a shudder ran through me

 

no sooner had the warm liquid mixed with the crumbs touched my palate than a shudder ran through me and i stopped, intent upon the extraordinary thing that was happening to me. an exquisite pleasure had invaded my senses, something isolated, detached, with no suggestion of its origin. and at once the vicissitudes of life had become indifferent to me, its disasters innocuous, its brevity illusory - this new sensation having had on me the effect which love has of filling me with a precious essence; or rather this essence was not in me it was me. ... whence did it come? what did it mean? how could i seize and apprehend it? ... and suddenly the memory revealed itself. the taste was that of the little piece of madeleine which on sunday mornings at combray (because on those mornings i did not go out before mass), when i went to say good morning to her in her bedroom, my aunt léonie used to give me, dipping it first in her own cup of tea or tisane. the sight of the little madeleine had recalled nothing to my mind before I tasted it. and all from my cup of tea.

(sounds like dirt xxix) satellite of love

satellite's gone
up to the skies
things like that drive me
out of my mind

i watched it for a little while
i like to watch things on tv

way up to mars
soon it will be filled
with parking cars

i watch it for a little while

(sounds like dirt xxviii) set the controls for the heart of the sun, atmospheric afterglows

little by little the night turns around
counting the leaves which tremble at dawn
lotuses lean on each other in yearning
under the eaves the swallow is resting

set the controls for the heart of the sun

over the mountain watching the watcher
breaking the darkness, waking the grapevine
one inch of love is one inch of shadow
love is the shadow that ripens the wine

set the controls for the heart of the sun
the heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

witness the man who raves at the wall
making the shape of his questions to Heaven
whether the sun will fall in the evening
will he remember the lesson of giving?

set the controls for the heart of the sun
the heart of the sun, the heart of the sun

(sounds like dirt xxvii) high on amphetamines

everything is exactly right
when i walk around here drunk every night
with an open container from squirrel is my spirit animal
in st. ides heaven
i've been out haunting the neighborhood
and everybody can see I'm no good
when i'm walking out between parked cars
with my head full of stars
high on amphetamines
the moon is a light bulb breaking
it'll go around with anyone
but it won't come down for anyone

you think you know what brings me down
that i want those things you could never allow
you see me smile and you think it's a frown turned upside-down
cos everyone is a fucking pro
and they all got answers from trouble they've known
and they all gotta say what you should and shouldn't do
though they don't have a clue
high on amphetamines
the moon is a light bulb breaking
it'll go around with anyone
but it won't come down for anyone
and i won't come down for anyone

(sounds like dirt xxvi) let me enfold you

long afloat on shipless oceans
i did all my best to smile
'til your singing eyes and fingers
drew me loving to your isle
and you sang
sail to me
sail to me
let me enfold you
here i am
here i am
waiting to hold you

did i dream you dreamed about me?
were you hare when i was fox?
now my foolish boat is leaning
broken lovelorn on your rocks,
for you sing, 'touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow
o my heart, o my heart shies from the sorrow'

i am puzzled as the newborn child
i am troubled at the tide
should i stand amid your breakers?
should i lie with death my bride?
hear me sing, 'swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you
here i am, here i am, waiting to hold you'

in the shadow's light

visual accompaniment to north palace, music and image by tomonari nozaki

 listen, it is the same with the morning rain
when you lift up the curtains of water
to venture out, and further than color,
into the unknown of puddles and shadows.

yves bonnefoy, from the edge of the woods,

  from in the shadow's light, 1987

live edit of une histoire de bleu by tomonari nozaki
there are some copies of his release still available via our parent company invisible birds

sea, none has measured all thy dark abyss,
none,
the sea, thy mirror
live in darkness and in mystery
by the sound of this love carnage and death
(distracted l'homme et la mer)

oh mon amour, je t'aime, je t'aime, je t'aime (la première partie)

community of light, an atlas of modern drone psych post kosmische fuckery

community of light will be playing tomorrow (8.10.13) in marin

gabrielson park in sausalito, noon sharp

community of light, part one (the light that we call darkness)

w/ chi yun, matthew swiezynski , & michael malinski

synths, vocals, guitar, delay/reverb devises, acoustic bass, zither, harmonicas, and various prayer bowls

one noteworthy critic has said of community of light :
community of light reconceives a music that has for a long time been gathered from the invisible and most ancient of all communities, which has been in existence since the creation of the cosmos, and will be with us through the end of time. this music has pursued the light that we call darkness, and a sound we call silence (with a method called night vision), and found a psych drone kosmische music therein.
