Le vent à Djémila, extrait du recueil ‘Noces’ d’Albert Camus lu sur ‘blue light music’ de from e. 

Écrit à 25 ans, ‘Noces’ mêle les paysages de son pays natal, l’Algérie, avec les réflexions d’un Camus à l’âge où l’on se pose toutes les questions du monde, et où nous sommes sûr de rien. « On vit avec quelques idées familières » dit-il « Il faut dix ans pour avoir une idée bien à soi —dont on puisse parler. Naturellement c’est un peu décourageant. Mais l’homme y gagne une certaine familiarité avec le beau visage du monde. »

Il y a comme un sentiment d’amour dans ce recueil, pour tout ce qui s’offre à nous, malgré la présence de la peur et de l’horreur ; à Djémila, sous les ruines et le soleil de plomb, nous pouvons s’arrêter un temps afin d’essayer de comprendre un tant soit peu ce qu’est la beauté, le bonheur, la jeunesse, la mort, l’espoir. 

 Puisque le paysage est un champs libre pour y déceler la vie.  

« Ce bain violent de soleil et de vent épuisait toutes mes forces de vie. A peine en moi ce battement d’ailes qui affleure, cette vie qui se plaint, cette faible révolte de l’esprit. Bientôt, répandu aux quatre coins du monde, oublieux, oublié de moi-même, je suis ce vent et dans le vent, ces colonnes et ces arc, ces dalles qui sentent chaud et ces montagnes pâles autour de la ville déserte. Et jamais je n’ai senti, si avant, à la fois mon détachement de moi-même et ma présence au monde. 

Oui, je suis présent. »

Le Vent À Djémila, Albert Camus

Listen to the 43rd edition of Free City Radio that features an interview with author and activist Harsha Walia speaking on the book "Global Migration, Capitalism, and the Rise of Racist Nationalism," recently published. Harsha's book is described this way : 

"In Border and Rule, one of North America’s foremost thinkers and immigrant rights organizers delivers an unflinching examination of migration as a pillar of global governance and gendered racial class formation.

Harsha Walia disrupts easy explanations for the migrant and refugee crises, instead showing them to be the inevitable outcomes of conquest, capitalist globalization, and climate change generating mass dispossession worldwide. Border and Rule explores a number of seemingly disparate global geographies with shared logics of border rule that displace, immobilize, criminalize, exploit, and expel migrants and refugees. With her keen ability to connect the dots, Walia demonstrates how borders divide the international working class and consolidate imperial, capitalist, ruling class, and racist nationalist rule. Ambitious in scope and internationalist in orientation, Border and Rule breaks through American exceptionalist and liberal responses to the migration crisis and cogently maps the lucrative connections between state violence, capitalism, and right-wing nationalism around the world."

Words by Gil Scott-Heron

''America provided the atmosphere for the blues and the blues was born
The blues was born on the American wilderness
The blues was born on the beaches where the slave ships docked
Born on the slave man's auction block
The blues was born and carried on the howling wind
The blues grew up a slave
The blues grew up as property
The blues grew up in Nat Turner visions
The blues grew up in Harriet Tubman courage
The blues grew up in small town deprivation
The blues grew up in big city isolation
The blues grew up in the nightmares of the white man
The blues grew up in the blues singing of Bessie and Billie and Ma
The blues grew up in Satchmo's horn, on Duke's piano and Langston's poetry, on Robeson's baritone''

The words are from the closing paragraphs of the Michael C Ruppert book Crossing the Rubicon.

His plea seems more pertinent now than when penned in 2006.

#MUSICIANSFORPALESTINE PODCAST 4 - DRMNGNOW

"There is a moment after you move your eye away
when you forget where you are
because you’ve been living, it seems,
somewhere else, in the silence of the night sky.

You’ve stopped being here in the world.
You’re in a different place,
a place where human life has no meaning.

You’re not a creature in body.
You exist as the stars exist,
participating in their stillness, their immensity.

Then you’re in the world again.
At night, on the cold hill,
taking the telescope apart.

You realize afterward
not that the image is false
but the relation is false.

You see again how far away
every thing is from every other thing."

Telescope , by Louise Glück..

My linux won't boot so I'm presently forced to use Windows, and because of the bug in Soundcloud's system my account is all messed up when I don't use a VPN to connect which I am unable to do now... trying to get help from my VPN provider.  Because of this, and because I started working very long days I will be less present here.  Sorry, I'm trying.

2024/02/22:
Hi,
"Tracks: 0" is wrong, it should read 40.
Ever since the closing of this account by error by SC two or three months ago, this problem has remained unfixed.  Soundcloud and their AI are apparently still working on solving this and other problems with this account, and with my other account ; )

2024/01/29:
What I wrote below was heart felt but presumptuous and pretentious.  I would have to not be stupid myself to be allowed to claim such a thing.  More importantly though, I don't believe it is correct or accurate.  These people are probably not stupid but just don't care.  Justice is a collective thing and many if not most people seem to live in bubbles.  It is perhaps economic oppression which is responsible, they just don't have the resources, the time, the energy to be concerned about what lies behond that bubble.  It used to be fine but there's this thing they call globalization which makes this increasingly impractical or impossible.

mid January 2024:
Justice and vengeance are not the same.  Apparently most people are too stupid to see the difference.  Unfortunately it is not something unique to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and not unique to group conflicts.

What happened to intelligence?  Aren't we supposed to be the "intelligent" specie.

Here's the other account, for celebrities, ... this one here is for regular folks:

I love you.

You can't see it because of the angle with which I took the shot, aiming down, but beyond those blocks is the sea.  To the left is the Mediterranean, to the right is the Atlantic Ocean.  No it's not Gibraltar, but a little bit further West.

I'm trying to promote what I think is good music, so if you want to help out a bit I'd rather you [like] or [repost] my *playlists* rather than my field recordings, if you don't mind, unless you are a die hard fan of those things. Thank you ; )

I speak French, so if you send me a private message, and that you are a francophone, please write in French, thank you.  ... I mean, you don't absolutely have to, but I would prefer it. 

All my field recordings (except for when I record a person) are public, freely downloadable by anyone who is able to click on the button.  I encourage anyone interested to use them in any way whatsoever, on purpose or accidentally. No need for permissions or credits or any other kind  of administrative maneuvers.
...

Anarchists give me hope.

I'm a big fan of EFF.  Love ya EFF.  (no connection with the above line)
... and of course Richard Stallman and Linux and all the others.  Bless yous.

Now don't be lazy, go find out what it is this "EFF" that I'm talking about.  I'll give you a hint: it has to do with computers.

You have a nice day now.  Hugs & Kisses.
