Thoughts on Diamana Galás's 1986 album Saint of the Pit

I first heard Galás's work in a museum (a video installation of Plague Mass); I was very young and barely beginning to discover myself, but even then, I felt the tantalizing pull of things that terrified and revolted me, could tell that those things were calling for me the way a mother calls a wayward child home. Only much later would I understand that Galás's art on the subject of the AIDS crisis was part of my cultural history, a time that I existed in the wake of and was indelibly shaped by, a connection that was absent in the straight people I knew. The fear Galás's work engendered in me as a whelp forestalled my curiosity for a long time, but as I navigated those feelings of being beckoned and found pathways towards that call, I returned to her work, now better equipped to understand it intellectually and to embody terror and revulsion as power sources. Like the plague, they are what I come from; they are how the hegemony sees me, and to accept them is to accept myself. There is the fear of the known, which is the fear of subjugation, and there is the fear of the unknown, which is endless potential—to be changed, broken, transfigured, scraped raw, annihilated, reborn. Saint of the Pit, to me, is a gateway into that latter fear, that vital, vitriolic XIII Death drive.

I keep running into Antonin Artaud’s legacy lately (been listening to a podcast about 70's occult gay porn and thinking about the new French extremity), and I’m long overdue for a reread of The Theatre and Its Double. In a popular and political culture that begs us to reduce ourselves to a bundle of cravings to be convenienced, and demands that we expend as much of our attention as diffusely as possible, the notion of art that shocks me into a state of intense embodiment, a visceral reaction, feels very appealing, feels like an apparatus useful to the development of counterculture and deeper engagement with my surroundings. All of us are born into and ensnared by a culture built by hegemony, and our particular hegemony has very specific standards for what “good art” is and how it’s made. Like Hayter after her (and I can’t overstate how impactful Lingua Ignota has been to me; I saw her live in New York in one of that project’s last performances and it moved me so deeply), Galás is a master of her instrument, has honed the technique of this so-called “good art,” and uses it to create something monstrous, something keening and abrasive and palpable that grabs your attention by the throat and squeezes. Saint of the Pit is affirming of life in the way that a threat display is affirming of life. See how sharp these claws and teeth are! Fuck around and find out!

The way this album is mixed, the way her voice encompasses the universe and spits directly into your face at the same time, goes beyond “captivating” and becomes “totalizing” in a way that holds a shattered mirror up to power. The initial aim of the project of unlearning bigotry is an opening of one’s eyes to what is right in front of us but has gone unnoticed. It is realizing that our culture is built on a foundation of willful disregard for life, that though it may be all we have context for, the society we live in is a gibbet, a cage built to contain until death. Art that immerses me the way Saint of the Pit does feels like a powerful tool for that work: in its scope and its inexorability, the way it pins you in place and overwhelms you, it pries your eyes open or makes new ones. It sensitizes you to the notion that another world is possible, a world where a drive towards something generative and patient can inform everything, can encompass everything. From that notion, I derive the will to keep going, to spurn compromise, to carve out, by any means necessary, a life for myself and my beloved freaks and rejects and visionaries.

Chapter 2

I come back from the grocery store with plenty of my staple favorites and a few treats to keep me motivated throughout the evening. I put the groceries away haphazardly then turn my attention to the business of getting as much of the house in order as possible. I was able to get the electricity, water, and gas set up before my arrival, but unfortunately I couldn’t get the internet turn on in time. I have that scheduled for tomorrow, thank god, because I am a modern woman who needs her internet access, dammit! I refuse to be disconnected. Fortunately, my cell phone reception is excellent and my data plan is unlimited, so I pick out a podcast and stream it on my phone’s speaker while I get to work. I’m practically a pioneer woman out here getting back to nature. 

