Note on Hsun Tzu "By saying, 'There are no names necessarily appropriate of themselves,' Hsun Tzu means that at the time when names were first invented, a certain name was used to indicate a certain thing according to the free will of those who made these designations. For example, men agreed with one another that they would call a dog by the word 'dog,' yet at the beginning they might just as conceivably have agreed upon the word 'horse' to designate it. When these designations had once been agreed upon, however, so that people used a certain name to indicate only that certain thing, this became customary. Thereupon names and the things they designated had their necessary appropriateness, one to the other, and could no longer be changed at pleasure. Even when the names were first being made, however, at the time when 'there were no names necessarily appropriate of themselves,' there were nevertheless some that were 'especially felicitous.' Names which could be readily pronounced, for example, would be more felicitous than difficult sounding names." (from A History of Chinese Philosophy, Fung Yu-Lan, 1952) - Saussure two millennia early. But what is missing is the institutionalization of names - for example, who or what declares the 'Axis of Evil'? The distortion of names is the reification of an empathetic magic in which earlier designations resonate with later; the result is a population, ourselves, unsure of any meaning whatsoever, or even if meaning is ever applicable - perhaps it is nothing more than an operator, a function ... === characters right to left (ongoing translation with ellen zweig) heaven earth black yellow is earth black,

(WCBS) my friend and i think we will die in the next two months, from some as yet unknown violence. new york is under furious regimens, the alert level remaining high in spite of the rest of the country. almost everyone i know is out of work. george bush rides hard with the shield of his presidency into other countries; we have become a traditional 19th-century colonial power overnight. i fear disappearing, the sudden knock at the door, the brute force of anonymous men. every text i write points to my guilt in this and every other matter. america has transformed within the hour; there will be no next election, as the country is placed under trumped up emergency powers. the soldiery already sides with bush; every evening, patriotic soldiers, who have never voted anyway, appear on the evening news. new york will have the highest building in the world, in five years, another target, as the city continues its doomed path to armageddon. we are certain there is nuclear material here, ready to explode. i no longer sleep at night, instead replaying the rhetoric of massacre and slaughter i hear daily on the radio. the government has become monolithic, the president listening to three or four men at the most. the cadre is inspired by god and the mission of god. the country is held captive, as we protest, realizing only violence will end violence, only slaughter will end slaughter. as citizens we live in confusion and anxiety, watching our nightmares turn real. we have abandoned the community of the world, the internet a pale reminder of what we might have been. smiling earnest troops are filmed leaving on enormous carriers. we offer billions in aid to countries that accept our troops, while the stock market continues to crash here, and the number of homeless rapidly increases. the nation is thrown off balance, all formal energy tending towards military action. it is hard to focus as we walk in fear of domestic terrorists from above, other terrorists from within. for the first time we live in absolute impotency, speaking to ourselves, waiting for everything and nothing at all. this morning i saw two flashes, then nothing. sometimes there are sounds. the meaninglessness of the world asserts itself at every turn. we will not have to wait much longer, we will wait forever. the cadre has the names, and dates. the cadre is absolute, and every absolute is evil. === piece-ing music divide-ing the-ing twelve-ing semitones-ing by-ing four,-ing leaving-ing four-ing minor-ing thirds,-ing for example-ing C,-ing D#,-ing F#,-ing A,-ing there-ing is-ing the-ing minor-ing third-ing harmony-ing between-ing any-ing two consecutive-ing pairs,-ing for-ing example-ing D#-F#.-ing note-ing that-ing there-ing are-ing three-ing such series-ing of-ing minor-ing thirds-ing in-ing the-ing scale.-ing call-ing these-ing bell-ing harmonies-ing for-ing obvious reasons.-ing improvise-ing such-ing that-ing there-ing is-ing no-ing tonic-ing at-ing all,-ing that-ing each-ing note-ing is equidistant,-ing carrying-ing with-ing it-ing its-ing minor-ing third-ing scale.-ing emphasize-ing octaves-ing on occasion-ing --ing for-ing example-ing f#-F#-ing as-ing punctuation-ing --ing as-ing if-ing to-ing say-ing Here-ing is-ing where the-ing tonic-ing might-ing have-ing been,-ing a-ing resting-place-ing or-ing return-ing which-ing is-ing inauthentic, which-ing leaves-ing everything-ing to-ing be-ing desired,-ing which-ing is-ing at-ing best-ing temporary-ing in-ing the-ing midst-ing of-ing nomadic-ing live.-ing continue-ing in-ing this-ing manner,-ing playing-ing quickly,-ing nervously,-ing so-ing that-ing each-ing phrase-ing disappears-ing into-ing others,-ing the-ing bells-ing of-ing the-ing universe-ing speak-ing out-ing in-ing all-ing ways,-ing as-ing if-ing particles-ing and-ing alternative-ing universes-ing were-ing formed-ing and-ing deformed-ing at-ing astonishing-ing rates.-ing clarify-ing the-ing as-if-ing so-ing that-ing such-ing particles-ing and-ing alternative-ing universes-ing are,-ing for-ing a-ing fact,-ing brought-ing into-ing existence,-ing play-ing with-ing the-ing speaking-ing of-ing the-ing word-ing of-ing creation,-ing the-ing bells-ing faster-ing and-ing faster,-ing the-ing fury-ing of-ing newborn-ing life-ing === diminished composition musmus music ic ic musmus music)ic) ic) (plapla play my m y musiusi usic musmus music ic ic of of of thethe the sphsph sphereere eres thethe there re re areare are intint intensens ensitiiti ities es es andand and eaceac each mh m h musiusi usic aloalo along ng ng witwit with th t h the he he musmus music ic ic of of of thethe the sphsph sphereere ere thethe the mismis miseryery ery of of of musmus music musmus music ic ic of of of thethe the sphsph sphereere eres musmus music ic ic of of of thethe the sphsph sphereere eres musmus music ic ic (plapla play my m y musiusi usic) musmus music worwor world ld ld - i hi h i hearear eard td t d therher here'de'd e'd be be be musmus music ic ic herher here -e - e - heahea heard rd rd somsom sometheth ethin:in: in:of of of youyou your sr s r skinkin kin - thethe they sy s y saidaid aid to to to comcom come he h e hereere ere - thethe they sy s y saidaid aid thethe they'ry'r y're be b e be me m e musiusi usic & & piepie piece-ce- ce-inging ing musmus music & & piepie piece-ce- ce-inging ing musmus music === .reading the .talker .write this is the anti-war room. sink or swim.

