Future Speed Future 1 http://www.alansondheim.org/forward.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/cura1.mp3 http://www.alansondheim.org/5violin.mp3 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 // --- (for those still interested btw, here's the final elo paper - supercedes the others - http://www.alansondheim.org/elofinal.docx )

Crystal City Montreal https://youtu.be/hj5pRUSWdFg my thoughts turn to animals floating and turbulent in whatever sky and water floating and projecting no one else can see what i see what i have seen what ghosts what miasmas attracted from my brutal birthplace where i cannot count the uncountable where i cannot ascertain the unaccounted-for where i am bereft where the sun refuses its character of nightly assignations from the hollow world into the hollow world sky fractures where i am bereft where the floating projects itself into those who are stationed there where the humane land must reject our violent american ways
My talk (audio) at ELO, Montreal http://www.alansondheim.org/mtl098.jpg http://www.alansondheim.org/elotalk.mp3 Davin Heckman moderated; Talan Memmott also talked. It was a grand session! (discussion of both of our presentations omitted)
Now in Montreal https://youtu.be/wwCHkBeLH9o http://www.alansondheim.org/mtl014.jpg Rue Sanginuet Now in Montreal The story 38 years ago I walk here now. Now I walk here. Now I cannot pass, beneath here. Above here. I cannot pass. I passed before. (Or [In this contingent fact. I passed before. Of one or another I passed before. Of the light in the loft. Of the images.]) Never. Our lives are not in our lives. Not by the short shot. Nor the long. Not a bit of it. Memory fills with the death of memory. Memory has no name. Then in Montreal. I walk in Montreal. I pass. I pass someone. Someone has no name. And memory? Memory has no name.
