightening fists and twisted figures 
Pretty faces and broken mirrors:
Those ones you never trust cos they always seem to lie
When it’s really not you that’s staring back into your eyes

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Take me by the hand
We’ll run away 
Till the world is far behind 
Find a land with an entry fee of a lost mind

Be free of this skin
And see the woman you never really wanted to be
Picking at yourself in the glass 
Your one last plea
Oh
Is that me?

Oh
But is it really the mirror who lies?
Or am I
The broken one

Lyrics:

{Verse 1}

Crimson red,
Bleeding endless into navy skies.
(Into the night)
Cold, dark streets,
Empty alleyways and flickering lights.
(Your cold hand in mine).

{Instrumental}

(Hear my cry…
I am lost) 

{Verse 2}

Hold you tight,
Scared cause I don’t want to be alone.
(I need to let you go).
Hear me out:
What we had before has already gone.
(It’s already gone).

{Bridge}

Cause all I see are shadows, we’re just shadows
Of our former selves.
Lost in the darkness, lost to my darkness,
And now the walls close in on us.

Suffocating, breathless, caught in this mess, this
Minefield of demise. 
Tripped up and lost it, I took the wrong step
And now there’s nothing left of us.

{Chorus}

I thought we could fix this.
But then I looked into the mirror and a thousand reflections stared
Brokenly at us.
I saw what I’d done.
The damage I’d caused and your lifeless eyes as you
Stood right by my side.

{Outro}

(I did this) 
(I thought we could fix this)

Lyrics:
unfold me
there are still things that i am trying to rinse
poke a leak
to let them flow out and in
put a river in me
i feel okay but tired a lot
it’s too quiet with the window shut
i opened it to hear the air caught in the leaves
and then in my breathing
scoop out the core
and lather it onto the mantle
no one has lived here before
i gather it was inhospitable
i feel okay but tired a lot
it’s too quiet with the window shut
i was walking through the park and i thought
i don’t hate myself
i don’t berate myself like i used to
