halF desolatE [naviarhaiku493]

You might not recognize, due to the relatively sedate background noise of this short recording, just how many cars are in this busy parking lot. This segment was recorded at an outdoor mall in Daly City, just south of San Francisco, where I was struck by the sheer volume, color, clarity, and — foremost — personality of the many birds in a group of short trees at the end of various lanes of parking spaces. If you situated yourself properly, you could focus on the pinging back and forth of a conversation — a squabble, perhaps, or the start of a scheme, more likely — unfolding just out of view. Inherent in the humor of the moment was that the birds did a good job of disguising themselves, virtually indistinguishable as they were from the brush in which they were ensconced. At first, the beeping of a car backing up seemed to violate the purity of their intraspecies communication, but when listening back to the recording, I couldn't help but note how the beeping seemed to fit naturally amid the bird calls. The birds seemed to, at times, match the tone of the beeping, and at other times leave space for the beeping, so they could talk, as it were, around it. Which is to say: the birds seemed just as cognizant of and, for better and worse, inured to the vehicular noise as are the rest of us.

This relates to Disquiet project 0615 where I uploaded a track from a small group I had recorded which I found generally unsatisfactory.  Nevertheless, I kept these tracks on file & this effort derives from one of them. I have attempted to make it more interesting by changes to tempo, pitch, & dynamics, together with some additional delay & reverb.

On today's episode Walter Smolarek and Prof. Richard Wolff discuss the dramatic new report from the IMF showing that 40 percent of all jobs in the world could be impacted by the introduction of Artificial Intelligence. Fears are deepening about mass unemployment, exploding inequality, and other potential consequences of the integration of this new technology into the world capitalist system.

Love or Insanity

The Israeli killing spree in Gaza has sparked a global movement united in support of the Palestinian people. Meanwhile the U.S. government sets imaginary “red lines” while facilitating the genocidal colonial project. This is a turning point in global history, and the Palestine solidarity movement in the West has a crucial role to play.

Brian Becker is joined by Mohammed Nabulsi, organizer with the Palestinian Youth Movement and an attorney based out of Houston.

Even If They Invade Rafah, Israel Still Can’t Win the Larger War

Insomnia Impro #3

The earth deported me
I can do nothing but leave 
The earth deported me
It doesn't care where I'll be

Even I float between galaxies 
Even atmosphere tears me into pieces
Even a probe can't detect me
Even in the vacuum I bleed

When I tried to talk with it
It said, first pay your application fee