I don’t have too much to do this evening considering the bulk of my belongings aren’t here yet, but I still have those few boxes of essentials I need to unpack. Plus, I had my brand new mattress and bed frame delivered and ready to build. The delivery people were even kind enough to put the boxes in the backyard to reduce the chances of them being porch pirated. That part of the house is closed in, but the short picket fence itself is more about form than function. It’s easy enough for anyone to reach over it and unlock the gate that separates front and back. And at the back of the property, you can see clear over it to a small creek that runs perpendicular to my block, so anyone who may be walking back there could hypothetically look right into my yard. The exposure doesn’t bother me, per se, but I do wonder if such a backyard setup is ideal or if I’ll need to invest in something more secure in the future. I guess even if you don’t buy a fixer upper, home ownership is a promise of continuous renovation projects. It’s a good thing I have plenty of time on my hands in the months ahead. If only those hands were also equipped with the DIY skills I’ll need to tackle the agenda. I'm not a particularly handy gal, but I guess no one is until they try. And I might as well start with the relatively simple job of putting my bed together.

Whatever silly online bed-in-a-box company I used even had a deal where I could get a new frame, mattress, pillows, and bedding for a bundled price, so there are multiple boxes back there. I drag them inside and settle them one by one in the master bedroom before using the Swiss army knife my dad gave me for my 13th birthday to open them. Assembling the bed isn’t difficult– even with my lack of handywoman acumen– but it does take a while to actually complete. By the time I’m done, the room is a maze of boxes stuffed with plastic wrap and random cardboard pieces used to package the whole kit-and-kaboodle. It’s absolutely a mess, but I have a bed. No matter how much or how little I do for the rest of the day, I’ll be able to tuck in at the end of it for a good night’s sleep. I can’t help but feel a sense of accomplishment, even though I’m basically doing the bare minimum. 

Wanting some fresh air after my radical act of self-sufficiency, I drag the boxes back out into the yard and start breaking them down and bagging the rest to throw in the trash. Once I’m done, I figure I’ll stay outside to poke around the property a bit and give my brain a break in hopes it will recuperate enough for me to tackle another task. One of the things that really drew me to this home in particular was the aforementioned little creek that runs behind this block of homes. It’s not much– the depth won’t even clear my knees– but it’s still a gorgeous little slice of nature. I enjoy the gentle sounds of the running water and dip my toes in it. The water is cool and clear, but clouded with the silt of the creek bottom. A school of tiny fish with swatches of red-orange along their throats rush past my toes and I take it as a good sign. Immediately spotting wildlife surely means the creek is healthy, though I don’t claim to be an expert in the matter. 

I notice the sunlight waning and head back inside. While there is still a good deal of unpacking I need to do, I’m also pretty hungry. It is time to make good with the groceries I packed up earlier. I pour myself a glass of wine and turn on the oven to preheat. Then I grab the multi-colored heirloom tomatoes, focaccia, fresh mozzarella, and pre-made pesto I picked up at the store and start preparing dinner. In my opinion, there isn’t a food combination out there that can top carb + tomato + cheese + green. No matter how you slice it, no matter how you spice it: it always hits. Grilled cheese with arugula and tomato soup? Sublime. Saag paneer with rice and tomato chutney? Mouthwatering. Cheesy spinach enchiladas with red sauce and pico de gallo? Que ricos. The spices may vary and the composition may shift, but with those four pillars as a foundation, you set yourself up for success.

It wouldn’t surprise a single person that knows me to find out the first real thing I do in my new home is cook a meal. Next to spending an entire day binging reality dating shows, cooking is what feels most natural to me. Taking a bunch of individual ingredients and transforming them into a completely new, separate product is about as close to real magic as I’ll ever get in this world. And there’s something meditative about the process. When I’m cooking, my mind isn’t on the ex boyfriend who left me or the uncertainty of my future in a new place where I don’t know a single person. All my attention is focused on slicing these tomatoes at a uniform width so they cook through evenly on top of the focaccia halves I’ve prepared with extra virgin olive oil and diced garlic. I arrange the tomato slices on the bread, alternating between colors to create a stunning visual. I pop the topped focaccia halves in the oven for the ensemble to bake through for about 10 minutes before taking them out and laying circles of mozzarella on top of the composition. I switch the oven to broil and back inside go my little toasts. I allow the broiler to melt the mozzarella and then some until I see a spattering of tiny burnt sienna leopard spots form on the surface before I remove them and drizzle with the bright and herbaceous pesto. Normally, I’d like to make my own sauces, but given my circumstances and limited kitchen accoutrement, I make do. I finish it all with a bit of fresh cracked pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan before I head outside to enjoy the first meal in my new home.

