new song

I originally started this blog because I needed a website to show to these Germans for this performance art festival that I was going to perform in that I ended up not going to anyway.  I applied to CalArts and ended up not going anyway (i.e. I didn't get in).  I studied art, that's art with a capital "A," at university, and ended up not going anyway.

Then I thought music.  Music!  Sure, that's what I love.  What I've always loved.  I'll do that.  Then I ended up not going anyway.  Only I go there quite frequently.  And I like musing on the process of writing, music that is, and so I thought here might be a good place to both present my music and my thoughts on my music in addition to whatever else comes out.

I've been told to dig one hole deeper as opposed to spending my time digging many shallow holes and I must say I disagree.  Digging many holes?  Yes.  Digging them shallowly?  No.  I find my interests and they find me.  The hole calls me.  Black and wanting.  It finds me.  Drawn to it irresistibly.  Once having passed through it, it is gone.  One does not return to one's original mother's womb.  Rather, one finds a new mother and a new womb to inhabit, gestate.  Expelled from one and called by another.  Life consumes life and life given to one is death dealt to another.  On and on.

Enjoy.
