https://hexpressionist.bandcamp.com HEXPRESSIONIST is my latest project. The music I release under this moniker is inspired by micromontage techniques. It is almost very much inspired by the abstract expressionist movement. These recordings were made quickly with little thought. This is the music of raw expression. I spent months collecting and processing samples then I performed theContinue reading “Improvised Electronic Music”

Harmonium and Guitar
I’ve been experimenting with a new recording technique. Basically I’m trying to make the most of my gear. I’m sure I could eliminate giant chunks of time by using a better process, but this seems to be working at the moment. I mic my harmonium using my brother’s bass drum mic. The mic is pluggedContinue reading “Harmonium and Guitar”
postfailure
The time between lines is intentional. Death by tornado or by the bullet of a racist. Equally tragic. Both violent conditions of the earth. I see no difference between man and moon. Properties of particles poeticized. I have yet to meet a moment uncoated in absurdity. Time-specific line. Words beyond myself. Perhaps denial of theContinue reading “postfailure”
need
Perhaps I wouldn’t write if my mouth lubricated itself during times I need it the most. Like when I stopped her at the door. Onlookers impatiently observing the distance between us and the door. Me trying to fit words into the most loaded minute. The minute between her and the door. The struggle of fittingContinue reading “need”

It’s that same strange thing that talks to you when you take over an eighth ofContinue reading “The Chance There Is No Chance”

Exploded poetry
Aside from social media marketing and blog promotion, scheduling apps such as Buffer can be used to write “exploded poems” An exploded poem incoorporates time in a new way. It can be thought of as a new form of concrete poetry. Instead of using physical space to enhance meaning, one can use temporal space. GapsContinue reading “Exploded poetry”
Objectivism
I’m no longer concerned with illusions of good and bad or the shackles of right and wrong. Instead I’ll ask myself: Is it probable? If so, I’ll harness a process to dilute probability. These processes may include procedural or generative techniques. Essentially I’ll do what ever it takes to summon ghosts. I can’t rely solelyContinue reading “Objectivism “
residue
Concretist in duck’s shoes A web of feet. Not webbed feet. Curled toes, talons, triumphs Curled around the memory It was often cold where Coldness was banned By the residue of a tribe Residual harm from a thought Residual as a skunk
Behavioral
things must behave in order for the toaster to toast. but I propose a toast to disorder in order to disturb a process one must make the claim that he/she is trying to harness chance for toast behavior is for the toaster and I am not toast + nontoast for how loaded is the toaster likeContinue reading “Behavioral”
