Sonata in A Major, K. 24 - Domenica Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
climb the ladder
tumble down
oscillate down
rocking yaw
it need not be a big change to be a telling change

the beginning of chaos
goes by so quickly here
gives you the money blues
Shot With His Own Gun - Elvis Costello [from Trust]
going a bit artsy, presenting sophistication and song smithery
People Like Us - Talking Heads [from True Stories]
In this poetics the text only needs to hang together enough to support a plausible reading, or to seem like it might.
Another N----- In The Morgue - Geto Boys [from We Can't Be Stopped]
big talking might get you through
the thrill of action, the thrill of fear

end rhyme: its power
its hold

threats
demands

punk poeticizes anger
(provisional theories)

even laid bare
difficult to hold

tambourine or jangly bells and harmonica and the sound of the walls subduing into ambiance land jangly bells set aside bug guitar taken up or the monochord the one that didn't last yes my guess: karen on harmonica, me on jangly bells and monochord.

Jangly bells make big slashing arm arc marks across the page
elbow grease in the ear canals
braked it
softball ocarina
we readjust
long long breaths out strolling || so quickly Karen and I were on the same page, she entered the perimeter of improv wisdom almost, if not, immediately.
the joy of a closely tuned ukulele
one saying a thing and one saying a thing
one commenting upon a thing one saying a thing is saying
and one
saying: commenting and saying
cooperatively simultaneous
Minds don't read each other, but they can converse.
Chuckie - Geto Boys [from We Can't Be Stopped]
practicing their tough guy Cagney movie line skills
Just The Start - Neal Kosály-Meyer [August 2006]

as told in the American Folk Vernacular

Spangles - James Harley [from Hendrix Uncovered]
this must be done with loops
fruity loops or of that ilk
tightly packed layers
it's kind of fun
happy noise! O happy noise!

| at the Blowout, near Bickleton, WA |
Karen cooperates: !! I may have been elsewhere.
hear it as a prolonged penultimism
and so longingly prolonging that the penultimicism begins to be where we are here
oh how it penultimiscisizes until penultimiscicism is the eternal now
how much of now?
how much of almost? of next most near?

Sonata in A Major, K. 26 - Domenica Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
sizes of bits in disbalance angry bends minorward
how meter skews size or size meter
the perfect flaw
accelerating trill from the fundament with turn to end it
Mother Mother - Lake Washington Singers, Betty Eisenbrey, director [April 1966]
implicating a surrounding tale to be filled in later

what might it be?

It's All Right, Ma! [?] - Bob Dylan [Key Arena, October 13, 2006]
a very particular grouty accent of blue
which is to say: the rhyme of how a line sews through the matrix of rhythm
that was some sweet blues singin' Bob
Ask Your Question - Your Mother Should Know [Live at the Funhouse, July 18, 2011]
Fun Facts! :: 1. eventually this was the first song I would record for them. 2. they are rehearsing right now out in the garage. the snark! I am sorely tempted. do it, Neal!

using finely drawn lines to circumscribble the deep particulars of feeling
aestheticized sensibilities of sorrow that isn't sorry
(Emma Danner kills on backing vocal.)
Sonata in B minor, K. 27 - Domenica Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
deflection
surface
smooth
start the second with
play it back
statement startling
phraseology forever
pulling back into its back story
lessons
serious lessons
composer types, listen up

serious fancy singing there Earl
zero sum game
proverbs from maternalism
maverbs

Assembly Rechoired 4 - Karen (Meyer) Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey [July 1986]
We are just back from Toy Story 4!

| pitch in a rock pile |
The rock's voice hovers between ceramic and metallic
yelling and whooping
talking in rocks tick talk
more an inflection like vowel production than pitch
taking measure of the sound of the rocks in terms of whether or of how present the pitch of that sound is within the sound of the resonance of the body of the rock
[N.B. The Blowout is a volcanic feature, something like a burst gas bubble.]
Mind Playing Tricks On Me - Geto Boys [from We Can't Be Stopped]
anxiety
paranoia
fear
regret
a set of stories
Gradus 103 - Neal Kosály-Meyer [August 2006]
only the toe tips ever always touch
weightless on ripples
send other ripples to touch the ripples
even the toe tips of ripples
the audible world is dark and very like plunking rocks for tunes
The Memory of All That - Benjamin Boretz - Megan Berti, mezzo-soprano; Zuzanna Szewczyk Kwon, piano [on Milton Babbitt: A Composers' Memorial]
supercharged as to the interval in the mind between the experience of pitch
and the experience of pitch class. They are clearly not the same thing at all, barely containable in the same mind's experience.
Tree Stone Session - S. Eric Scribner - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey Bruce Greeley, Aaron Keyt, S. Eric Scribner [August 2016]

all the sounds we brought with us
nice little drum!
and a ghostish sound like an ice cream truck jingle
Entering the world with a unique intent turns it quite suddenly strange.
we upload it to the void while discussing the fuzzy rug of the device
indeterminate pitch is my favorite kind
we arrange ourselves for the piece in which we did little more than shake the leafy tree branches
no telling if any of it would be audible
and tapping rocks
as next to nothing going on as can be got
we play the breezes in the trees

Gradus 350 - Neal Kosály-Meyer
Postscripts
else which bears to his mind an official
way to breakfast in the sanatorium
character inmate being owner of
it's a false assumption, she says
an impulse of the tree
