Screen Dump 563

To Whom It May Concern sparks suicidal gestures

as if writing code for mental health players . . .

The scene begins with koi breaking the skin of a pond . . . 

You plug gaps in dreams with dissonance

compose drops with sounds . . . not symbols of sounds . . .

the common denominator I saw him/her

a dead end confusing your understanding of place . . .

the place you want to escape to

with Laurie Spiegel's nine-minute Sediments

recorded in the '70s on an analog synthesizer . . .

It speaks to dystopians and soundtracks

the Cornucopia scene in The Hunger Games . . .

otoacoustic emissions spilling over . . .

How do you propose to mark the memory gaps

that seem to have appeared overnight with pods of how-tos

jostling for attention . . . their talk the color of backstory frescoes

unloading demons of erotic curiosity

chalking a pool cue for nine-ball . . .

The clock is relentless . . . too easy to fail at composition

when OS upgrades abandon Music Mouse

and odysseyites enjoy a sabbatical in the Land of Yee . . .

Laurie Spiegel, Electronic Music Pioneer
