A recently unearthed video document of a solo performance on drums & electronics from 1990 shot at Exit Art's "Tantrum" multimedia festival...
I started to develop this electro-acoustic performance rig and approach as early as 1983...
However this tape - from 1990 - represents the last stage of this direction in my work... since this may be one of my last public performances on drumset -etc...

My old pal James Lo recently hipped me to the fact that an "ego search" on the the NY Times Arts page turns up all sorts of curios - some going back many years...etc This strikes me as a preferable alternative to scanning old xerox reviews and up loading them as hyper text dead jpegs's...
So here's the link to the Times search page with links to a bunch of reviews:

Our dear friend Anais Prosaic has put together this lovely 'documentary' video clip incorporating a 'voice over' type interview with performance material from our most recent trip to Paris to perform at the 'Filmer la Musique' festival at "Point Ephemere"
We are very lucky indeed to have such friends...

well... gee whiz... my name actually occurs twice in this review of the 2006 remounting of this early 90's Wooster Group piece I scored at St Anne's Warehouse... Great pic of Kate Valk anyway


Link"The Sacred Fire" by B.Z. Goldberg (1930)May 19, '07 1:06 PM
for everyone
Link: http://www.sacred-texts.com/sex/tsf/index.htm

I just bought a moldy cover less copy of this from an old hippie on Bedford Ave... It has evidently been out of print for quite some time.
I'm reading it now... so far it's a plausible imaginative 'historical' thematicization of the intertwining of sexual and religious ritual ecstasies prefigured in ancient mythic text and image & followed up through the judeo christian era...
and it's written in 1930 so it's a cultural artifact in and of itself...

In any case the entire text is evidently available online here for free...
and you get the great little collection of illustrations contained in the original as well - examples posted here:

http://bicameral.multiply.com/photos/album/18

This may very well turn out to be a useful text for decoding the subliminal wash of "resultant" imagery bubbling up to the surface in "Bicameral Research S&P System" performances... if nothing more earth shaking than this -etc...

Link: http://biologyofkundalini.com/article.php?story=SoundforDetoxification...

yup sonic vibration acts on the brain... in what can be greatly beneficial ways...
everybody more or less gets this... what is less studied and documented is that stroboscopic optic stimulation is also effective...

and yeah it seems the yogi's were the first to investigate such with the awareness
of bicameral brain functions and the symmetry of the body - etc

haven't read it all yet but this site looks pretty cool...

for everyone
Link: http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/03561a.htm

What is it that elevates certain image/objects to the status of the mythical?

I think in this case it's the symmetry... which in my own little pet theory courts extended contemplation by creating a kind of binaural (2 channel) image loop between the bicameral halves of the brain (often with erotic connotations)... and thereby creates something like a hypnotic state...

evidence to the contrary anyone?

Evidently the design of this Christian symbol - is of medieval - not early Christian origin...

LinkThe Alphabet Vs The Goddess | by Leonard ShlainApr 30, '07 3:59 PM
for everyone
Link: http://www.alphabetvsgoddess.com/timeline.html

Haven't read the book yet but this time line of the hypothetical shifts toward left or right brain dominance throughout the major periods of human history is enticing and seems at the outset to be completely parallel and compatible in time with Jayne's 'Bicameral' theory of consciousness...
