The Electric Bike Wheel part 2
DADA meets Frank Zappa playing the bicycle - this instrument is meant to put one into a trance. Staring into the spokes, listening to the lady scream, one quickly goes into meditation.
On display at The Brooklyn Fire Proof.
“Nat King Cole”
Supposedly he’d suck down a pack of “Kool’s” before recording - to get his voice nice and charcoaled.
-They’re diggin’ holes, making plans, making money.
“Live Shows”
It is usual that live performances are repetitive - The same show that played in the last city is playing tonight - with a little different filler dialogue. What if a band only played rarities and never played them again? Thats the plan…

“Painting Time Lapse”
Drawing energy from the room and accessing memories. Long term, short term, or sensory memories can last a life time. There is a pool of unconscious information swelling inside of us - some of it was archived there by choice, some was branded there by others, and some of it is genetics - theres a lot going on up there.
*Sounds created by upright piano guts.
“The Recordings”
Catalogue of conversations, music, and experiments - detailing; Whats left of 15 Hawthorne, The Quincy Experiments, The Luis Armstrong Trio, Silent Jams, Laviatross, Stupid Meanings, Robert Milton, The Palsy Room, and more…
Not only are there cameras everywhere but majority of them are now implemented with audio recording and voice - hours and hours of monotony have been archived.
April 2010 - Library of Congress acquired the Twitter archive.
“Seal of the Spirit Upon the Flesh”
From the incomplete “Squaring of the Circle” album started in June of 2007.
From The Dictionary of Symbols - J.E.Cirlot
“…teeth marks are equivalent to the imprint or the seal of the spirit upon the flesh (since the teeth are the fortress-walls of the ‘inner’ spiritual man)” and “…is symbolic…of the sudden and dangerous action of the instincts upon the psyche.”
