accidental distortion
this came 25 august 2010, at the roosavelt hotel, where i stayed immobilized. curiously i had no need for the smog outside but stayed close to the messages thom had conveyed via film. the song the present tense especially. thom yorke on the internet speaks of the cop 15 debacle and sings of the present tense. i was imprisoned by the sorrow of the letter conveyed to me by vikramadithya singh of peter gelles suicide. they were both from the american film institute.
this preceded and influence the bands neptune 27 august 2010 and halley's comet 20 september 2010 and mars piano 21 september 2010, but follows pluto.
the following songs expound upon the same idea---a neo-poulenc chant plainsong style.

copland, hindemith, poulenc, glass, nyman
meeting thom friday around 1 am 17 september 2010 was fantastic. i had been preparing myself psychically, enslaved to his song, the present tense. he was in los angeles, perhaps recording this very song.

for thom yorke. it began as singing into a bambuser 25th august in french and then after meeting thom yorke 17 september, the songs came more. it was a very challenging experience to meet him. i told him i like the present tense. he said now you are really scaring me. these songs are a response. they have influence from gertrude stein's mother of us all, glass, copland, poulenc, joan baez, and lots of michael nyman, hindemith.

i discovered the fellow called cyborg opera after the ide began obsessing me. there is sort of a cyborg zeitgeist brewing. and opera is a natural component of our old culture. so it is only natural that we internettted wish to sing sometimes. none of the ideas are really my own. i am am streaming them out of the cultural propaganda i am being fed, which is a very good argument against copyright if you ask me, but i don't believe in rights.
