Current Play for the Divergence Track 1: 00:3491: Jazzthetic In this extremity, alone, we are together, in relation to this key and that space, divinity in the move- ment, the progression of this is insane this this wandering phrasing of changing waves or is it stasis in the flurry, the violence from silence? “Your symbols, I see are inherent in my mouth.” Building even as it is falling. And we are beautiful, yes--simply full, ripened in this phase of swing communication. It doesn’t matter any longer where the melody is going-- it’s just flying Track 2: 00:3021: Raving Do you sense the ambience that breathes behind the system? Beating murderously, pounding down the period, the measure of my body fills the space— I want to make you dance— I formulate for your communion— the domination of the pulse unpeels the trip to visionary explosion— how we strain for ecstasy—this sticky radiance of concentrated movement. Track 3: 00:5657: Tip-Top Down Here we go— I’m gonna flow through the dragon door of my dreams to the hoard of what seems to be infinity of sea in me—in me in me I uncover discover and recover you unwinding from my airflow as a string of pearls form to echoing flame we hit the plateau and here we know there’s no where we need to go now--where’s my pride, where’s your pack of cigarrettes, hey we’ve got no time for mistrust cuz baby we’ve got to move the spirits are on to our groove and we’ve got to move-- I will find my way back through the smoke to the eye in my mind and we’ll rise and we’ll fall and we’ll rise in these skies.