Further, I have constructed a series of 95 still images. In addition, I have constructed a number of pieces using the 1878 Beatty pump organ, and the 1987 Mirage Ensoniq. I have also performed on the organ for a video constructed by Foofwa for part of the initial section of the piece. In addition, I have constructed a short series of videos of Anja and Foofwa for a new piece to be constructed with the Blender 3d program. The text I have constructed is initially in French; I constructed a further English translation, replete with errors paralleling the fecundity of the French. Foofwa has constructed a videotape of my reading of the French text, as well as the second variant of the French text, which I constructed from a computer program I constructed from a program constructed by Florian Cramer. In the organ performance for Foofwa, the camera was focused on the pumping feet, placing the constructed piece under the aegis of labor. If music is a construct, I am that construct. If one can speak of a piece of music, one speaks only of an instantiation of the institutionalization of a segment of sound lost in the world. If one constructs a piece based and biased on the losing of the world, one begins the construct of a poetic based on mourning and labor. If labor is the beginning of the loss of the world, mourning is the end. If the word gains in the reification of labor, ululation is its loss and the mourning of that loss. If we can no longer speak of 'french' as an active, but must employ 'freedom,' then France is called Freedom. If my work is silent with the fullness of the mouths and interiority of dance, it speaks with the emptiness of speech and the exteriority of dance. If it is silent, if it speaks at all. If it speaks, if it is silent at all. === invisible war warm exhausted, frightened, battered from the slaughter... i crawl towards her, i'm forward, do lovely war benefiting latin anti-war president saying tony snowy, you are warming it, too - the whole lot of them cold warriors compulsive-obsessives under warning - we're a declared state emergency :resistance is thrust with stroke keys. boy wounded in flanders holding onward this great beast penurious, shim gentle wound, before or after, have needs. an other need, says travis. alas, then, war, tomorrow. we die, not to be massacre, immobilized, he wounding beautiful me, exist. but it's that die, question. idiot year? friend, terrible, child. listens all radio television, she knows what about, don't know. so ask her brave easy making "television, war." thrown off balance, formal energy tending military action. it .write room. sink swim. === WARNING AGAINST AMERICANS CODE IF NOT YOU FEED SEE THEM.

book, self-contrary, asking nothing - a book to be read in any position, in any state of mind - a book of meaningless revelations - a book to be pronounced or mispronounced any way you like - a book to be read once or thousands of times, or not to be read at all - a book of any emotional states of writers and readers - a book to be handled with purity or impurity, scarcity or excess - a book read in murmuring, silence, politely, a book to be read out loud - a book to be read quickly, almost in a blur or slowly at a standstill - a book without supplication, an orderly or disorderly book - a book without obeisance or honor, a dishonorable book - a book any way one wants it, an irritable confusing book - a book you can put down at any time or read through all at once - a book whose length grows, a mumbled indistinct book - a book of many colors and images, a perverse and impolitic book - a vowelless and unreadable book - an illegible book, without punctuation - an archaic book from the future, an anachronistic book from the past - a book of run-on sentences, words, and chapters, dissembling, unclear - a book of diminished speech, of intensities and dissolutions - a wavering and belittled book, a wavered and belittling book - a book neither here nor there, neither this nor that - a book to be dismissed, a book displaced by wandering souls - a misinterpreted book, a book without interpretation - a book without conceivable interpretation, a mute and blurred book - an opaque book, a book with obstacles, a book of obstacles - a book of generalities, an insipid and tepid book - an unfeeling and austere book, a book without emotional response - a book of babbling and indecipherable voices - an unsatisfying and incomplete book, a book impossible to grasp - === My