The old owners left a slightly rusted wrought iron patio set in the backyard and the night is warm and quiet, so it’s as good a place as any for me to eat. The chairs aren’t very comfortable and the table is a bit wobbly, but it works. I make a mental note to look up DIY wrought iron restoration projects for inspiration. I’ll have plenty of time for projects like that while I’m getting my footing in Loveland. Oh god, I’m going to become one of those girls whose life revolves around her “projects.” Maybe I’ll make an Instagram account where I document all my before and after photos. My dad has been getting on to me about establishing a secondary income stream now that I’m a homeowner. 

But for now, I just want to enjoy my dinner and the satisfaction of finally being in my new place. My little caprese-focaccia pizza thing came out beautifully, but I think next time instead of pesto, It'd be better topped with fresh arugula and a drizzling of balsamic reduction to cut the richness of the cheese. I’m taking a sip of wine when a quick spark catches my eye. Then another– then another… Fireflies! Having a house that backs up to a creek means I’m located smack dab in the middle of their breeding grounds. I can’t help but smile as more and more luminescent flashes dance around the yard. It’s beautiful. I can’t even remember the last time I saw fireflies in the city. Sometimes you can spot them in the parks, but I read at some point that their numbers are rapidly declining due to habitat loss. But out here, there’s plenty of them bouncing around my yard and creating a veritable light show just for me. Maybe cooking isn’t the only magic left in the world. Maybe there’s more.

I take a sip of wine and breathe. I feel the tension ease from my body and think for the first time in many years, I am exactly where I am supposed to be. 

But that comfort is short-lived. I hear a rustling in that dark that indicates I am not alone. I hear the splash of water– whatever it is, it’s somewhere down by the creek. It could be a raccoon, but my gut is telling me it must be something bigger to make that noise. Are there bears in Ohio? Or mountain lions? Surely if there are, they wouldn’t be traipsing around the suburbs, right? And would a wild animal be any more or less dangerous than the alternative– a stranger? 

“Hello?” I ask the darkness. “Is somebody out there?” 

I can feel my pulse quicken all the way up in my ears. Whatever– or whoever– is out there has triggered my somatic system into high alert. All the tension that had previously melted from my body is slowly building back up. My gut is telling me to go inside, but I can’t move. I argue with my intuition internally– 

Surely you’re just being paranoid! Am I paranoid or is this the beginning of a new true crime docu-series where the Big City Lady gets hacked to death in Ohio because she doesn’t take the dangers of the midwest seriously.  Okay, well that is a bit macabre, don’t you think?  Macabre or realistic– remember that show about Jeffrey Dahmer? He killed people in Ohio! Jeffrey Dahmer only killed men.  Girl. Don’t make excuses for Jeffrey Dahmer. I may be the voice inside your head, but even I know that’s crazy. You… may have a point there. 

I hear another rustle and the splash of moving water again and the voice inside my head turns into a screaming alarm. Adrenaline shoots through my body and I gather the remnants of my meal and book it back inside, locking the back patio door behind me. I may just be a paranoid idiot freaking out over the harmless presence of the native fauna of the Great State of Ohio, but I don’t really care at the moment. As a woman in my 30s, I know the value of being safe rather than sorry. Hell, a woman of any age should understand it. You feel that lurch in your stomach, you get the fuck out of there. No time for questions, no doubts– you simply have to get your ass up and away before you have the time to really find out.

So instead of beating myself up wondering if I should give the Mystery Lurker a chance to prove they’re harmless, I clean up my dishes, pour another glass of wine, and double check that all my doors and windows are secure. Then after I wash my face, brush my teeth, and change into my nightgown, I tuck into my brand new bed, pull out my phone, and browse dog listings from the local animal shelter for a bit to distract myself from whatever spooked me out there. Thankfully, the bed is very comfortable and the events of the day were sufficiently taxing, so when I feel my eyes grow heavy, I log off and plug my phone in to recharge through the night. I close my eyes and fall asleep in no time at all, comforted by the protection of my new home. 

At least, for now.

