Signior Dildo (excerpt)

Back in March 2020, a visit to Llangrannog in West Wales triggered this poem which I musicked a few weeks later as a virtual vocal ensemble with a smidgin of electronic meddling. 

The glistening strata inside the cave looked nice enough to eat.

"º"

Squeeze inside her [darkness]

Among the blackened, black and hilariously tortured slab:
a core, a quern to grind out light –
iridot spackled, 
glossed with earth-juices in a glister 
over candy-curved laydown layerdown saltlicks.

Here is all the trove: 

Jet – for the North and the curdled dark
Amber: in memory of the dawn
Flint for the Southern fire
And in the West, the Hydrophane.

(A kist of kindness against that tide)

Sush – ah. 
Shingle-drawn; seeking, shrinking, 
calling up from under shuddering sea.

This day, apart. An age a-parting,
time twisted as the mazy rockwall.

They’ll never find you here.

Center no Distractor
From the EP 'Nothing aiming is a splinter' (2013)


Center no Distractor, the latest project of the collaborative duo Stephanie Pan and Stelios Manousakis, is an explosion of movement, physicality and gritty, thumping beats, for taiko and live electronics. Performances are simultaneously a concert, an exploration of sound and body, a visual spectacle; it is dance for the ears, the body, the eyes and the mind.


All compositions by Center no Distractor

Stephanie Pan: tateuchi taiko
Stelios Manousakis: live electronics, programming

Recorded at Zeebelt Theater, Dec 2012
Recorded, edited, mixed and mastered by Stelios Manousakis
