Brick (sound excerpt from the film) - Shelley Roden, Foley artist
school bell drumming of ball footfall cross rhythms
echo play piano from score shows up as the run runs by the practice rooms
DONG! . . .
crows and bells
I was so taken by this bit of sound design, Foley art, and cues of music, that I went to the trouble of figuring out how to extract the sound track
cross-rhythms generated by the footfalls of two actors chasing through a school ground.
Soundform III Wind - S. Eric Scribner - [from Storm Sound Cycle, May 2011]
mallet work explosives
Finnegans Wake Part 3, Chapter 1 - James Joyce - Simon Ross [from Waywords and Meansigns]
guitar, kalimba
unmoored
music sound shifting as marker of section, otherwise inaudible disunderstandable
as though ordinary, phrases decrescendo and drop in pitch
Ironesia
The parts don't hear themselves together with the other parts, but only themselves alone, oblivious of their proximitousness.
Ondt and Gracehoper

Canzon - Thomas Grabbe - The King's Noyse [from Mascharada]
fitting fitness
appropriate attire
as the be all of all of it
Meanwhile
they develop further the science of polyphony and variation
and of ornaments to grace them
Serenade for Strings in C, op. 48 - Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Berliner Philharmoniker, Semyon Bychkov
display
bigger and more glorious empire than any
such lights
more than any others
such dresses
more splendid than any other empire's lights and dresses
the self-grandiosifizing Nobility that rose back against the wicked upstart's troops
those troops from their beloved French cousins now dead
and all they do with the knowledge is dance
a carefully prescribed portion only of grit life gets through
the romanticized serf life
counterpart to the antebellum South
such gentility
in the bloody claws of legitimacy
that same dress that same face
new rooms
write any story on top
a One Act Opera Without Words
Look! The light sky! Hark!
The Lark! Twitter bird!
our hopelessly generous attitudes about our past oppressors
we are nostalgic for our kings
barf
his derivations are in the winding up for all to see

| the past |
horns blaring to all corners
the center holds tight
I Can't Believe You're In Love With Me - Art Pepper [from The Way It Was]
alto and tenor share a fancy version of the tune
then a series of alternating quick bits with the drum
Don't You Just Know It - The Sonics [from Boom]
drunk sloppy, immovable
Crepuscle with Nellie (take 4) - Thelonious Monk, Al McKibbon, Art Blakey [from The London Sessions]
palpable heft
it moves but it is an effort
until it lifts of its own
and back
Did You Steal My Money - The Who [from Face Dances]
the too smooth, too distant, sound has a blanket over it. my money my entitlement
Banned Rehearsal 87 - Karen (Meyer) Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Neal Kosály-Meyer [June 1986]

| your blogger and soon to be spouse, 1986 |
I just turned the level all the way up
Book of Windows (select panes)
Ideas should be run with, unlike scissors.
preacher voice production, not quite sprechstimme, but like it, lifted
Trance Butchered Knight at revolution's height
hard core earlyish Banned Rehearsal
Funmaker set to Rend
must have been working on the songs I wrote for my nuptials soon to be
there's the text auf Deutsch
Anna and Aaron arrive
brought in on a past cassette
the ancient Italian fighting art for the family
we don't know what we're doing anymore
than you do
TV gun shots derived from cyclic noise flange or the boofing of balloons
soggy of the green great lake monster in my bathroom
hunted
gathered
Hard To Mention - The Young Fresh Fellows [from Electric Bird Digest]
whatever it is
drive right through it
don't look, (but it does)
24 Preludes 1 through 4 - Lockrem Johnson - Keith Eisenbrey [June 2006]
once an idea is in hand
he does not let go
nicely played, past me!
Let Me Sleep In Your Arms Tonight - Rachel Harrington [from Celilo Falls]
sung at a tempo that is only available in the big sky night of western stars
Banned Rehearsal 910 - Aibell, Jennifer Chung, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Steve Kennedy, Aaron Keyt, Neal Kosály-Meyer [May 2016]
metal, wood
substance that sounds :: things appear in sounds, in their sounds
if one is not talking one feels one is not existing
the piano tunes of Wallace drift across the bells and potlids
milk can and shakers various
magnificent metal squeal as mega music
now pitch hangs in space as a concretion of a physical object into time
a glow
even a special bit, as after the credit roll
Canzon XIV and Galliarde XIV - William Brade - The King's Noyse [from Mascharada]
style: a cooperatively created object of thought inhabited by its creators
intersection of what we collect in our closets and what we don from them
He's the Last Word - Ben Pollack [from Alan Lowe's That Devilin' Tune]
nice duet vocal, soprano and alto, neither quite the lead
also, an excellent tuba
I Can't Believe That You're In Love With Me (alternate take) - Art Pepper [from The Way It Was]
my how they jump off the beat
rebound
hot potato
Such A Lovin' Appetite - Wayne Storm [a Rescued Record]
a songwritten song
could set the tone for a Watersic satirio-comic film
I'm glad it goes away
September on Jessore Road - Allen Ginsberg - Allen Ginsberg, David Amram, Bob Dylan, Jon Sholle, Steven Taylor [from Holy Soul, Jelly Roll]
thousands
and millions
with bread from the state
malnutrition skulls
border trucks flooded
ambassador bunker alone in the rain
what shall we buy without food stamps on Mars?
how many daughters with nothing to eat? to go.

perplexed by Beckett
with dij(eridoo)
at the same time one is obliged to speak
oblivious of apriori self-defeat
music is alarmingly simple to imitate
to make it, actually, is also simple
but also easy to miss completely
the slightest pretense wilds the aim

Prelude by the "C" - Bruce Springsteen [from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band Live 1975-1985]
introducing his band with a filler sort of song full of effects with nothing in the behind of it
trapped by its need to have a particular energy throughout
like a workout in a gym
nothing is accomplished
Banned Rehearsal 278 - John E, Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Aaron Keyt [December 1991]

| J greets you |
microphonic misbalance is a problem || or is salutary || in that it is distracting
it removes transparency
forces a retreat from suspended disbelief
can't forget we are listening to what microphones hear in a space
we are amused that J turns a page
J is amused that we are amused
Kierkegaardically Dock
the geese were in a flock
and Keith read Donne
and Down John ran
Kierkegaardically Dock
Aaronsbundler in Ivesian wads of notes
devolving into Mahlerian kitsch drift off
becoming a careful study of bounce rhythms
drum head color clicks and sticks on tight head skin
whisper monsters
