About Me

“There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all Time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium and be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine: how good it is; nor how valuable it is; nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open … no artist is pleased…there is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others.” -Margaret MeadWe are now the Ghost Quartet. Were still stopping the robot, but under the official title of Ghost Quartet. In any process, comes the introduction, gradual acceptance, standardization, and shortly thereafter, the rapid fall into disfavor through excessive use. Rural Massachusetts. Experimental. Trying to break the cycle. Of executive design. Too many clones. Can't breathe. Too much make-up. Not us. In the air. Break the cycle. Double think.Robots. Not us. Robots. Can't think. Double think. Welcome to the future. cycle. Caged.We are Stopping th Robot. Rusty sky. Can't think. Double think. There's a short in the system.Break. Static electric moment. Automatic sky. The proof's in the projection. Evaporate and ionize. Campfire. Sandcastle. Color. Bummer. Cycle.With the fundamental, comes the decomposition into harmonics."the band built up an impressive piece of music, going from a fistfight swing into funky cacophony and back again. Barrett's bass was muscular and bruising, the horns nagged, then suddenly the improvised music opened out to a serene clearing, a harmonious G-sharp, until Holmes skritched a dissonant melody line on his electric guitar. Soon the sounds morphed into a dixieland reggae skank .. .and then it all petered out." --- Ken Mauri - Hampshire Gazette_____________________________________________________ [email protected] {} I created my layout at KillerKiwi.net
