Media Torrent

To destruct/deconstruct the musical process, a roaring river of music… torrent of energy… The river of sound, a torrent of fragments, sweeping out of the present reality into a fast motion stream, uncontrollable, no idea where I am going with this one… The Stream of Life, Media, and Transformation: the torrent/energy/force of the artistic process. A vessel of all things… Dip into this torrent and catch what you can… Torrent, rushing, pulsating, inevitable, ongoing, where? Bits & pieces of material, debris, fragments… A direct, visceral relationship to the conditions of the post reality… all this swirls through my mind as a rushing, torrent of ideas fomenting in the delicate process of creation… A form of sculpture, always in flux, transient, elusive, process, river of sound, river of media, tap into the TORRENT, immersed in the sculptural space of the FLOW… I want to achieve the pulsing stasis of the out-of-time current of reality on tap, that streaming torrent of information that just keeps on flowing through our devices and through our collective brain… River of Sound | River of DATA (Torrent), the thrust of the ever-present-present, to capture the moment… THE FEED: the stream, the torrent, the I/O of the Studio Bunker, spiraling out virally thru the CHANNELS… In the streaming TORRENT there is a SWATH of textural elements that provide the SONIC SPACE for TAGGED elements that drift in + out of a hallucinogenic ambient world. The SND of the THIRD SPACE! Cavernous… Torrent: Perpetual FLOW in AUTO MODE ~~~~~~~~~~~> The Media TORRENT is the SHOW. Everything is assimilated into the TORRENT to keep the SHOW going, going, going!!! Keep the FLOW going!!! Media Torrent: the form, the space, the FLOW + Momentum that moves the NARRATIVE forward… The Catharsis is not in the destination but the sheer momentum of the MEDIA TORRENT: its ebb + flow, it’s breathless trajectory… DREAMS: IMMERSED IN THE TORRENT, INSERTED IN THE TORRENT, IMAGES OF DREAMS + ARTIFACTS OF MEMORIES + REMEMBRANCES PAST, RIDING TO THE END OF THE SUBCONSICOUS INTO THE REALIZATION OF THE CATHARIS EMERGING. IT’S AN APPROPRIATION OF IMAGES THAT RESIDE IN THE BRAIN…
