"In Synthesis with Infinite Is" radio show on 91.5 WOOL.fm live sets

"By the 2030s, serving a prison sentence had evolved into an exceptionally cruel and bizarre experience, though potently efficient and, somehow, well-respected. Gone were the days of sitting around idly, just trying not to get beaten up while waiting for your sentence to be over. No, you were incarcerated in a virtual penal education portal. Imagine a video game that felt, sounded, and looked like reality, but where you were made, with vivid, graphic detail, to relive your crime against humanity from the receiving end in shocking and deeply moving ways that could only be imagined. Then, you were forced to learn, at length, the gaps in your ignorance. Through the brutal autocracy of supply-side economics, private prisons devolved into skyscrapers full of tiny cells, barely wider than the wingspan of a large adult. Strapped into "the machine," as they called it, and plugged into "Convict University", your body and mind were constantly in motion, while in reality, you were in a perpetual state of aestivation. A highly engineered fungus was both part of your daily sustenance and your captor. It was forced through a tube, along with a nutrient-rich slurry awash in hypnotic drugs and antibiotics. This was such a cheaper and more effective form of incarceration and re-education that it swept the globe. Even so, some estimated that a full 3.8% of the planet's global energy output was consumed by these towers of torpor and the systems that re-learned all those who needed their thinking corrected. Curiously, these systems had originally been designed by the Russians for keeping mortal bodies working and minds sharp during deep space travel and were adapted to this disturbingly efficacious purpose upon that once-proud nation’s plunge into the depths of cruel, capitalistic oligarchy..."

Towers Of Torper

On this the week of 1-8-21 on “In Synthesis with Infinite Is”, we begin the show with some sounds reflecting on the seditious riot of the superstitious right at our nations capital. We are deeply saddened and disappointed at the lives lost and the trust that was squandered in service of despotic, superstitious lies and a selfish mans injured pride. We must steel ourselves against this blatant attack on our democracy and find a way forward that respects all those who built this great nation and look forward to a vision of a more just, rational, compassionate and truthful path.


We then convey a few area announcements and review a live in studio set from December of 2019 called "The Battle Of The Beeg". An ode to the biofreighter of legend and those who lived for it's mission. The show closes with a deep and melodic closing improv session.

Sedition Of The Superstitious

"Stranded just a few kilometers from the fast moving kill zone, Basakai crawled away from the horrifying sounds and smells of the biofreighters approaching storm of deadly falling spikes. A great cloud of death, soil and debris reared up toward the upper atmosphere, like a giant poisonous wave, poised to smash down upon a tiny boat. Already the wind carried the first wisps of heat, fine dust and the smell of vaporizing infrastructure. There would be no escape from this erasure. Then looking back upon the last few maneuvers, this poor, wretched fool now began to see where it all went wrong. What a reckless idiot, how could anyone be so easily convinced to put all their eggs in one hatchettolite hole like that. Why oh why?

 A stench of fungus began to filter into the leading edge of the dust cloud and the acrid air tasted like metal. Basakai knew that this meant that there was only a short time before the poison scrambled every sensory input and jumbled every code. Breaking down atomic bonds of all living things, the experience was engineered with the final mercy of immeasurable bliss on behalf of the soon to be victims, the transition from living to dead would culminate in a brilliant flash of white hot pleasure. Once this poor soldier’s butterflies began floating, the terror washed away and there was nothing left to do but flip over and spread out on the trembling ground facing the sky.

 Deep breaths now, exhale slowly, the brilliant warm glow builds even through closed eyelids. It was over, it was time to give in to entropy. Basakai swallowed hard, belly quivering with adrenaline and the great shaking of the ground beneath.  There will be no one left to remember the sacrifice of this one life, in just a few revolutions, this planet will be unrecognizable, once the Rhizomes take hold. All Basakai could do now was to follow training and begin counting backwards..."

On this the week of 1-22-21 on "In Synthesis With Infinite Is" the show opens with a dramatic, high energy hour long live set. Then in the second hour we listen back to a live, in studio jam from 4-17-20 called "Loud Like Lisimbala".

Then after the conveyance of a few area announcements the show closes with a melodic improv set. Clips were clipped, beats were beaten, tones were toned and much fun was had by all.

