A cover of Robot Girlfriend's "Memorial" done for a maj7 cover ring. I wanted to hear what this track would sound like with a "Water Palace" from SoM treatment, and this was the result.

Robot Girlfriend, arr. ModalModule - Palace of Memories (Memorial cover)

fiendish rivalry (collab w/ svipal)

(this song was made 07/15/2012)

i can finally upload music that i made on my ds 😌 it only took a decade.

now the question is do i want to upload everything? and do i upload that here or my secondary soundcloud (that up to now i've only used to upload arrangements of existing songs)? do i want to upload a unique piece of art for each song, or leave it as the original basic record cover art? i'll figure it out.. in the meantime please enjoy this piece of music that is significantly better than most stuff i made in diy :)

prog note: 

Christopher Knowles (b.1959) first gained recognition in the 1970s when avant-garde theatre director Robert Wilson received an audio tape of Knowles reciting his poem, ‘Emily Likes the TV.’ Fascinated by Knowles’ unique use of language, which consisted of continuous, repeated variations on simple phrases in what seemed to be highly organised sequences, Wilson cast Knowles in a number of his productions, including Einstein on the Beach. ‘It was a piece coded much like music. Like a cantata or fugue it worked with conjugations of thoughts repeated in variations.’ 

This piece is based on the audio from a 2017 performance of ‘Emily Likes the TV.’ Knowles’ words and rhythms are transcribed and discrete musical blocks are mapped onto their corresponding linguistic parts to create a musical language that mirrors the patterns and structures of the poem. While transcribing his voice, I was struck not just by the musicality of his phrasing, but also by how closely it resembles the collage-like, ‘chop and screw’ techniques of DJs and producers working in sample-based electronic music. It seems to resonate deeply with how language works in the digital era, where syntax is rendered infinitely malleable by cut-and-paste tools, auto-correct functions and predictive text. It’s language conceived as building blocks, like Lego, to be playfully constructed, deconstructed, shuffled and manipulated at will; an infinite variation of sequences generated from a single line of text: 'Emily likes the TV, because she watches the TV, because she likes it.'