The Brain Trap: 5 Odd Psychology Hacks That Actually Work

Bypass your brain's sneaky sabotage with these smart rewires

Our brains are bizarre. Smart, yes—but also experts at sabotage. They make us believe we're exhausted when we're merely bored. They instruct us to quit when we're on the verge of triumph. They nag at us with doomsday fears when we're finally being bold.

What if you could outsmart the trickster?

These aren't affirmations or toxic positivity. These are strange little life hacks—supported by psychology—that enable you to rewire the default mode your brain has. And they work.

Name Your Inner Critic Do you ever catch your brain running trash talk about you like it's its job?

"You always mess up." "This is going to be embarrassing." "You're not cut out for this."

Rather than fighting those thoughts, attempt naming the voice. Literally. Name it Negative Nancy, Doubtful Dan, or The Jerk Upstairs. Why? Naming it creates psychological distance. You're not the thought—you're the observer. And when you do that, you break its hold.

Redefine Discomfort as a Signal, Not a Stop Sign Your brain dislikes discomfort. It believes discomfort = danger, and danger = stop everything.

But unease is usually just an indicator that you're growing. Growing. Expanding beyond the familiar.

The next time you get nervous prior to a speech or uncertain prior to making a choice, call it: This is my signal to grow. It's not fear—it's fuel. This small flip rewires your connection to the feeling.

Temptation Bundling: Match the Boring With the Brilliant Something difficult or dull to do? Match it with something enjoyable.

This is called temptation bundling, and it’s wildly effective. For example:

Only listen to your favorite podcast while cleaning.

Only watch Netflix while on the treadmill.

Only drink that expensive coffee when doing admin work.

Your brain starts linking the "ugh" with the "yay." Suddenly, the hard stuff gets done—without brute force.

Visualize the Start, Not the Finish Visualization is the cool advice, but this is where everybody goes wrong: they visualize the end.

Need to feel less resistance? Visualize the beginning.

Not being wealthy—just opening the laptop and typing away. Not running a marathon—just getting your shoes on. Not writing a novel—just creating an outline of the first paragraph.

Visualizing the start eliminates the psychological friction that so often prevents us from even beginning.

Apply "The Opposite Rule" to Negative Thoughts When your brain begins throwing shade—"You're going to fail" or "This is pointless"—ask yourself this:

The Backbone of Studio Sound - Why Audio Interfaces Deserve Your Attention

In today’s dynamic world of digital music production, audio interfaces have become central to every serious studio setup. As technology continues to evolve, the quality and flexibility of audio equipment are setting new benchmarks, making it essential for producers to choose the right gear and protect it wisely. From home studios to professional recording environments, understanding how audio interfaces function and why they matter is critical to producing music that stands out.

Let’s dive into why these devices are not just accessories but vital components of the modern musician’s toolkit.

What is an Audio Interface and Why is it Important?

At its core, an audio interface acts as the bridge between your analog instruments, like microphones and guitars, and your computer’s digital audio workstation (DAW). It converts analog signals into digital data, enabling high-quality sound capture. This conversion process is vital because it preserves the detail and clarity of your recordings, which is especially important for genres like jazz, classical, or acoustic, where nuances make a difference.

More than just a converter, a good audio interface comes with key features like microphone preamps, phantom power, headphone outputs, MIDI inputs, and balanced outputs. These enable you to record multiple tracks simultaneously with minimal latency and maximum control.

Choosing the Right Audio Interface for Your Needs

With so many models available, choosing an audio interface may seem overwhelming. However, selecting the right one depends on a few critical considerations:

Input and Output Options: Think about how many microphones or instruments you plan to record at once. Two inputs may suffice for solo artists, while bands may require multi-channel interfaces.

Connection Type: USB is standard and widely compatible, but Thunderbolt and USB-C offer faster data transfer and lower latency for high-end setups.

Build Quality and Portability: If you’re a producer who travels or works in different locations, a sturdy yet compact device is ideal.

Preamplifier Quality: This affects how clean and rich your recorded sound is. Budget models might skimp on preamp quality, impacting the result.

Latest Trends in Audio Equipment

Over the past few years, the market for audio gear has seen significant growth, driven largely by home-based music production and podcasting. Many interfaces now come with built-in digital signal processing (DSP), allowing real-time effects and mixing without overloading your computer.

