As I’m sure regular listeners are aware, I use a number of teaching aphorisms or sutras that work in a rhetorical way to stop thought and our normal, habitual way of thinking about ourselves and the world dead in its tracks.

They are a bit confusing at first, but only for the first few years.

In music I say things like, “Pitch doesn’t exist,” with the implication that what DOES exist is a living movement of energy, of sound, which is beyond description.

I also say, “There is no conflict in nature.” Here, the underlying meaning is that life is a movement of relationship, and that thought unaware of itself has the unique distinction of generating endless war with itself and everything around it. It is the defining feature of our species, I think. The idea is that, through awareness, this destructive nature of thought is suspended. Perhaps even totally dissipated. This is when real relationship, real dialogue, real music or poetry begins.

In this spirit, this new DRSGON CURVE ENSEMBLE piece—always based on some sort of fractal mathematics (here the CANTOR SET); always the same 12 instruments: 2 grandpianos, 2 piccolos, 2 horns, 2 trumpets, 2 trombones, and 2 tubas—showcases one of my more hopelessly difficult sayings, about the difference between CONTROL and LIMIT. But the difference becomes self-evident once we drop legacy and are welling to question everything, especially organized religion (ie., any religion that has a name, including not just Christianity, but also Buddhism.)

To get yourself started on this fascinating journey, just try thinking back when you were a child, and the difference of discipline being forced upon you—i.e.,control— and the movement of the energy we call insight or play which comes always from within. The violence of control arises evidently from FALSE DUALITY, the skier that forces the mere IDEA of a beautiful turn (like me) so there is always a CONTROLLER—God—and the CONTROLLED—us poor sinners who are about to fall. Or the pianist that plays through his or her eyes, and not via an inner vision of the sound. Or merely projecting the idea of PEACE (as all religions do), instead of the vastly more difficult timeless daily practice of NONVIOLENCE.

A remix by lestaunord and Project Number One

We are very excited that writer / poet lestaunord from Normandy created a remix of our intro video for Project Number One. Brian took the opportunity to do a quick edit to create a video using her sound poem and her lyrics - loving the direction this project is going! lestaunord says “It’s like an artistic dialogue between the three of us.”

Please note that her audio version will be presented on Radio Piednu http://www.piednu.fr/radio/ at 8pm Tuesday January 10th in France (1pm CST). In a following post listen to lestaunord’s sound poem Voir si on arrive quelque part.

Installed in London’s Max Wigram Gallery in 2010, ‘Studio Schwitters’ is Czech-born artist Pavel Büchler’s homage to the Dada artist’s masterwork ‘The Ursonate’, originally preformed in 1932 and considered one of the most influential sound poems of the 21st century. Born in 1882, Kurt Schwitters worked in several genres including Surrealism, Constructivism, and what would become known as installation art, but in the Dada he found artistic freedom in the movement’s rejection of meaning. Büchler, who works at “making nothing happen” by manipulating obsolete technologies and other media, fed the entire original text of 'The Ursonate’ through a German text-to-speech programme and broadcast the strange, unintelligible result from seventy-five wall-mounted speakers playing in unison, radically changing the context but reveling in the same intent: www.maxwigram.com

...Part of Kurt Schitters' surrealist poem "Ursonate".

Available from: http://www.costis.org/x/schwitters/ursonate.htm

The approximate reading time of the complete version of "Ursonate" is about forty-one minutes. The poem was completed 1932. It shows the poet's difficulties with the written version of the sound poem. A complete audio version of the poem can be found here.