I'm tired of the complaining. If you don't want to be here and support us, you can always leave. There's not enough said about the other side on these lists. It's time we took a stand. This is the best country on earth with the most freedom. We have to protect it. We have to strike at anyone who would take us out. Look what happened a year and a half ago when we let our guard down. That was the liberals' fault. They believe everyone loves us. We know better than that. A country prepared is a country that survives. - MOAB === Jimmy no Carter "Our nation can be strong abroad only if it is strong at home, and we know that the best way to enhance freedom in other lands is to demonstrate here that our democratic system is worthy of emulation. To be true to ourselves, we must be true to others. We will not behave in foreign places so as to violate our rules and standards here at home, for we know that this trust which our nation earns is essential to our growth." (Jimmy Carter.) "We can have an American government that does not oppress or spy on its own people but respects our dignity and our privacy and our right to be let alone." (Jimmy Carter.) "The United States should give more vigorous support to the United Nations and to other international bodies in order to attract world attention to the denial of freedom. These bodies are limited in power, and I believe that's best; but they can serve as a conscience of the world community, and they deserve far more support than our government has given them in recent years."

But I wake up in the morning and there's, just for an instant, a sense of hope. You don't know what to do with it; it begins to fade just as soon as you're alert, as soon as you realize what the day is going to bring." Sue-Ann felt otherwise. "I keep the whole day like a bouquet of precious flowers," she replied, brushing her hair back. "It keeps me going. These aren't hard times for a lot of people, no matter what you read in the news." Travis said, "I'm going to pay for the espressos," thinking "with my life in this era of inconsequence when you can already hear the military band over there in the Plaza." Sue-Ann was listening intently. When he returned, she went on, "Brass instruments make me nervous, even in an orchestra. And marches are so, well, plodding, as if we've nothing better to do than go around walking in the sand." "Dragging our cannon," replied Travis. He, too, was ill at ease, glancing at a table across the cafe. The General was sitting with his Chief of Staff. They, too, heard the music, and smiled. They were prepared for war. The Chief had laid out a series of maps and diagrams on the small table. He pointed excitedly. "We're here, but we'll be here by fall," he said. The General could only agree. All the satellites carried fresh news of victories. The Chief thought of the desert. In the desert, Claude had his legs shot off. He screamed. Didn't the Chief know what was going on? Surely, Sue-Ann must have filled him in. "Oh, this is a sorry sight," he thought. "I won't survive much longer." In the distance he could hear cannon-fire; it sounded like a military band, all that brass singing for the showdown. He wondered where Travis was, what was going through his mind. Travis was thinking. "War is god-awful. There's no escape; it fills the air, contaminates everyone except the righteous. Anyone who can 'die for something' has never lived for anything. Sue-Ann, thank God, has no illusions. Sue-Ann exists, like I exist, like the men at that table over there, like Claude. Claude must be bored out of his mind, all that sand..." He paused, lit a cigarette, waited for the Resistance to kick in. "Can a desert be ruined," he wondered. "Can anything?" Claude died. The last radiotelephone call to the Chief concerned a flock of black birds over the horizon. "They're everywhere," he said. "They're coming closer and closer. Enormous talons, black as night, red beaks almost glowing in the sun. The birds." "The birds" were his last words. The sand was stained red. His black uniform stood out like the sky. It was inescapable, obscene. The General was pointing. "Stop thinking about Sue-Ann," he said. He pointed at the maps. "Over here, and here, and here." His fingers moved quickly across the landscape. Jean was alone down there, somewhere down there. The Chief said "Don't think about time. Or space, for that matter. This is dead land, a dead map. Someday the sun will disappear. In billions of years it will disappear. That's not much time in the scheme of things. A lot can happen, but then nothing happens at all. Once you realize that, you're saved. You don't have to believe anything, and you're saved." Sue-Ann thought of Jean. "He was my first love," she said, to no one in particular. "Unbelievably empty. That's what kept him going. That's what destroyed me." Travis nodded; he was distracted. "Jean" was a name to him, nothing more. A syllable of affect, like "fuck." It collapsed of its own weight; it was lost, spoken, unspoken. "Jean," she said. "You know it's Jean." She paused. "He's nothing to me." The sand covered the body. The army marched forward, here, and here, and here. The army passed children with their eyes gouged out, women with the arms and breasts cut off, men without ears, noses, legs. All alive on the back of the beast. The dead were indescribable. The birds covered the sky, an enormous migration. The birds kept going, north to south, east to west, west to east, south to north. The birds kept flying. The desert, shadowed, cooled. The trace of the army across the sand... "Let's go," Travis said. "Let's get out of here." "Okay," said Sue-Ann. "Enough memories anyway. And it's getting late." They slowly made their way towards the Plaza. The General and the Chief were already gone. A single napkin remained on the table. "Here," it said. "The guns here." An arrow pointed to the north-east. Sue-Ann turned it as they crossed into the street. Louder and louder, the band! Stirring music and marches! The brass in step! The woodwinds backing up! And the drums! The drums! Night fell. The waiters chained the chairs down, cleared the tables. The band played on.
