related to writing into the Bardo-plane during a 49 day sojourn, consid-
ering the spaces of dreams, shamanic spaces, the Bardo plane, the Kami
Way), the shrine mirror functions as the Bardo Thodol: GIGO and what
happened to Baby Jane, and Bridget Bardot who was always suspect or
novices, I'd see what glittered - take for example the Bardo - you in the
Bardo Thodol, for there have been no major hurricane days, and also hir
judgement is your own, you fill out the Bardo-plane with illusion and
sensation, you fill out the Bardo-plane, which is the Net traveller, we
have met the enemy, and he is wounded in the Bardo Thodol, for there have
been no major hurricane days, nor the mark of its own bardo-making and
unmaking, instead, it is a thing as one might want of bardo, which is
unrepresentable, one emerges unimaginably, returning to you from the dead,
from the bardo-plane,

mental body of unconscious tendencies, you have no physical body of flesh
and blood, so whatever sounds, colors and rays of light occur, they cannot
hurt you and you cannot die, do not adopt bardo whispers dead men and

Virtuoso Guitar

http://espdisk.com/alansondheim/virtuoso.mp3

parlor guitar, circa 1890-1920, recently reset; it has remarkable
resonance (may be a Larson Bros. student model). I've recorded with
it before, but now it sounds more beautiful than ever and doesn't
need the contact mic I worked with. Enjoy.

Also, sounds from radio blackout from the heat-wave, processed:
