Sonata in E Major, K. 46 - Domenico Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
It introduces material profligately, but only gradually begins to work it, or to draw it together, except in as blockishly obvious way as could be. It is about the varieties of betweennesses and mediations. He is the sequitur whisperer.
so why not follow up on it?
overlain block prints upon each other
a colored box with idea tokens in it
or why did I write this?
Father of the Bride - Harvey Schmidt - Robert Preston [from I Do! I Do!]

Donnerstag aus Licht, Act 3 -
crucially serial
then ordering must matter
crucially
to it
in order for it to be it
How might that sense of ordering be experienced within our experience of this episode
or atmosphering our experience thereof
How is that different from just the sense that sequence
as a process
is distinct
things follow former things
each before another thing
another soon to be former thing
::|| American Academic:
design the ordering so as to produce effects among otherly experienced matrices
that is
order things in order
to produce an effect ||::
More Ives in Stockhausen's approach than I had considered before
things represent other things in order to mean
one could order things
to represent other meanings
in order

the smaller it gets the more I like it

spoken last word of repeated line

evocation or representation

overexplained

crass
as on a slab
Resistance Side A - Chris Cochrane and Doug Henderson [March 1986]
Two composers/improvisors/music doers from (from when I knew them) the Bard scene in the early 80s laying out some sound in an acoustic space familiar to me from earlier of my days.
They have or name songs, presumably repeatable in some sense
words and everything, I had forgotten
songs with names like Goat and Stove
noisy electric guitar, an activity sometimes called playing out guitar
and short bits of twisted sung tunes reminiscent of Eno in Tiger Mountain by Strategy days, but less placid
certainly proggy
prog out guitar and saxophone and radio talk and junkyard drums (always a good idea - genuine cans to bang on)
Intermission
entertainment provided by Banned Rehearsal
we play the board upon which the PZMs were taped as they taped the proceedings
whispered: Bickleton Burger
a gift to Resistance from Banned Rehearsal
Totem Dance - Robert Tree Cody and Will Clipman [from Heart of the Wind]
Is this evidence of the cultural hegemony of Western Pop? Doing it up like Bollywood?
I could get into the drumming, which is highly competent
Ask Your Question (mix of 110903) - Your Mother Should Know [August/September 2011]
There are five tracks of this song in the folder, but only four entries in my index. The titles are not much help. Your Mother Should Know is Neal Kosály-Meyer and his sister, my spouse, Karen Eisenbrey. I was acting as recording engineer, making it up and learning as I went along.
Put the Guns Away - No Rey [from Contradictions]
breaks between lines (he stops singing) (they stop playing)
and no breaks between lines
Sonata in B-flat Major, K. 47 - Domenico Scarlatti - Pieter-Jan Belder
stuffed with extra notes in quick runs
articulation with surprising joints
too many notes to fit
is an image that points
to the size of the what
that it
is too many
to fit within
Carmina Burana - Carl Orff - Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra & Chorus, Leonard Slatkin, Sylvia McNair, John Aler, Hakan Hagegard
hope
future as progress
discovery of any outside this circular being
perhaps it's the hereweareagain and herewegoagain that has made it a New Year's Eve staple
celebration of the cycle
book of woodprints haphazard
in order to not matter much as long as the pages don't fall out or get ripped or smudged
at worst
a museum display of medieval spirit life
Bucket T - The Who [from A Quick One]
They're having fun, but it's amusing for about three quarters as long as it lasts
icky fantasy of presumed power over another
showing its insecurity
thin and blind
even calls in reinforcements from the distaff to echo his excuses back at him
Grant Us Sleep - Keith Eisenbrey - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey
One of the house prayers I wrote for Karen as a wedding present, 33 years ago. We made this recording a few weeks ago just before our request was granted.

Banned Rehearsal 710 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Neal Kosály-Meyer
not moving much
from our original
locations
trying
(from which initial locations we are not moving much)
to get a bead
on how our initial locations
align
until someone breaks loose
a hinge poised to turn
turning not to sink in more comfy
but to unsettle incrementally
a solemn plodding in the dark ceremony
(You've Got Me Undone) - Shelby Earl [from Burn The Boats]
verse construction:
lines repeat without or with amended words
keeping each verse wrapped back toward itself
Q&A at the Common Good Cafe - Karen Eisenbrey [August 2016]
At the end of the book launch for Karen's novel "The Gospel According to St. Rage" for its original publication in 2016, Karen answered questions taken from the audience.

Banned Rehearsal 991 - Karen Eisenbrey, Keith Eisenbrey, Steve Kennedy, Neal Kosály-Meyer
Our amusement at the outset was with the notion of dialing 991 in cases of normalcy. I got stuck re-composing the C Major triad. Karen discovered the joys of milk can, cymbal, and ping pong ball.

Jesu, meine Freude - Keith Eisenbrey
These are two more of my set of 12 chorales, composed in 2017, as the 12th part of Études d'exécution imminent.
Postscripts
life john words are spirit and life and life
ears hear and but seek other tastes savory
and loving language god speaks within them
a small road in the nether regions
an edge more or less complicated
by the motions of the whole distance between
