In Focus: Simon Diaz

This record needs ,or is pleading to have a FAC/tory catalogue number, but for an “actual”? factory state-of -mind ;-documentation for the disenfranchised and exiled snot !;-the love herein is turned fumescent and gluey NUSIDM (THE Australian Glen Schenau) has “de” and “re”-constructed a cell dwelling paradigm to his desire, or for it? Where whatever’s “ugly”? And squalid is honorable or not at all .
The artist, hard to believe, means to communicate through his incarceration, self -imposed but needing people “still” and needling away from people. Society .Community. Ptoooey,,
So, here is the sore kneed agitation audio. The cranky, sullen ,broken telescopic perception.,(for your delight). Here’s a record out of it !
Here’s a record because of it !!
,,the tap ,tap,tapping Throbbing Gristle as his Sam Cooke,coughing up hearts into his pillow, Cabaret Voltaire in times like these of strike anxiety,power outs,schematic curfews,
Can you hear !?-Through his wall
Dead c -on -45-faking Otis unplugged and dismissive of prescriptive sleep and food regimes , The most elegant ornamentation in the place is Chinese take out containers for drums ,leaving food half -eaten and ideals colder still,
Factory pharma #16
In isolation (quarantine ),the artist is many Itchy ,scrapey,picky,fidgety a neurasthenic rhythm orchestra hitting shit to establish his “voice”, corrupted and begging for translation,through crust caked sonic layers Ooze and stuck poster foliage ,
By the time he’s “understood”?
He’s enraged
Beyond “rescue “?Wronged again and flattening bugs not fast enough to scurry for cover with shoe heel percussion,
There’s anxiety in the hint taint of incoming Mass production, this after all is a small project, uncommodified Rodent protest to Romance Enjoying a bit too much the taste and texture of its own chewed up tail,
But Wait!! On occasion there’s light!!
Accessible toy flutes and whistles ,
Flare and scratch colors across the drain stained sound fields
Subliminal swathes from out of cut up ventilator shafts ,
Herald Interzone !! rooftop epiphanic -cacophonies of promise !1!
,as if Royal trux are scoring a requiem for a hasty wedding for quicker money ,
The only kindness ,..He may be gone already !?
He’s crossed out !
Abandoned himself to rumor
Of course he’s left , This before he “clocked out” as a big FACt#0 Gotta love NUSIDM ,,
