Ferric narrative of anon-celebrity, anti-celebrity ethos, tape is an escape from the snake of make it make up make over, a long loop stretched between ambition and insanity, a reel story to unravel at your leisure....
amidst the lobbyocracy, where tendrils of influence touch upon what matters, lobby for marginalised ideals and reels of rejected rhetoric, an estimated ethic or an ethnic of origin as original as original sin, we all must strive to reach forbidden fruits, behavour that suits itself in an off the shelf manner, if you can't be good be efficient..
circuit bent bint, skint and scraggy, a robot doll of droll design asks you to resign yourself to the wealth of nations...
Its a clear cut, we've got stuck in a rut, there's a need to breed some radical change, in the way we arrange our inner selves and our inner elves, its a question of economy, an economy of truth, like a hall mark of proof, the economic realm is a cloud cuckoo land, an unkind kind of illusion about wealth, like some primitive cult its been superseded by information, there's an informed reality about its unreliability, like a god...
Sign this - this is a perfect example of how regulation is being used to give advantage to large corporate institutions who can easily obtain legal permissions for things, the government has been lobbied by some PR dept to introduce this because it benefits them somehow and because there is no one with the budget to lobby against it, it gets passed. There are thousands of regulations in existance now that have a similar effect on each and every industry, its a proper racket ands it will only be overturned if people point it out and expose it for what...

The system veers between a need to follow rules and a need to be able to improvise, individual ability verses the 'hive' mentality. Having a mind of ones own, using your initiative always becomes the bug bear of any establishment and to a greater or lesser degree the apparatus of the 'state' becomes involved with extinguishing this kind of mentality. The state becomes the 'state of mind' of the governing status-quo that results when hive mentality predominates. Art can manifest itself as a kind of conduit of anti-establishment thought rather than mere decoration but inevitably the most popular art forms...
What kind of value system keeps our thinking buoyant? If we sink into a recession like an economic depression what can we focus our hopes and dreams into? It seems like our value system is suffering some kind of terminal decline and everything associated with it is oxidising or something, there are serious implications that could come with this, for without the prospect of becoming affluent, the value system could really go into decline as belief in it sinks with expectation. Capital aquisition is a motivating force what will take its place? Maybe there could be a renaissance in artistic...
So starts the tape noise diary of what seems to be going on, I reckon that if ever distortion was an important topic then now is its heyday, this is my particular interest and this is what this magnifying lens will focus on. Music is the metaphor but the connections and processes that constitute the rapid rapport of rationality this is what really turns the universe aound, like a huge reel to reel tape machine spinning and stretching the tapes of wrath, this is what this black whole into the inner core of brain tissue is all about; -my selfish...
