Post-Operative http://www.alansondheim.org/nf25.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/remov.mp4 From the Neil Fried / Azure Carter/ myself recording session - reworking the initial files, combining, applying inverse dynamics, cutting, reversing, mixing, to what end? to the eternal sloping of the cable car, what a dizzying production! A post-operative production to be sure, one that violates the intangible amanuensis of real time; perhaps the listener is standing just there, behind my right shoulder (I am left- handed) - the continuous application of shaping or molding what came before (what had been into what might have or have not been - who can reverse time?) - an operation of great consequence in fact, a music of descent from top to bottom, without descent of any sort! - perhaps beginning from the end - perhaps ending where it began - so unclear - nuclear in fact. Neil and Azure know, I am sure, I hear eternity calling - I answer the call - I produce, I know, that it is always post-operative, that the body began, primordial, long before it ended.
