Ben Patterson - Paper Piece

“Hybrid Xtended” es un acuerdo mutuo entre dos personas a post de su encuentro por primera vez en un mundo físico. Es un acercamiento desde la lejanía a través de los medios de comunicación como soporte al amor y la amistad. “No fue hasta la llegada del telégrafo que pudieron los mensajes viajar más rápidamente que los mensajeros. Antes, las carreteras y las palabras escritas estaban estrechamente relacionadas entre sí. Es sólo desde el telégrafo que la información ha podido disociarse de soportes tan sólidos como la piedra o el papiro como antes se disoció el dinero de las pieles y metales preciosos para acabar en papel.” Es la creación de metáforas en forma de sonidos, texturas, afectos y memoria almacenada. El internet se convirtió en un punto / refugio de encuentro para cargar y descargar ideas, pensamientos y de esta forma mantener “la conexión”, mantenerse "online".

Inspiradxs en el libro de Marshall Mcluhan “Comprender los medios de comuicación” y “Cyborg Anthropology”, donde el autor plantea que las todos los cambios sociales son el efecto que las nuevas tecnologías ejercen sobre el orden de nuestras vidas sensoriales. Su concepto de aldea global ha dado origen al de globalización, término que parece definir la actual sociedad de la información.

Xmas Jollies 2022

Instrumental cue, hybrid jazz-rock

Recorded February 2023, mixed Friday 10th march 2023.


Live studio  improvisation with Miguel Yanover on sax (@yanomito), I played a nylon-string electric bass.
We jammed over a pre recorded (by me) drum track and later I overdubbed a Hammond Organ trying to save this one from the trash lid.

Still, even if I love the live sax and bass interplay, this is a great candidate to be a  "forever unused" track. So I'm glad to mix it this morning and share it here.

Cheers

Nocturnal Studio Jam Number 2 (disquiet0584)

Stop calling the Iraq War a "mistake". When you make a mistake, you make changes to ensure that mistake is not repeated. Nobody responsible for that invasion suffered any consequences of any kind, zero policy changes were made, and the unipolarist ideology which led to it has become more entrenched than ever.

Reading by Tim Foley.

Stop Calling The Iraq War A 'Mistake'

They sent the soldiers back after a crazy, stupid world war
which was the sequel to another crazy, stupid world war,
sent them back with demons in their minds,
with twisted corpses in their minds,
corpses missing their parts,
corpses with their inside parts on the outside,
corpses still screaming because they did not yet know that they were corpses,
corpses who just moments before were not corpses but trusted friends.

Sent them back from the war to live in the Levittowns, giant suburban sprawls with clean white picket fences for clean white families with clean white faces,
tidy little houses with enough space in between that a man can live like a man,
can drink enough to temporarily bury the corpses in his mind,
can beat his children and rape his wife without troubling the neighbors, can comfortably scream PTSD screams from the depths of hell at night,
can do some home repairs and work on his car on the weekend.

The suburbs still scream those screams of unburied war corpses, screams handed down from generation to generation by cruel hands and serrated words, cruel hands and serrated words doled out behind closed doors in private castles separated by fences and lawns, lawns of worthiness,
lawns of salvation,
lawns that if green enough will erase the sins of our fathers,
lawns watered with the tears of warehoused wives, lawns watered with the sweat of the working poor, lawns watered with the blood of indigenous gods,
overlooked by windows with snarling faces peaking through blinds
or mothers with medicated eyes spoon-feeding grains into the bellies of crying children.

After the war they went to the suburbs and pretended everything was fine (it wasn’t fine) and spent the 1950s pouring emotional concrete over their pain and savaging their children and pretending everything was fine (it wasn’t fine),
and now those houses are all haunted by ghosts pretending everything is fine
(it isn’t fine)
and haunted by living people pretending everything is fine
(it isn’t fine)
as we fill our oceans and our blood with plastic and laugh plastic laughs at screens full of plastic people
pretending everything is fine (it isn’t fine),
charging toward armageddon carrying the anguish of our grandfathers on our shoulders
the way they carried their fallen friends on the battlefield on their shoulders before they realized that their friends were corpses and fell to the ground
and cried out for their mothers,
and then got up,
and then went home,
and never breathed a word about it
to anyone.

The Levittowns

In the span of just a few hours we learned that Israel committed a horrific massacre at al-Shifa hospital, struck an Iranian consulate in Syria killing multiple Iranian military officers, and killed a vehicle full of international aid workers in an airstrike. This murderous regime is out of control.
