the group play chord X

The affected madness of virtual crowds.

How to create the filters - be less rational about the formula. Thinking over paper is a cirlce-trap. See instead what works. There are catch-spots where it's easy to find dirt to sift thru. (Dirt = people, nicely.)

Again, the chorus effect has been confusing me sweetly for this time. I've decided to append this "false subculture" onto the experimentatal conditions, even if it makes it entertaining and poor to age.

Always with dream melodies I wake up thinking - it's so so beautiful, but it would be embarrassing because everyone already knows that one - it's so good - it's probably something from I don't know the eighties or something and then later I realize that it was an accapella song in nonsense syllables that code directly to my project - in no way a song from the eighties that everyone knows - and I've forgotten it. Frustrated indeed! It might just be the fact that the room is so cold that dissuades me from crawling out of bed. Lazy trash neck!

I'll be fine though - it's all a process of incubation and layering of frustration energy. It doesn't matter if it pays off. I have the image of first of all doing no harm, bunker image, violent images to be avoided by hiding. So it's good. Get vitamins, allow the bad ideas to starve.

Just sparkler-thoughts, no flow. But this is a fine way to be free, to not have a useful task. I wouldn't say "all quiet" but I wouldn't say anything else either.

"Don't work EVER!"

(Grafitti slogan from the streets of Paris during the May 1968 student revolution, as inspired by publications of the Situationist art movement.)

There are many of us artists, poets, musicians, actors, dancers, and creative beings who are perfectly happy if our work does absolutely nothing productive within the economic system that the government is trying to perpetuate. It's not that we are communists and anarchists, it's just that we are happy sitting under the cork tree. We don't care if our work is completely useless, we will continue to create it. If, in your infinite stupidity, you decide not to teach schoolchildren about creativity, imagination and beauty, they will still grow up to create beautiful things. Why? Because it is FUN. Because you can't unlearn us of our humanity.

And for this I have proof; the teaching of arts and humanities has been impovershed for a whole generation of young people, but if you take a stroll around facebook you will see that this is a generation that continually gazes at its reflection in art, music and literature. A generation that labors over every stylistic aspect of our multi-media interpersonal communications. A generation where everyone is in the greatest band ever, everyone is a photographer of their own rich sub-culture, everyone is crafting a cult of personality for themselves, and the highest achievement is to create some new and beautiful thing. That and not working.

So can the humanities save us? Rather you should be asking, what can we do to stop a new generation of humanitarians from crushing our cold, heartless system? Nothing, my mothers and fathers. Join us!
