Starting is the hardest. 2,3 times. Anagrama, June 10, 1997. Sunset orange. Anagrama. A Spanish word lost in a sea of French. A remnant of the Franco-Spanish war. Like catholic channel islanders who religion is dictated by proximity to france. Slow start. 9:31
Pretty start, gives way to cyclic-mello bursts. Then noise in stereo. Improvisation added. Rhythmic sparks against drums. Then fade out. 2.54
Tremens, trembling. From the latin. Nearly a break-beat. Another sortie, a shortie,a short one. Doom hop. No way to rhyme over this. nightmares, agitation, global confusion, disorientation. a playful end 3.22

memories. Voices as instruments. I believe you, KG 3.28
"Invito al ĉielo" ("An Invitation to Heaven"). Esperanto. Who says the trumpets that brought down the walls of Jericho couldn’t be free jazz? Not as wild as Walker descending into that bar in Point Blank. Woozy towards the end,.February 24 to March 2, 1998. JO’R soon to be a member. You can hear it in the voices .KG’s and a looped tape, sped up slowed down. Musique concrète. This is JO’R. Sound is the vocabulary of nature.

---Koan: Having Never Written a Note for percussion (For John Bergamo)~[Excerpt]. Slow rise, insistent. Shane Carruth title. Wonder what Tenne y makes of the idea of the inherent goodness of people and nature. 9:09
"Six (4th Take)". Cage, the wunderkind. “Time brackets contain single sounds. Long sounds should be played softly, using tremolo and/or with brushes.” Cinderblock crashes at the end there. 2:10
Christian Wolff, slight return. Burdocks, truncated and updated: Something of the kid koala in the scratches there. Plaintive and jarring at the same time. Saucepan ,usic. 13:12
The wunderkind again. Another number piece: Four6, for any way of producing sounds. A slog, 30:01. Settle in. note the nice bit of symmetry: “Six (4th Take)”/"Four6".
