Highway Gully

2002-05-01

I uploaded ‘Highway Gully’ the other day (see mp3 section).

It’s from my new CD …And Rabbits Named Friday.

It’s a song about how everything seems to move slowly right before an accident.

A strange inner peace washes over and helps you cope with the situation at hand. There is some resistance and then you just let go and succumb to the imminent outcome. You have no choice; you have lost control.

I can’t remember if I listened to DEVOLVER’s The Pilot’s Inside His Mind CD (transsiberian/mile14) before or after our accident, but suddenly I knew exactly what the album was about.

Here’s a link for a review of The Pilot’s Inside His Mind. One of my favourite albums from this past year!

I was the driver on a road trip in Iceland a few days after losing my glasses in NYC.
We all decided that it was worth the risk to experience the country in all its untouched glory.

After surviving the darkest, most extensive tunnel I’ve ever driven through, I thought we were in the clear.
Unfortunately, as I was bending down to get a CD out of my bag the sun caught my eye and I lost control of the car.

We went careening off the highway
then back on
then a 180º
then off to the other side
then back into the ‘Highway Gully’.
No one was hurt.

The only reason the seemingly never-ending accident did come to an end is that my friend John told me to stop accelerating.

I took my foot off the gas and then it was over.

That very friend said

“I think that if there had been any oncoming traffic then we would have been in big trouble, or if it’d happened 10 miles back then we would have plummeted into the ocean, but otherwise I could do nothing but laugh!!!”

I fixed the dangling bumper with a few hairpins, got rid of the mud and grass, and was never charged for the damages.
I was known as “McGirlver” for the next few months.

This was 30 seconds of the longest, strangest, most beautiful day I can remember.

Pivophone

À faire se retourner Edison dans sa tombe, voici en première mondiale le pivophone, dont la performance sera retransmise en direct sur plus de 20 radios publiques européennes, dans le cadre du Art’s Birthday organisé à Lausanne par Espace 2 au Cinema Bellevaux.

Tournant dans la tête de Jen Morris depuis des lustres et réalisée avec Micheal Egger, cette nouvelle machine pourrait s’inscrire comme la cerise sur le gâteau d’une histoire des machines à bruits. Des Intonarumori futuristes aux tubes robotiques des frères Decoster, c’est toute une généalogie glorifiant la virilité agressive, la force, le pouvoir, l’industrie et la guerre que révèle le pivophone. Le pivophone met en doute ce qui jusqu’à son arrivée faisait autorité dans les arts du son. Alors, s’agit-il d’écouter des pives comme John Cage désirait entendre l’âme des cendriers ? Non, mais on se rapproche. Et oui il faut se rapprocher. On est dans l’art de la miniature. Miniature d’un gros show télévisé où les pop stars sont des pives. Miniature d’une scène faite miroir. Miniature d’une patinoire d’Holidays on Ice, où les danseurs-hockeyeuses sont finalement grandeur nature. Alors déjà assité à un ballet de pives majestueuses sous speed ? Déjà écouté le fracas d’une pive contre une autre ?

Jen Morris est une artiste sonore de performances électroniques, radicales et troublantes. De renommée internationale sous le pseudo [sic], Morris communique rarement avec l’espèce humaine. Mais lorsqu’elle le fait, à travers, aussi, la vidéo, l’installation, la bande son de films et son label Squirrelgirl, c’est frontal et désarçonnant.

Michael Egger est un artiste vidéo, bricoleur-inventeur, programmeur, musicien et pédagogue.
