audio w/ camera coupled to plate glass, and in other situations
hollowed murmurs, machinery, occasional vocalizations, city
speech. c'est chic and swell

deflections displacements deferments detours detainments
from where / to where? there are ghosts in these machines in
each and every tongue, pierced and coupled

: the language which shattered the tongue of the body's tongue
against language itself. my tongue deconstructed by placid
Europe's frozen assets, liquidities of assignations. a beacon
of hope. a secret message. eye to ear.

Working on a new cd - Sure I play as fast as possible By every
means possible Working in ways in which I try not to repeat
things I already know But to try to harness speed without being
That much aware of what I have done before So that it is future
speed future and this is future speed future one And so I am
riding the contour I am riding the contour of what I am hearing
And my fingers flailing about As if I wear under control Or that
the music was with in control Which the music is not and I am
not and this is the result And I can think of a whole CD which I
am working on now Which will have this as its content As its
fundamental or basic content And that's what I will be doing In
terms of music for the next few months period so this . This
period an attempt To work with violin And in this case a 5
string violin And also a cure a sauce With kurista rings Tu nhi
.  a cura saz with cura strings / to be sure i play / as if i
were under control / music was within control // 5 string not so
fast / too much wandering / consonance //
