Robert Wyatt And Free Will (We Are Tired)

Posted in Pyscho Symphonic Pop, Video, 21st Century Socialism, Anti-Imperialist at 3:10 am by mbumba

Free Will And Testament (Wyatt, Kramer)

Given free will but within certain limitations,
I cannot will myself to limitless mutations,
I cannot know what I would be if I were not me,
I can only guess me.

So when I say that I know me, how can I know that?
What kind of spider understands arachnophobia?
I have my senses and my sense of having senses.
Do I guide them? Or they me?

The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects.
What can it mean, such gravity without a centre?
Is there freedom to un-be?
Is there freedom from will-to-be?

Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way.
We just invent or just assume a motivation.
I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible?
What are soldiers without a foe?

Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air.
Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended.
Neither born nor left to die.

Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill.
Let me off please, I am so tired.
Let me off please, I am so very tired.

Sputnik: 50 Years Ago This Week (Palimpstar)

Posted in Uncategorized, Art Rock, Javier Hernandez-Miyares, Pyscho Symphonic Pop at 6:28 pm by mbumba

This animated video was made by Joanna Hartell for my song “Palimpstar”. In this little ditty, i incorporated audio clips that were transmitted from outer space. As the clip fades you can hear the beeps of the Sputnik. Sputnik means travelling companion. I also used a sample of the sputnik beep at the beginning of the song, to reinforce the rhythmic accents that surround Eisenhower’s interstellar message, “through the marvels of scientific advance, my voice is coming to you from a satellite, circling in outer space”.

Palimpstar is an idea satellite rendered in sound.

Everybody wants to jump a little higher
Split your skull and put your brain into the fire
Tumble all around like a baby in a dryer
A rose is a rosebud is a radio flyer
