erotically saraband rhythmic structures that prophesy their own collapse
at the culmination of each barthere, a new sonic gremlin tinkering with
the machine. Burning holes in the Plaid suit. A multiplicity of sounds,
here, a harmonyhear a zilch, squelchit's monumental and the sounds are
alive in the tissues of this catacomb of changes.
