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.

John Cale’s appearance on “I’ve Got A Secret” in 1963, shortly after he participated in the marathon performance of Vexations, which was composed by Erik Satie. This first performance of Vexations at the Pocket Theatre in New York City, was organized by John Cage. Karl Schenzer was the only person who endured the entire 18 hour performance. At Where The Pieces Fall, we believe that Satie wrote this short chordal and repetitive tune to mock Wagnerism. Erik Satie was the first post-modern composer, and here we will refer to him as EsoteRIK SATIrE.

This routine titled “Filthy Words”, was broadcast on WBAI in 1973, and a complaint to the FCC provoked a court battle which was ultimately adjudicated by the Supreme Court
