SOUL DISCHARGE

Red Notebook, p9:

" I would like to invite a small number of people to view 'Exhibit A': a few friends and aquaintances, and anyone who might have a particular resonance with the work or the process of its manifestational destiny with 'Exhibit B'.  The sensory infusion of the work into these people assigns them specific influence:  they become components in the '(TT)Time Travel (P)Process.'

"Perhaps they become storage units (or batteries) within the metaphysical device.  Or perhaps their 4D geometrical patterns of movement throughout 'Ex. A' can be superimposed to create some sort of runework or sigil-map to follow.  In any event, they become corroborators or accessories to the undertaking.  Perhaps their subsequent presence during 'Ex. B' will enact some sort of chrono-magnetic event, drawing the two shows together in timespace.

'IN THIS CITY THERE ARE A HUNDRED PATHS

TO EACH DESTINATION

AND HUNDREDS MORE

THAT LEAD NOWHERE'

                                              -JWT, 2005

"Care is required here; caution.  Do not draw others into this possible folly unconsentingly.  Maybe this whole process is just playing with words; but maybe something more is happening."

Red Notebook, p 10:

"To succumb to the illogical terminus of one's mortality; to gaze upon the Void and inhale terror; to weild the blunt pickax of imagination, mining diamonds from the blackness of helpless despair.  To lubricate said diamonds with the plasmic residue of willful engagement. To swallow Mystery."

Red Notebook, p 11-A:

" I fear my resolve may be floundering: where [when] is this thought process leading me?

"These things are good, and may lead to further illuminations:

-eating fish, especially in the morning.  This will lead to greater stamina and psychological insight

- the music of the Boredoms. Specifically the albums POP TATARI, SOUL DISCHARGE, and SUPER ROOTS 6.  SR6 in particular contains some tracks that must be counted among the greatest achievements of human creativity in the 20th Century.

-ridding myself of my possessions.  I must reduce the residual objects of my past to create an open field in which to cultivate new ideas. 

-preliminary experiments. start with this: Ride in a car along a predetermined stretch of road or highway, at a set speed (say 60mph). record the sounds of the journey: conversation, road noises, etc.  Time the trip.  Then make the same journey at a faster or slower speed, replaying the soundtrack from the first time."
