“We believe that the unconscious is not a theater, but a factory.” — Deleuze

we went to the redcat theatre at the disney concert hall last night

steve roden performed a very innovative and refreshing minimalist set

exercising tasteful and well executed tonal sensibilities

alongside relevant video loops which added sonic insights

again, exquisite field recordings offered up from Aaron

hiking through the Angeles crest, snow underfoot, hitting “record”

much obliged

my friend Aaron sent me a recording of subterranean water

the audio sample is a natural generative rhythm

the short version below features a flux tempo derived from breathing patterns

from within the Musical Model:

…”in a smooth space-time one occupies without counting, whereas in striated space-time one counts in order to occupy.”

— Deleuze (referencing Boulez)

This reminds me that despite all music existing within a forced time dimension, we can find liberation from the choke hold of mechanical rhythms, and rely on the familiar: natural, internal improvisational time signature; likened to our own distinct breathing pattern

there is a gradient between absolute dark and nuclear white

the two exist together on the same plain of illumination

they require the other, necessitate the other, fluctuate between themselves

any point of light may at one time become either/or
