Inspired by Gregorian modes, other plainchants, and contemporary operas a la Lim and Chin.

Text: Rainer Maria Rilke's poem, Music

EN text: What are you playing, boy? Through the gardens it went like many steps, like whispering commands. What are you playing, boy? See, your soul is entangled in the rods of the syrinx. Why do you lure her? The sound is like a prison where loitering and languishing she lies; strong is your life, and yet your song is stronger, against your longing leaning sobbingly.-- Give her a silence, that the soul may softly turn home into the flooding and the fullness in which she lived, growing, wide and wise, ere you constrained her in your tender playings. How she already wearier beats her wings: Thus will you, dreamer, waste her flight away, so that her pinions, sawn through by the singing, no more may carry her across my walls when I shall call her in to the delights.

I finally rounded the last of my meager spare change to purchase an Ableton Live 8 license. How could I not? It's 25% off and it'll let me update to 9 free of charge when it comes out.

So, just for the hell of it I recorded an experiment applying filters heavilly and reverbs. Nothing to write home about (ironically enough), but here it is:

"In order to play the new Flaming Lips song "Two Blobs," you need to get 12 friends together and all download one YouTube video each. Then you all press "play" simultaneously, and (fingers crossed) a full song will emerge from the separate parts."

But after internet journos struggled to get to get the process to work, Salon compiled the tracks into the video linked here.

"Twenty years ago, it would have been easy to get some friends together and simultaneously press "play" on your cassettes. Ironically, it's this new technology of iPhones and YouTube that hinder the process by creating small differences in load time and playback speed. Then again, 20 years ago we wouldn't have been able to download the songs, put them into a movie editor, and then play all 12 tracks simultaneously, like: Ha-ha! Technology still beats art!"
