ACCIDENTAL MEETINGS AMBIENT / EXPERIMENTAL

GROWING NATURALLY LIKE A BEAUTIFUL MONTAGE FROM HIS FIELD RECORDINGS (A RICH LIBRARY OF PERSONAL PSYCHOACOUSTIC DETAILS) AND HIS 150 SESSION ON NTS, ML'S LIFE ALWAYS BREAKS YOUR HEART IS MIXTAPE-CONCRÈTE:

GAMELAN OF THE SOUL, BIO-CURRY-WURST IN KREUZBERG, ZITHER OVERLAYS THE BOOMS OF THE SQUATTER’S HOMEGRADE GRENADES…

MARK LECKEY VS. ALVIN CURRAN, GUSTAV FLAUBERT VS CABARET VOLTAIRE, FREE ASSOCIATION FLASHBACKS WITH THE TIMESTAMPS MIXED UP, WITH ADDED BASS GUITAR, OP-1, ABLETON, DISTINGUISHING THE ‘REAL’ INSTRUMENTS BECOMES UNIMPORTANT….THEY’RE ABSORBED BY MEMORY FOAM….

NO COUNTRY, NO FLAG – OUTERNATIONAL WITHOUT A CAUSE!

THERE IS NO PURPOSE, THERE IS ONLY REVERIE.

"A USELESS RUIN, THINGS ARE FALLING APART, EVEN IN OUR DEEPEST, WE LONG FOR HARMONY. A HYPOTHETICAL PATH, FOR OBSCURE REASONS, FADES INTO TRANSPARENCY. THE MEDIOCRITY OF WESTERN CULTURE, SICKEN BY P.R., LIFE OFFERS A CHANCE, A PLACE FOR ENTHUSIASM. THE TEXTURE OF THE WORLD, THEM CAN READ IT IN YOUR EYES. IN THE HEART OF SCHIZO-CULTURE, DISTANCE, SUDDENLY SHORTENED, FORMS CHARACTERS AS SYMBOLS. DEAFEN BY MASS MEDIA, EMBITTERED BY UNSETTLED CHEMISTRY, THE WILLING BODY, FOREVER IN TRANSITION. THE PRE-INVENTED EXISTENCE, OWNED BY LANGUAGE, CREATES A PASSAGE TOWARDS CHAOS. PARAGRAPHS OF CURRENTS, AMPLIFY THE FEELINGS, WHILE SILENCE LEAKS INTO THE NEW LUXURY OF TIME. GENTRIFICATION OF SENTIMENTS, BENEATH OUR PALMS, ALL THESE MEMOIRS. A MODERN CONSCIOUSNESS, STRETCHING OVER YEARS IN NARCISSISTIC DIFFERENTIATION. IN TOUCH WITH ANOTHER HUMAN SPIRIT, BLOWING BACKWARDS, BENEATH DARK WATERS. WE PUT OUR HANDS ON YOUR BODY, ONTO A NEW LANDSCAPE, EMPLOYED BY METAPHYSICAL MUTATIONS. AT THE EDGE OF THE COSMOS, PRAIRIES AND MOUNTAINS HIDE THE TRUTH IN TACTICAL SILENCE. APPARENTLY SO, A NUMBER OF MONTHS AGO, ABOVE OUR HEAD, A LANDSCAPE OF JOURNALS. MYSTICAL CONTENT, STATISTICALLY INSIGNIFICANT. A NEW PATIO, THEM CRAWLED THROUGH THE WALLS."