Basakai's Bioconversion (pt 1)

Mirror
Lyrics by Jeff Ramen


because we live
because we die
because the stars
light up the sky

it’s not within
it’s not without
face to face
break through the doubt

because we live
because we die
because the summer
fireflies

its neither here
its neither there
empty rooms
there’s no one there

because we give
because we care
because its lost 
it’s always there

bright prisms
break the light
broken glass 
that splits the night

Mirror

"The atmosphere shimmered emerald green with aurora that night, from horizon to horizon, it filled the sky. A single, hectic point, was visibly pulsing a dazzling array of color. It would be the last signal that the Arecibo observatory would receive before it was crippled. Some suspected that the damage was inflicted to prevent further communications from being heard. This massive dish was uniquely apt at sucking in the singing, broad spectrum signal. Flaring with great intensity, Proxima Centauri, a low mass main sequence star was somehow transmitting a bizarre data stream. Nobody seemed to be able to translate into useful information, yet there could be no doubt that the star was pulsing with this sort of obviously ordered transmission. Just shy of an hour, the recording presented such a startling rhythm, and the strangest alien sounding melody, the scientists tasked with trying to decode it would play the audible portion of the spectrum as they worked. In fact it was leaked and soon became a popular hit on all of the planets top 40 charts somehow, everyone seemed to become obsessed with it’s hypnotic draw. Almost overnight it was nearly impossible to escape it as it was broadcast 24 hours a day, on every frequency. It leapt from boomboxes, screeched from drive through speakers, careened out of car stereos, crept from clip on speakers, that began to hang from crowds of distracted pedestrians, like parasites. It echoed out of minarets, church steeples, it was on the subway, at the grocery store, in the elevator, blaring thinly from every phone, tablet and laptop. Gogo, somehow knew, like a very select few, that from the moment he heard it, he had to stop it, he had to shut down the mountain, and disable the massive dish and quick..."

On this the week of 1-29-21 on "In Synthesis with Infinite Is", we begin with a robot voiced message from our closest star system, Proxima Centauri with a tune called "Proxima Calling". Then we travel back in spacetime where we listen in to jets whooshing toward a shimmering wall of wormhole called "All The Kings Horses". After a few area announcements we have a long suureal look at our reflection when Jeff seizes control of the vocoder for a piece entitled "Mirror". Contemplations were contemplated, Thoughts were thunk, counterpoints were pointed out, voices were vocoded and much fun was had by all.

Proxima Calling (pt 1)

"Wake tracing was a lonely, mostly boring, though sometimes terrifying way to make a quick profit for those fool enough to take the bounty hunt on. It took great skill, and powerful processing, to keep yourself in a blind spot where your quarry would not detect your surveillance. Holly Hawk’s ship Knifedge was purpose built for this task. Long and thin it presented very little for radar to bounce off, so long as the profile was properly oriented. Sometimes if a ship were trying to evade, it’s countermeasures included sounding buoys meant to flank such stealthy craft. Usually they would be dropped in pairs or quads, though any number of asymmetric configurations were possible. Many solutions involved tumbling through the trap in a precise dance that took the sort of steady finesse only a computer was able to calculate on such short notice. That is unless you were strong in predictive motion like our intrepid hunter Hawk. This was turning out to be a very difficult assignment indeed though, in fact she had never chased a ship that put so much effort into not wanting to be followed. Constantly clearing the baffles at all sorts of random intervals she was doing a lot more dancing than she could enjoy..."

On this the week of 12-11-20 on In Synthesis with Infinite Is the show opens with a spaced out hour long improv number that rings the cosmic bells of the sparkling sky with rhythm and motion. Then Jeff brings us one of his strange projects called Octothorp. After a few area announcements the show closes with a shortish graceful ambient improv set. Melodies were mellowed, signatures were signed, Harmonies were harmed and much fun was had by all.

Angles and Dangles

Just like the photons that were created more than 13 billion years ago traveling at what we thought was a Cosmological Constant, time is an illusion. Were you that photon, you would not experience any time at all, the journey would happen in less than an instant. In fact everything to a photon moving at the speed of light happens in less than an instant, things do not appear or disappear, they are not created or destroyed, they just are, infinitely. The universe and everything that was ever and will ever begin and end, Is, infinitely.

When we get in touch with the present, we can be with the Is, all of the possible futures and pasts unfold before us, time and space are one and at once both static and dynamic. There are an infinite amount of ways to experience the Is, these are a few of our explorations of the Infinite Is.