Additionally, hybrid models that support both studio and mobile setups are gaining traction. These allow creators to seamlessly switch between studio-grade recording and on-the-go sessions without sacrificing audio quality.

Another notable trend is the growing interest in user-friendly software integration. Modern interfaces often come bundled with DAWs, plug-ins, and virtual instruments, helping newcomers build their production environment straight out of the box.

Why It’s Important to Protect Your Audio Gear

For professionals and hobbyists alike, audio equipment represents a significant investment. Whether you’re working from a home studio or taking your setup to live gigs, the risk of accidental damage, technical faults, or theft is always present. That’s why it’s wise to consider audio equipment insurance, which provides peace of mind and financial protection.

Rather than waiting until something goes wrong, many music professionals opt for coverage tailored specifically to their needs. Such insurance ensures minimal disruption to your creative process and helps cover repairs or replacement costs promptly, especially when deadlines or performances are on the line.

You’ll find that audio equipment insurance is not just for touring musicians; even small studios benefit from securing their valuable gear.

Final Thoughts

In the age of digital content creation, having the right audio interface is more than a technical decision—it’s a creative one. Selecting a device matching your workflow and goals allows you to set yourself up for better sound, smoother sessions, and a more enjoyable recording experience.

As the audio equipment landscape evolves, so too does the need to invest wisely and protect that investment. Take time to research your options, learn from reliable guides, and ensure your gear remains safe and functional, because in the world of sound, quality is everything.

Dynamic or Condenser Microphone? Which one will be better for you?

If you Know the distinctions between dynamic and condenser microphones, it will help you choose the best option for your needs. There is always a microphone type that will work for you, whether you want a larger frequency response, more realistic sound, or durability and background noise rejection.

How Dynamic Microphones Work

A dynamic microphone, also known as a moving coil microphone, consists of a diaphragm, a coil, and a magnet. The coil is wrapped around the magnet, and the diaphragm and coil are secured together.

How a Condenser Microphone Work

Real-World Differences

Dynamic Microphones

These microphones have a simple construction, which makes them rugged and capable of handling loud sound signals well. They also exhibit good background noise rejection. However, they have relatively low sensitivity and may lack a full frequency response, imparting a distinct broadcast sound.

Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones have a more natural sound, a wider frequency response, and a higher sensitivity or output level, but because of their intricate design, they can be more delicate. They can, however, be overdriven to produce extraordinarily loud noises, and the internal electronics produce some noise.

Examples Dynamic Microphone

The Shure SM7B is known for needing a lot of preamp gain to make up for its very low sensitivity. We have tested all the Dynamic Mics and came up with The Best Dynamic Microphones. Check them out!!

Examples Condenser Microphone

Audio-Technica AT2020:

Good entry-level condenser mic that is known for the affordability and high-quality sound. Widely used in home studios and for podcasting.

Rode NT1-A:

The Rode NT1-A will have higher sensitivity, will require less gain. It is Known for its low self-noise, this mic is ideal for vocals and acoustic instruments. It is often praised for its clarity and warmth. To know more Read this Blog.

Shure SM7B:

Although this is a dynamic mic, it is often compared to condensers because of the detailed and flat frequency response, which makes it a favorite for professional podcasters and broadcasters. To know more Read this Blog.

Blue Yeti X:

A USB condenser mic that’s highly popular among content creators, including podcasters and streamers, due to its ease of use and multiple polar patterns. To know more Read this Blog.

Choosing the Right Microphone

When Dynamic Microphone?

Ideal for live situations due to their durability, ability to handle loud noises, and good background noise rejection. They are also suitable for achieving a standard broadcast sound.

When Condenser Microphone?

Suited for controlled environments like studios, where there is audio treatment and control over the sound going into the microphone. They provide a more natural sound and are less concerned with background noise.

Conclusion

For podcasters or streamers, the choice of microphone involves considerations like proximity effect, durability, and form factor.

If the main goal is to address noise in your signal, a condenser microphone with low self-noise and high sensitivity, set in a cardioid polar pattern, is the best option. However, always prioritize the sound quality. Listen to the microphones and choose based on the sound they produce.
