Whispered in bandits tones. Attack of each phoneme = armillary sphere followed by a false reasoning.
Words created in separate and accidental forms captured in secret rooms of your syntactical library.
With a severe stare, generate sounds imagined from yellow bits of eighty year old cartilage, bruised and
torn, but created for an elegant cosmopolitan crowd of followers.
.
.
.
In a smokers voice; harsh, rude, cruel, wishing forgiveness for decades of alarms and excursions.
Produce a testimonial to the swallow like, sped away high frequency shrills and theaters of sonic revelry
possible. Sculptured sighing; soapy , metallic crooning and sneeze a bit.
The organ of revivification. Harnessed droplets of sound fading with breath. Old complexity meets new
complexity (i.e.old complexity) allows the performer {vocalist(s)} to free ones self of constraint and disdain.
,
False lower voice. Captured and contemptuous, inaccessible and forbidden to all others.
Every attack dissolves with a vague shimmer to the voice, sustained and fainting to silence. With an
unconscious irony, this passage followed by every crumb of affection and beauty. Pops, munching,
mumble and caw along with sweeping melody.
Ann oyi ng and dec ept ful ; make no fri end s. Enc our age misb eha vio r and mis con ten ts acri fic e sou nd
for utterancesbut, sacrifice. Ceaseless problems of finance define your elastic fear. Your voice must
respond to this call.
Agi tat ed and ani mat ed. Thi s is a per for man ce of dar k aba ndo ned vol upt uar ies , fal len in lus t wit h
insignificant and exhausted temporal pleasures.
Performed on datura stramonium. Slight irritatio n growing to harmonic elegance and smears of armored
walls of fourths, stacked, and restacked with slight microtonal deficiencies.
Wispful and fervent. Followed by stammering inappropriate intervallic relationships between utterances;
body relaxed, create verbal gestures of annoyance and grace. Then a Renaissance of perfect counterpoint.

Cries of Candaulism; penetrating and closely guarded for some time. We create and delight in this creation
manifesting in shimmering Kentonian syntax filled with blizzards of sound sheets. Sing Bill Chase.
This is from Yesterday.smooth and tactile. Convey falsehood, followed by conveyed truth. Judg e, but
be simultaneously frightened. Sing an inquiry of decree.
Through the lens of maximum ordernot one of your parchment. Create verbal/vocal cabalistic signs
as if a novice trying to decipher the undecipherable riddle. Coy, belying instruction.

Thee Clumber Spaniel speaks. Bellowing and brazen; yet ill-knowledged and simple. Lithe in voice, not
in body. Modest, never lavish, an exemplary specimen of elaborately coded messages.
Concealed voices. Playing the role of the impersonator revealing six, seven , eight different personas;
all minimal talentsbut, highly differentiated.
Like an angelic doctor from the office of compline.

Creased and defrockeda gaggle of priests, prostates on the wall, reciting Balboaic psalms to the
pulpits of wicked sins; benedictions; move the moment o f ineffable splendor. Tune and be tuned a s to
your higher rattling; spew forth the beauty of monody and melody
With mystic ardor and strong pangs of uneasiness. Prayer like. Pray. Modulating murmurs lending to
squelched , somber tones of undeterminable origin.

Guttural intonation depicting gardens of modest soundswatering, growing, tilling,of plants, all
represented by voice and vocal gestures. Former Jack gaggers unite in a belief of loss and decided
recapitulation of their actionsmimic their emotions.
Embryonic, peaceful and dreamlike. An age when photography was favored in art.
Puritan spirit contradicted and demanded. A stentorian and craggy voicemigrate slowly to a hushed tone.
As we dri ve pas t t he fav ela s b eyo nd the bod ega we squ eal in tri bal ton es Abo rig ina l, uni nit iat ed, yetrespectful of their origins.
