  • Blame Trane

    On this John Coltrane referenced episode the Video Unzymotic Generator decided to feature this poem:

    I met a traveller from an antique land
    Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
    Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,
    Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
    And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
    Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
    Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
    The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
    And on the pedestal these words appear:
    "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
    Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
    Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
    Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
    The lone and level sands stretch far away."

    — Percy Shelley's "Ozymandias"

  • Distorted Solarised Chromolithograph With Saxophone

    Which opens up another dilemna. Two consecutive past tense words. "A distorted solarised chromolithograph."

    Not sure what the rules are with this but it kind of looks wrong. For example "Rusted painted letterbox" would appear to read more correctly as "Rusty painted letterbox".

    Inserting "and" could make it read better: "A distorted and solarised chromolithograph." But as a title for this show I like "Distorted Solarised Chromolithograph with Saxophone" better than "Distorted and Solarised Chromolithograph with Saxophone."

    But what about "A galvanised painted letterbox?" That seems to work fine. It's even better than "A galvanised and painted letterbox?" Fine, it was probably galvanised first so "A painted galvanised letterbox?" And I can see the argument that a "galvanised letterbox" is an object in itself. The double past tense kind of mute.

    Well my argument for the moment (getting a bit desperate) is that the chromolithograph was solarised first and the distortion overlayed as a secondary step. (The distortion in the audio in this case from leaving the vocoder on)

  • It Is Not Clear What The Buddha Was Awakened To

    "It is not clear what the buddha was awakened to, or at what particular point the awakening came."
